Intro
Thursday, November 20 2025from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship
Good morning and welcome to a brand new day
Only 42 days to the year 2026
Scripture Of The Day
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. Psalms 9:10.Read The Bible In a Year
Ezekiel 14-15; James 2.Thoughts For The Day
If you raise children with criticism they learn to be critical.God wants us to bite off more than we can chew. Remember David's faithful acceptance of the Giant's challenge? He chose to see what God had said about the nation rather than fear for his mortal life.
If life were measured by accomplishments, most of us would die in infancy.

Jokes Of The Day
An 8-year-old girl went to her dad, who was working in the yard. She asked him, "Daddy, what is sex?" The father was surprised that she would ask such a question, but decides that if she is old enough to ask the question, then she is old enough to get a straight answer. He proceeded to tell her all about the "birds and the bees."When he finished explaining, the little girl was looking at him with her mouth hanging open. The father asked her, "Why did you ask this question?" The little girl replied, "Mom told me to tell you that dinner would be ready in just a couple of secs."

A cruise ship passes by a remote island, and all the passengers see a bearded man running around and waving his arms wildly.
“Captain,” one passenger asks, “who is that man over there?”
“I have no idea,” the captain says, “but he goes nuts every year when we pass him.”
************************************
A man was driving along the highway, and saw a rabbit hopping across the middle of the road. He swerved to avoid hitting the rabbit, but unfortunately the rabbit jumped in front of the car and was hit. The driver, being a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulled over to the side of the road and got out to see what had become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay, the rabbit was dead. The driver felt so awful he began to cry.

A woman driving down the highway saw the man crying on the side of the road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man what was wrong. "I feel terrible," he explained. "I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it." The woman told the man not to worry. She knew what to do. She went to he car trunk and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp, dead rabbit, and sprayed the contents of the can onto the rabbit.
Miraculously, the rabbit came to life, jumped up, waved its paw at the two humans and hopped down the road. 50 meters away the rabbit stopped, turned around, waved at the two again, hopped down the road another 50 meters, turned, waved, and hopped another 50 meters. The man was astonished. He couldn't figure out what substance could be in the woman's spray can! He ran over to the woman and demanded, " What was in your spray can? What did you spray onto that rabbit?"
The woman turned the can around so that the man could read the label. It said: " 'Hare Spray' Restores Life to Dead Hare. Adds Permanent Wave."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Eternal Work
What Are You Really Asking For?
John 16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
This is the Prayer of Jabez.
1 Chronicles 4:10 'And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me!' And God granted him that which he requested.
Many times we pray for things and don't realize what we are asking, or how much the answer entails. We forget to 'count the cost', to see if we are up to that which we are asking God. Too many times we ask in haste, only to find it's more than that which we were 'bargaining' for, and we waste our talents. We forget that, if God sees fit to give us 'the desires of our heart', He will supply the will power, the time, and energy, to get it done. But we have to rely on Him, and not go out on a tangent of our own making.
When we ask God to 'enlarge our territory', we need to realize He's going to make a way for us, as an individual, to be able to present His gospel to more people than we have ever imagined. We need to be prepared to share the Word effectively. We also need to be ready to change in any direction, if God warrants it. We want to be fully under His direction, listening to His wisdom completely.
Something else to keep in mind is God's blessings for your life. He wants to bless us, but often times, we turn them down, without realizing it. We don't ask for His blessings, so they never come. His Word tells us to 'ask and ye shall receive'. James 4:3 says it best: 'ye have not because ye ask not'. We need to learn that we are free to ask God for His blessings for our lives.
I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever: Ecclesiastes 3:14... References from Ecclesiastes 3:9-22.
'Peter Pan', the title character in J. M. Barrie's play and novel, told Wendy that he ran away the day he was born. 'He explained, It was because I heard father and mother talking about what I was to be when I became a man. I don't want ever to be a man. I want always to be a little boy and have fun. So I ran away'.
If only Solomon had thought of that! The above verse actually resembles Peter's 'just have fun' philosophy; the chief difference being that Ecclesiastes doesn't provide the escape clause of Neverland. The primary direction given to us in chapter 3 is to enjoy life and be satisfied (v12, 13), and that's the second time Ecclesiastes makes that point (2:24). But we need to understand that idea in its context.
The end of today's verses brings up for the third time the issue of enjoying one's lot, but with a qualifier... no one knows what comes next (v22). Likewise, we can miss the point of verse 11. It's natural to single it out as a warm, sentimental statement about the glory of each and every part of creation. But this passage really emphasizes the humility of all creation. It is God who dictates the seasons of life, and He alone understands the eternal plan.
The labour of man is subject to change and death, but what God does lasts forever (v14). That is the unmistakable distinction between God and man. And so it follows that, although men won't remember the rulers of the past (2:16), God keeps record of all man's deeds, and will judge them righteously, unlike the fallen system of this world (v15-17).
Verses 19-21 emphasize the inevitability of death by comparing the fate of man to that of the animals. But the passage on the whole also portrays God as an involved ruler over His creation. The message of Ecclesiastes is this: for life to have meaning, we must do more than simply acknowledge God's existence while pursuing human ambitions... we need to be part of His work that endures forever.

Then, when those blessings begin to flow into our lives, we need to be good stewards, and pass those blessings on to others. He doesn't give for us to keep it hidden or tucked away in our little nest, but to help others that are in need, or less fortunate than we are.
