Scripture Of The Day
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified. Psalms 40:16.Read The Bible In a Year

Credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.Even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.
Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see bird that had the blues? One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses.

Personal Story Of The Day
No Amount Of Proof Is Ever Enough
Jesus therefore called them an "evil generation" (Luke 11:29). The only sign they would be given was the sign of Jonah the prophet, who had been thrown into a stormy sea (Jonah 1:2-3).
When the Ninevites heard Jonah's message of repentance after he had spent 3 days in the belly of a fish, they believed God had sent him and they repented. Jesus likewise was arrested, murdered and rose again in a similar three day period.
In a similar fashion, the religious leaders who already knew of Jesus' words and works would soon see Him crucified and securely entombed. In the following weeks they would hear personal testimonies from those who had seen Him alive, and had even touched Him, but they still wouldn't believe (change their mind).
Today we have the Gospel record of what Jesus said and did, written by people who knew Him. If we are open to the truth, we have all the evidence we need to believe. In every one of our church meetings, the voice gift of tongues is exercised, meaning every meeting has God's designated sign in operation (1Cor 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not:).
Even more so, when we obey the gospel... signs and miracles become part of our personal lives.
Jokes Of The Day
It is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light, and certainly not desirable, as one's hat keeps blowing off.************************************
A lonely frog telephoned the Psychic Hotline and asked what his future holds. His personal psychic advisor tells him: "You are going to meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything about you."
The frog is delighted with this news,
"This is great! Will I meet her at a party?" he croaks.
"No," says the psychic, "in biology class."
************************************
The Indians asked their Chief in autumn, if the winter was going to be cold or not. Not really knowing an answer, the chief replies that the winter was going to be cold and that the members of the village were to collect wood to be prepared.
Being a good leader, he then went to the next phone booth and called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is this winter going to be cold?"
The man on the phone responded, "This winter was going to be quite cold indeed."
So the Chief went back to speed up his people to collect even more wood to be prepared. A week later he called the National Weather Service again, "Is it going to be a very cold winter?"
"Yes", the man replied, "it's going to be a very cold winter."
So the Chief goes back to his people and orders them to go and find every scrap of wood they can find. Two weeks later he calls the National Weather Service again: "Are you absolutely sure, that the winter is going to be very cold?"
"Absolutely" the man replies, "the Indians are collecting wood like crazy!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
An Amazing Personal Relationship
He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. Psalm 40:2. Read: Psalm 40.
In the above scriptures, you may have been puzzled by the beginning of verse 6: 'Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened (pierced)'. Put aside all thoughts of jewellry... the explanation is found in the Mosaic Law. 'And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him forever.' (Ex 21:56).
In other words, to have one's ear pierced symbolized a voluntary, lifelong commitment to service. Verse 6, then, is King David's declaration that he is God's servant for life. In the prayer of Psalm 40, he explained why he made this choice... God's saving actions and character.
Who is God and what does He do? He hears and answers prayer. He saves and redeems people in trouble, giving them a secure place to stand. He even puts a new song in their mouths to praise Him for doing so... and if anyone was ever qualified to write that verse, it was David!
Even beyond the mighty wonders God had done though, the psalmist was amazed at the personal relationship God had made possible between Himself and mere humans. He has revealed to us personally His love, truth, and faithfulness.
Bitter Waters
Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah. Exodus 15:23.
During the last decades of the 1900's the news had been filled with stories about a pollutant called acid rain. It's an increasing problem in the northeastern United States, Europe and Canada. Acid rain is the result of sulphur and nitrogen oxides being washed from the air by normal rainfall. These pollutants are killing whole forests and destroying fish and other aquatic life in numerous lakes... or so they claimed.
The people of Israel encountered a similar situation at an oasis they called Marah, which means "bitter." Something had so polluted the water that it was undrinkable. The people of God were in danger of dying of thirst. But when we need God most, He is always there. God directed Moses to a tree that miraculously restored the pureness of the water when cast into it (v25). Bitter water also can destroy our spiritual lives.
James asked... Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening?" (James 3:11). The sweet spirit God wants for us cannot exist in a heart polluted by bitterness. Bitterness on the inside will eventually manifest itself on the outside. No matter how carefully we think we have concealed it, bitterness will contaminate all we are, all we say and all we do. The only solution is to use the healing power of God's Spirit to the bitterness of our lives.
