Scripture Of The Day
In your patience possess ye your souls. Luke 21:19.Read The Bible In a Year
Isaiah 3-4; Galatians 6.Thoughts For The Day
There is nothing but God's grace (covenant). We walk upon it; we breathe it; we live and die by it; it makes the nails and axles of the universe.Formerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine for magic.
Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, faith looks up.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
A Strong Bond Lasts ForeverOur modern weddings are so different than in biblical times. The last few we've attended had a ceremony which lasted 20 minutes, and a two hour reception with finger foods, a cake, a photographer, some items and toasts and speeches.
In Bible days, a wedding party lasted a whole week. Family and friends would wait for the groom to make an appearance. He would be circling the area with his friends, and best man (to ensure that he didn't get "lost"), telling everyone that he was getting married, and receiving gifts from well-wishers.
The ceremony didn't start until he showed up. Once he did, the doors were locked (Matt 25:10) (to ensure that he didn't escape), and the wedding officially began. It was sacred and protected. And both families made public commitments to encourage and support the union. Once the knot was tied, the couple would consummate their union in a back bedroom immediately, or overnight, then come out with all smiles, to let the revellers know that it was formalised.
Afterwards, friends and family would attend to the couple, as a king and queen, for the next seven days. We see glimpses of that when Jesus attended the wedding in Cana of Galilee (Joh 2:1-11). Then came the Honeymoon. For the year prior to the wedding, the man was supposed to have built a house for the couple. After the wedding, the man was not to go to war or start a new business, but to attend to his wife.
'When a man has taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war or be charged with any business; he shall be free at home one year, and bring happiness to his wife whom he has taken' (Deut 24:5). The origins of the term "Honeymoon" date back to the times of Babylon. In order to increase the virility and fertility of the newlyweds, the father of the bride would provide his son in law with all the mead (a honey-based drink) he could drink during the first month of the marriage (and therefore "moon" a full lunar cycle).
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh" (Gen 2:24). God views marriage as a lifelong bond of commitment. It starts off strong so it can finish strong... just like our walk in the Lord!!
Call Me
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3.
The prophet Jeremiah was in distressing circumstances. He was in a city under siege. To make matters worse, he had been put in prison because of his counsel to surrender to the Chaldeans. Everywhere he turned there was danger and opposition. But God assured him, "Call to Me and I will answer." And God did. He delivered the prophet both from prison and from the hands of his enemies.
Far too many Christians fail to take God up on His promise. Prayerlessness is a common problem in the church today. God, however, will not do His part until we do ours. We do not call; therefore, God does not answer (James 4:2). As a result, we do not see the wonderful things God wants to show us.
Commit yourself to call on God in prayer. Be consistent. Be courageous. Be confident. Then when you pray, God will show you "great and mighty things." There cannot be an answer until there is a prayer.
Facts Of The Day
Victorian publications never dared show a bed in any of their advertisements. When illustrations of the bedroom were required, the bed itself was hidden by curtains.
