Scripture Of The Day
Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day 1 Kings 8:61.Read The Bible In a Year
Psalms 143-145; 1 Corinthians 14:21-40.Thoughts For The Day
If you raise children with critisism they mearn to be critical.God wants us to bite off more than we can chew. Remember David's faithful acceptance of the Giant's challenge? He chose to see what God had said about the nation rather than fear for his mortal life.
The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.

Personal Story Of The Day
Spiritual Reality
Sometimes you have to wonder what in the world is going on in the heads of some people. Jesus was again predicting His death, noting that it would involve betrayal, condemnation, mocking, flogging and a crucifixion... but it would end in resurrection.
Then the mother of James and John came to Jesus with a request: "Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom".
When word got out about her request, the other disciples were indignant with the brothers. This was an amazing misdirection of focus. Jesus was talking about a humiliating and tortuous death, and they were positioning themselves for prestige! Jesus corrected their focus when He said that He Himself did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
Jesus did not live for Himself but for others. We are not to live for ourselves either. Pride often tempts us to be self-serving. Pride affects our focus. Serving God is the most humbling activity anyone can achieve.
Jokes Of The Day
"Eye witnesses were on the scene in minutes."************************************
A man was brought to Mercy Hospital and taken in for coronary surgery. The operation went well and, as the groggy man regained consciousness, he was reassured by a Sister of Mercy, who was waiting by his bed.
"Mr. Smith, you're going to be just fine," said the nun, gently patting his hand. "We do need to know, however, how you intend to pay for your stay here. Are you covered by insurance?"
"No, I'm not," the man whispered hoarsely.
"Can you pay in cash?" persisted the nun.
"I'm afraid I cannot, Sister."
"Well, do you have any close relatives?" the nun essayed.
"Just my sister in New Mexico," he volunteered. "But she's a humble spinster nun."
"Oh, I must correct you, Mr. Smith. Nuns are not 'spinsters.' They are married to God."
"Wonderful," said Smith. "In that case, please send the bill to my brother-in-law."
************************************
The photographer for a national magazine was assigned to get photos of a great forest fire. Smoke at the scene was too thick to get any good shots, so he frantically called his home office to hire a plane.
"It will be waiting for you at the airport!" he was assured by his editor.
As soon as he got to the small, rural airport, sure enough, a plane was warming up near the runway. He jumped in with his equipment and yelled, "Let's go! Let's go!" The pilot swung the plane into the wind and soon they were in the air.
"Fly over the north side of the fire," said the photographer, "and make three or four low level passes."
"Why?" asked the pilot.
"Because I'm going to take pictures! I'm a photographer, and photographers take pictures!" said the photographer with great exasperation and impatience.
After a long pause the pilot said, "You mean you're not the instructor?"

Riddle Of The Day
This thing runs but cannot walk, sometimes sings but never talks. Lacks arms, has hands; lacks a head but has a face. What is it?Answer to Yesterday's Riddle
Where will you find roads without cars, forests without trees and cities without houses?
On a map.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20. References from Mark 13:1-35.
This is the incentive given to Christ's followers as they approach the end of the age. Jesus warned His disciples that as the end of the age draws near, the difficulties facing the church will increase. False teaching, natural disasters, and wars will all mark what Jesus refers to as the beginning of birth pains. This metaphor implies that such troubles will only increase as the day of Christ's return draws near.
According to Jesus, all of this was to be foreshadowed by the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem. This was fulfilled in 70 A.D. when the Roman general Titus attacked Jerusalem in an effort to subdue a revolt. During the campaign against Jerusalem soldiers set fire to the temple chambers and the sanctuary. The entire temple area was soon burning fiercely.
This tragedy prefigured even greater destruction to come shortly before Christ's return. Although there has been much disagreement among Christians about the exact timing of the events described in Christ's return, Jesus' ultimate message is very clear. Since no one knows the exact day and time when He will return, those of us who belong to Christ should live with a sense of daily expectation.
We must not be discouraged by the trials we face but should make every effort to live by the gospel while there is still time.
Comfort In the Whirlwind
Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind. Job 38:1.
Violent storms are one of the most destructive forces that nature can regularly unleash upon mankind. But the whirlwind that Job encountered was more than a product of nature. It was a divine messenger from the Lord. God used one of nature's most awesome expressions of power to confront Job with his own frailty and weakness. The whirlwind brought Job face to face with the things he was still to learn about God.
Obviously his friends had misunderstood the nature of God as well, but Job was not entirely innocent either. After he experienced the violence of this whirling windstorm, he was brought to a fresh realisation that God was far greater than he could comprehend.
At the end of the book, when his ignorance revealed, Job confessed, "I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know" (Job 42:3). In the midst of our distress, it is common to find fault with God. We think, Surely God must have made a mistake for this to be happening to me. But such thinking is foolishness.
With our limited understanding of what is truly happening both on earth and in heaven, we are foolish to think that we are in a position to judge God's actions. We are dealing with issues that are far beyond our understanding.
In fact, even if God were to explain them, we wouldn't be able to fully grasp them. God is not committed to give you answers, but He is committed to bring you comfort. Help yourself of what God offers... His presence in the midst of tribulation... and leave the rest up to someone far wiser than yourself. Answers don't always comfort, but God does.
