The past cannot be changed, however, the future is still in your power.

Personal Story Of The Day
All Food Is Pleasant For The Hungry SoulA Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of the newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So I think I'm wasting time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all."
This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher: "I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals, but for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this: They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work."
He concluded... "If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!"
Jokes Of The Day
A blonde goes into a nearby store and asks a clerk if she can buy the TV in the corner.The clerk looks at her and says that he doesn't serve blondes, so she goes back home and dyes her hair black.
The next day she returns to the store and asks the same thing, and again, the clerk said he doesn't serve blondes.
Frustrated, the blonde goes home and dyes her hair yet again, to a shade of red.
Sure that a clerk would sell her the TV this time, she returns and asks a different clerk this time.
To her astonishment, this clerk also says that she doesn't serve blondes.
The blonde asks the clerk, "How in the world do you know I am a blonde?"
The clerk looks at her disgustedly and says,"That's not a TV -- it's a microwave!"
************************************
A blind guy on a bar stool shouts to the bartender, "Wanna hear a blonde joke?"
In a hushed voice, the guy next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, you should know something."
Our bartender IS blonde, the bouncer is blonde. I'm a 6' tall, 200 lb black belt. The guy sitting next to me is 6'2", weighs 225, and he's a rugby player. The fella to your right is 6'5" pushing 300 and he's a wrestler. Each one of US is blonde. Think about it, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?"
The blind guy says, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Innocent Suffering
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: Job 19:25. References from Job 19:1-29.
One of the most touching Bible stories is that of Ruth and Boaz. You may remember that Ruth was the daughter in law of the Israelite Naomi. Because both Ruth and Naomi were widowed, they returned to the ancestral home of Naomi's husband. According to Israelite custom, Ruth hoped to marry one of her late husband's relatives to preserve the family inheritance.
Eventually that person turned out to be Boaz, who acted as a kinsman redeemer for Ruth and Naomi.
The responsibilities of this human redeemer included avenging a family members murder or effecting the release of a relative forced into debt bondage. But the kinsman redeemer also represented God Himself, who released the nation from Egypt.
Today's verse gives another powerful picture of God as our Redeemer. After Bildad's speech (see yesterday's study), Job's sharp reply is no surprise. But as we look carefully at Job's and Bildad's words, we observe an important difference. For all Bildad's piety, his view of God is actually distant. Bildad talks a lot about God, but we don't sense that hes talking to God.
Job, on the other hand, sees God actively involved in his plight and often speaks directly to God. Job doesn't abstractly say that the wicked are caught in a trap. Instead, he says that God has trapped him (v6)! Job feels utterly abandoned by God (v7-12), by his friends and family (v13-14), and by guests and servants (v15-16), and he is unafraid to say so.
In his cries, we find an echo of the suffering servant of Isaiah 53:3, which pictures Jesus in his own innocent suffering.
And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? Ruth 1:11.
When Egypt first conquered a land called Nubia (between Egypt and Sudan), a regiment of soldiers was sent across the desert with a captured guide. The men suffered extreme thirst. Suddenly, they saw a lake in the distance. It seemed logical to head right for the lake.
Although their guide assured them the lake was not real, the soldiers were convinced that it was. It had to be; they could see it. The soldiers decided to kill the guide and then set out to reach the lake. But to their dismay, the water turned out to be only a mirage. Every soldier perished.
What seems logical isn't necessarily right. Naomi presented a very logical argument. It was not possible for her to bear sons to replace Mahlon and Chilion; and even if she could, Orpah and Ruth would not want to wait until these boys were old enough to marry. The obvious conclusion was that her daughters in law should return to their Moabite families.
That sounded reasonable, so Orpah did. As a result, though, she eventually perished without knowing the God of Israel. Ruth, on the other hand, rejected the logical argument and ultimately found herself drawn into the family of God.
God often doesn't follow the dictates of human logic. That doesn't mean He's illogical, but that His logic is greater than ours. The way God does things is not always the way we do things (Isa 55:8-9). While we are limited in knowledge and power, God is omniscient and omnipotent. While we are trapped in time and space, God is eternal and omnipresent.
Our logic reflects our limitations; God's logic reflects His unlimited ability. Take care when following human reasoning... it may seem right at the time, but "its end is the way of death" (Prov 14:12).
Always trust God's logic; it's the way of life. To know God's logic you must know His will, and to know God's will you must read His Word and serve him as the Spirit has determined.
