Intro

Tuesday, June 16 2026
from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship

Good morning all......


Only 199 days to the year 2027

Scripture Of The Day

I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
Psalms 9:2

Read The Bible In a Year

Nehemiah 4-6 ; Acts 2:22-47

Thoughts For The Day

"Always do right. This will surprise some people and astonish the rest."

The older you get, the better you realize you were.

You've got to sing like you don't need the money, love like you'll never get hurt. You've got to dance like no one is watching. It's gotta come from the heart, if you want it to work.

Motivation For The Day

" If you continually give you will continually have. "

Personal Story Of The Day

Strong On The Inside

A large recycling company uses suction to extract contaminating substances from steel drums. Powerful pumps draw the materials out of the barrels, but the workers must carefully regulate the force of these pumps. If they take out too much air, the drums will collapse like paper cups, because the outer pressure will exceed the inner pressure. Likewise, when adversity and hardship come into our lives, God must empower us from within or we will be unable to withstand the pressures from without. 

True, we get solid support from loved ones and Christian friends, but it is our spiritual inner man, that is strengthened with might through His Spirit (Ephesians 3:16. That is what primarily sustains us and keeps us from crumpling. The Holy Spirit works to strengthen us and renew our minds as we read the Bible, pray, fellowship and serve his people.

If we neglect Scriptural directions, seldom talk with the Lord, and stop fellowshiping with other likeminded believers, we'll grow weak and vulnerable. Then we will be unable to withstand the pressures of temptation, troubles or unbelief. Let's ask the Lord to develop our inner strength so that when life's pressures and burdens press upon us we will not cave in.

Jokes Of The Day

"Mr. Chilton," the analyst said, "I think this will be your last visit."

"Does that mean I'm cured?" he asked.

"For all practical purposes, yes," she said. "I think we can safely say that your kleptomania is now under control. You haven't stolen anything in two years, and you seem to know where the kleptomania came from."

"Well, that's terrific, Doctor. Before I go, I'd like to tell you something. Although our relationship is strictly professional, it's been one of the most rewarding of my life. I wish I could do something to repay you for helping me."

"You've paid my fee," the doctor said. "That's the only responsibility you have."

"I know," Chilton said. "But isn't there some personal favor I could do for you?"

"Well," the doctor said, "I'll tell you what. If you ever suffer a relapse, my son could use a nice portable color television."

************************************

The whole neighborhood shook from the explosion. As shopkeepers ran outside to see what happened, they spotted the pharmacist staggering out of his smoldering building.

His white uniform was now scorched black. He went up to a woman standing nearby.

"Lady!" he said. "Would you please ask your doctor to write that prescription again. And this time, PRINT IT!"

A Miracle Transformation

An Amish boy and his father were visiting a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and back together again. The boy asked his father, "What is this, Father?" The father responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is."
While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed an old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched small circles of lights w/numbers above the walls light up. They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse direction. The walls opened up again and a beautiful 24 year old woman stepped out.

The father said to his son, "Go get your Mother."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day


A Covenant Of Life

[God] saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness. 2 Peter 2:5. References from Genesis 6:1-9; 9:8-17.

Genesis 6 is actually the result of a long spiral into sin that begins with Abel's murder (Gen 4). Next we find the arrogant and evil Lamech, who is far worse than Cain. By the time we get to Genesis 6, unspeakable evil is taking place. We don't really know who the Nephilim were, but clearly normal society was breaking down and people's actions were continuously evil and self-centred with unsustainable results.

The Flood is both judgment and promise. We often think of Noah as only an ark builder, but Peter calls him a preacher of righteousness (2Peter 2:5). With perhaps a hammer in one hand, Noah was also calling for repentance. But most people refused to listen and for them, they chose the unseen flood ahead of salvation (the same today with people choosing death ahead of a signs-backed salvation). But for Noah and his family, the Flood provided a fresh start. In the midst of corruption and violence, Noah and his family alone obeyed God. Hebrews 11:7 says that Noah became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

After the Flood, Noah and his sons built an altar to the Lord (Gen 8:20). Genesis 9 records the gracious covenant that God made with Noah and future humanity, promising that never again would the flood waters cover the earth. As a covenant sign, God set His rainbow in the clouds (v13). Despite humanity's depravity, God still intended restoration and redemption for His creation.


Sometimes Life Isn't Fair 

Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. Exodus17:8.

Sometimes, people who are on fire for the Lord come down with terrible diseases or problems... this seems unfair. The Israelites also found themselves being treated unfairly. For no apparent reason, a nomadic tribe known as the Amalekites chose to attack them. They had no quarrel with these people, yet for the next several hundred years, off and on, Israel was the object of the Amalekites' hatred and harassment. 

Life isn't fair. Fortunately, we have a supreme God who is able to overrule all circumstances (Rom 8:28). Israel eventually destroyed the Amalekites. Life is not fair, but God is. Sooner or later, God will see that justice is served. It may not be as soon as we would like; it may not be in the way we expect; but God will never be unfair. David declared, "Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and a horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup" (Psa 11:6). 

Perhaps you also are experiencing unfair treatment. It might be a coworker who delights in making life difficult for you. It may be a health problem that is keeping you from reaching your fullest potential. Maybe it's an unreliable car that's been repaired time and time again, and yet it still doesn't run right. Trust God with your situation. Be patient and let Him work out a solution to your predicament. You may find life unfair, but God never is.

Closing Thought

Remember everyone has a story to tell and it is not always a happy one...look beyond the outward man to find what lies within.
