Personal Story Of The Day
Sending The Real MessageMost of us are not amazed to see someone walking along talking on a mobile phone.... that is the way of this world.... for the last 20 years or so. Not long ago, if we were visiting someone and needed to make a phone call, we naturally assume that our host would have a house phone. Today we take phones, Tablets, computers, Apple watches, texts and e-mails for granted. It's hard to think of a time when these things didn't exist.
Some people might even have forgotten the name of the individual who launched the age of telecommunications by inventing the telegraph, Samuel F. B. Morse. Even more people may not realize that the first message communicated electronically was a verse from Scripture!
After a series of set-backs, both personally and professionally, Morse stumbled upon the idea of using electromagnetism to transmit human communication. At first many people laughed. At last he was able to secure some money from Congress to build a telegraph line between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. And the first message that Morse sent, in Morse Code, was the following: 'What hath God wrought!' (Num 23:23).
Morse chose this verse because he wanted all the glory for his new invention to go to God. Throughout his life, Morse seemed to have been directed by the truths contained in Proverbs 3. Centuries before Morse was born, King Solomon urged, 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding' (v5). If one would acknowledge the Lord in everything, God would provide direction in life. The truth of this was well-illustrated by the content of Samuel Morse's first telegraph!
Proverbs 3 continues with an exhortation to 'look to the Lord, not oneself, for wisdom' (v7). In so doing, one can experience fullness of life as only the Lord can provide. Trusting the Lord doesn't mean that our lives will be carefree. Samuel Morses life, especially early on, contained a fair number of difficult trials, such as losing his father and young wife. But trusting in the Lord does mean that we will be directed in life according to His plan in a way that brings glory to Him and nourishment to our own lives (v8).
Let these actual observations encourage each one of us to do the same... to attribute all honour to God in all that we do, even if it's something less dramatic than testing an invention that would change the world. The power of the Holy Ghost sends messages to the heart... but it needs people to preach the true gospel of salvation.

Jokes Of The Day
The ninety-five year old woman at the nursing home received a visit from one of her fellow church members. 'How are you feeling Mary?' the visitor asked. 'Oh,' said the lady, 'I'm just worried sick!' 'What are you worried about, dear?' her friend asked. 'You look like you're in good health. They are taking care of you, aren't they?' 'Yes, they are taking very good care of me.' 'Are you in any pain?' she asked. 'No, I have never had a pain in my life.' 'Well, what are you worried about?' her friend asked again. The lady leaned back in her rocking chair and slowly explained her major worry. 'Every close friend I ever had has already died and gone on to heaven. I'm afraid they're all wondering where I went.'************************************
According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington recently was faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.
Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the next day, the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night.
To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

Watching her mother as she tried on her new fur coat, the young daughter said unhappily, "Mom, do you realize some poor dumb beast suffered so you could have that?"
The woman shot her an angry look, "How dare you talk about your father like that!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Exhibiting Temperance (Self-Control)But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, temperance (self-control). Galatians 5:22-23.
Self-control is the last of the nine fruits of the Spirit. It is like a belt that holds all the other fruits together. If there is one thing that puts our character to the test and reveals who we really are, not who we think we are, it is self-control, self-discipline and temperance.
How many times have we not fallen in this area? Yet self-discipline is a fruit that can grow in our lives. It flourishes in an atmosphere where visions and strong motivation prevail and where people make solid stands for the Lord. There will be a strong motivation to walk in the Lord where the prophetic word is clear and where scriptural truths are put above self-interest.
When the motivation is strong, self-control becomes an obvious tool for better serving God. Self-control is not a goal in itself but a means to better serve God.
Self-control is only relevant when we are on our way somewhere. Joseph was on his way to Pharaoh's throne, to see his dream fulfilled, and therefore, there was no room for Potiphar's wife. He fled. Self-control saved his life, but because of it, he faced scorn and derision. Self-control enabled him to fulfill the dream God had given him, and from his position of authority, he was able to save many nations from starvation during the years of famine.

Words Of Wisdom
I have found that in times when I lack wisdom, God's word answers my questions, and gives me direction. Not only does the Word of God have the answer for me... it has them for everyone living throughout the world. The Bible is universal in its appeal because it isn’t just a book. It is God’s living word. 'For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.' Hebrews 4:12.
God has put a spiritual conscience in us, thus every time we read the bible, the words are triggering different parts of our sensibilities. Our emotional response is meant to motivate us... good leads us to more goodness and pain has us seeking relief (repentance).
All of these steps and daily blessings have a purpose, many of which we are not even aware.
'So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:
it shall not return unto me void,
but it shall accomplish that which I please,
and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it'. Isaiah 55:11
The word of God has prospered humanity from the earliest writings. It was applicable in the 1st century in the reformation, during the industrial revolution, during both world wars and it identifies the soon return of Christ, not because its well written, but because it is alive.
Facts Of The Day

- The elephant is the largest animal on land. But it is much smaller than the blue whale.
