from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship

Good morning all......

Only 111 days to the year 2027

Scripture Of The Day

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. Psalms 143:8.

Read The Bible In a Year

Proverbs 13-15; 2 Corinthians 5.

Thoughts For The Day

You should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it.

Maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

May we never let the things we can't have, or don't have, or shouldn't have, spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have.

Motivation For The Day

Excellence can be attained if you Care more than others think is wise, Risk more than others think is safe, Dream more than others think is practical, and Expect more than others think is possible.

Personal Story Of The Day

Now Is The Right Time

When it comes to evangelism, we are sometimes like a cautious farmer who keeps his eye on the weather, looking for the perfect day to plant his crops. The season passes and he sows nothing. The opportunity is gone; the harvest is lost (Ecclesiastes 11:4). We hesitate and wonder, "Is this person ready to listen to the gospel? Is this the time to speak?" You can never tell what's going on in the depths of another person's heart.

Some may be dwelling in darkness yet longing for someone to lead them into the light. The Ethiopian eunuch in his royal chariot seemed to have it all together (Acts 8:27). He enjoyed prestige, wealth, and power, yet inwardly he was empty and searching.

He was reading Isaiah's promise of the suffering Saviour and trying to come to grips with his words. Right at that moment, Philip took the opportunity to tell the eunuch about Jesus (v35).

I knew a great evangelist many years ago... I asked him once how he knew they were ready to hear the gospel. "It's easy," he replied. "I ask them." So we must stop worrying about the wind and the clouds and get on with it... scattering the seed wherever we go, regardless of the weather.

You just never know.

Jokes Of The Day

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE !

You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the
Building! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband . .

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.

The second floor sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.

The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead good looking and help with the housework.

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
************************************

While working at a Pizza Parlor I observed a man ordering a small
pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he
would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He though about it for some time
before responding. "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry
enough to eat 6 !
************************************

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to
the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never
showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a
trained professional and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me,
"has your plane arrived yet? ".

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

A Mission Of Peace

...The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land. Joshua 1:13. References from Joshua 1:10-18; Hebrews 4:1-16.

Some people still remember Amelia Earhart (early female pilot) for her tragic disappearance, but the strength and resolve that powered her pioneering efforts in flight should not be ignored. Her words about courage fit well with today's verses: Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. Joshua needed to be courageous in order to usher Israel into peace and rest. That peace and rest, though, would come after a time of battle. God told Abraham that all nations of the world would be blessed by Abraham's descendants (Gen 22:18).

We should keep that in mind when reading the book of Joshua. Israel's purpose was not some self-initiated world domination, it was the fulfilment of God's promise. Joshua laid out God's plan to the leaders of Israel, and he clearly stated that it was God who would be giving the land to them (v11). And this military campaign was much bigger than a land war. This was one step of God's ultimate plan to bring His people to Himself.

He was giving them rest (v13, 15). Hebrews paints the larger picture for us... and we're in it. Verse 8 points out that the rest Joshua leads Israel to find, is incomplete. We have a rest to enter, as Israel did. And the issues are still faith and obedience. Like Joshua, we can be filled with strength and courage because we know that the Lord our God is with and in us, and we can approach His throne to receive grace and mercy when we need it (v16). Just as God rested after the creation of the world, we await the time when all our striving and efforts, every last task, is completely finished.

Between the lines of this passage lies an important truth for us: we haven't finished working for God. But we have certainly entered into God's rest. As we think about the purpose of Israel, we see how God reaches out to humanity. We'll read chapters that describe God's judgment against those who oppose Him, but the ultimate purpose of those battles was to bring God's people into the land of promise and bring blessings to every nation.

Even through this, God has always been gracious and slow to anger, and His work in the book of Joshua is no exception.

One Day It Will Be Too Late!

"The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved!" Jeremiah 8:20.

The ancient city of Pompeii is less than a mile from the foot of Mount Vesuvius. In the summer of A.D. 79, Vesuvius erupted suddenly and with great violence. Hot ash, stones and cinders rained down on the city and the air became filled with poisonous gases. Most of the people escaped, but not all. Among the approximately 200 remains that have been found was one of a woman with her jewels in her hands. Apparently, she had spent her time gathering her treasures instead of fleeing from the doomed city. Because of her delay, she lost both her jewels and her life.

As Jeremiah contemplated his own people, he came to a similar conclusion. God had sent warning after warning to Israel through various prophets. Even at the eleventh hour, the Lord raised up Jeremiah to call the people to repentance. But they refused to heed him. Their response was to plot against God's prophet (Jer 18:18) and eventually to throw him into a mud filled cistern (38:6).

As Jeremiah saw it, the people had reached a point of no return. They had squandered their time in fruitless pursuits and, in their delay, they had missed the opportunity to experience God's salvation. The Babylonian army was at their doorstep and judgment was at hand.

God is gracious and gives us many warnings. His desire is always for repentance rather than judgment. But such warnings must be heeded before it's too late. One day... you don't know when... death will close the door to your opportunities to serve God. Hebrews 9:27 says, "It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment." The Bible is very clear: there are no second chances; there is only judgment.

Listen to God today. Respond to His call without delay. When the time for repentance is past, it's gone forever. Thus, we who are wise and walk in the Spirit; we are warning one and all of those things soon to come.

Closing Thought

whose love abounds when other's fail? John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
