Personal Story Of The Day
The Answer Is Good
Mary received advance notice from the angel Gabriel that she would conceive the Son of God by the power of the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:30-35). But Joseph, her fiancé seems to have received no word from God at that time.
Later, when he learned of Mary's pregnancy and pondered how to end their engagement without publicly disgracing her, "an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, 'Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.'' (Matthew 1:20).
Such is the mystery of God's guidance. Mary was told beforehand and Joseph had to struggle with what must have seemed a crushing blow in the first instance.
But no matter when God's word came to them, Mary and Joseph both faithfully agreed and obeyed. We cannot predict all of what the Lord wants us to do nor how He will direct our lives, but we can be confident that He will guide us. And like Mary and Joseph, we must be ready to follow His leading.
Jokes Of The Day
Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were swimming around in the sea - one called Justin and the other called Christian.The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that patrolled the area. Finally, one day during a tropical storm, Justin said to Christian "I'm bored and frustrated at being a prawn, I wish I was a shark - then I wouldn't have any worries about being eaten..."
As Justin had his mind firmly on becoming a predator, a flash of lightning hit the water and, lo and behold, Justin turned into a shark. Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid of being eaten by his old mate.
Time went on and Justin found himself becoming bored and lonely as a shark. All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close to them. Justin didn't realize that his new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight. During the next tropical storm, Justin figured that the same lightning force could change him back into a prawn. Lightning never strikes twice except in stories like these, but while he was thinking of being a prawn again, a flash of lightning struck the water next to Justin and, lo and behold, he turned back into a prawn.
With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes, Justin swam back to his friends and bought them all a cocktail. Looking around the gathering at the reef, he searched for his old pal. "Where's Christian?" he asked.
"He's at home, distraught that his best friend changed sides to the enemy and became a shark" came the reply.
Eager to put things right again and end the mutual pain and torture, he set off to Christian's house. As he opened the coral gate, the memories came flooding back. He banged on the door and shouted, "It's me, Justin, your old friend. Come out and see me again".
Christian replied, "No way, man. You'll eat me. You're a shark, the enemy. I will not be tricked".
Justin cried back "No I'm not. That was the old me. I've changed....... I'm a prawn again Christian!!!"
************************************
One day God was looking down at Earth and saw all of the evil that was going on. He decided to send an angel down to Earth to check it out.
So he called one of His best angels and sent the angel to Earth for a time. When she returned she told God, yes it is bad on Earth, 95% is bad and 5% is good.
Well, he thought for a moment and said maybe I had better send down a second angel to get another point of view. So God called another angel and sent her to Earth for a time too.
When the angel returned she went to God and told him yes, the Earth was in decline, 95% was bad and 5% was good.
God said this was NOT good.
So He decided to E-mail the 5% that were good and He wanted to encourage them, give them a little something to help them keep going.
Do you know what that E-mail said?

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Without God... There Is No MeaningFor who knoweth what is good for man in this life, Ecclesiastes 6:12... References from Ecclesiastes 6.
Shakespeare's Hamlet... had issues. In quite possibly the most famous quote in any play, he asks the question, 'To be, or not to be?' He had reached the point that many people come to when he wondered if it was better to suffer the pains of life or to end them altogether. But for Hamlet, the problem was the unknown.
The uncertainty of what dreams may come during the sleep of death was enough to stop him from ending his life. But the inability to bear the suffering that life brought kept Hamlet from enjoying one second of his existence. Hamlet, in effect, was fighting the same inner struggle as Ecclesiastes in today's verses.
Verse 12 is the key verse in this chapter, because it essentially asks the question, What's the point of living, and what comfort can you find when you don't know what comes next? The chapter starts out with an about face from the point we left off. The previous verses discuss enjoying a worry-free life. But if God doesn't enable a man to enjoy life, look out (v2)! It's meaningless, but it's worse than that. The passage makes the case that it would be better not to have lived at all than to live a long, productive life without joy.
Next comes a string of observations on the subject. First, we have a sobering revelation about human motivation that brings to mind Jesus' powerful statement in John 6:35: 'I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry.' But without Christ, our appetites are never satisfied. Verse 8 raises an interesting question about the worth of wisdom, conjuring the ironic picture of a homeless man with excellent manners.
Verse 9 speaks of longing for things that are distant from us by time or space. For example, during a cold winter, Victorians often wish they could fly to the tropics or turn the calendar forward to summer. Such longing though, is meaningless. Then we take a step back and view how powerless we are against God's plans. No one can contend with the sovereign power of God (v10).
The more we discuss life without Him, the less meaningful it all seems (v11).
Need of a Fix?
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28.
Electronic devices can be addictive, especially email. Each morning, the first thing I do, I'm off to turn on the computer and download my mail to see what I have. It's like medicine; you can't do without it! If you don't get your 'fix', you just are not yourself all day. Sure, I can take a few days off without going crazy, but, the first thing I do, after returning home, is guess what?
Mobile phones have made this situation even worse... messages are coming in twenty-four hours a day.
Sadly, there are others who need a daily fix, drugs. They have to have a fix, or they go crazy. Life isn't worth living, or so they think, without a FIX. Actually, the fix is ruining their lives, but they just aren't able to comprehend it as yet. I know one that is able to give us the FIX that we all need. He can change our outlook on life, fill our days with wonder and excitement.
He can fulfil the dreams of our lives. He is able to give us a peace that no email or drugs can give. He can satisfy our longing to be accepted, to be approved, and to be loved. He IS LOVE. HE is GOD Almighty.
He is the one to whom we should run when we feel like we need a FIX. His FIX lasts, will never leave us feeling upset, rundown, or loveless. Email or text fixes will make you feel good for a few hours, and then you have the need to check it again. Drugs will give you a high for a time, but when you come down off that high, then you are angry with the world again, and in need of another fix.
Why not go to God for the 'fix of a lifetime'? He will change your life at the very moment you receive/walk in his Spirit. Or, if you are in need of help, He will help you quicker than any man, and satisfy you more than any person can. Without GOD, you are always in need of some kind of FIX.
