Scripture Of The Day
But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.Psalms 5:11
Read The Bible In a Year
1 Chronicles 7-9 ; John 6:22-44Thoughts For The Day
"Nothing is so common-place as to wish to be remarkable.""The greatest evil which fortune can inflict on men is to endow them with small talents and great ambition."
Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.

Personal Story Of The Day
Putting It On The Line
Every time you sign, swipe or pin a credit card, you are entering into a legally binding contract. The wording of the contract states simply that you agree to pay the debt. Putting something in writing carries more weight than a verbal agreement. Imagine putting in writing and signing your commitment to God. The people of Jerusalem did that; they made a binding agreement, put it in writing and sealed it (NEM 9:38). What they agreed to, should challenge us to be so committed in the following areas:
Separation. The promise not to intermarry was not a prejudice against the people but a commitment to be separated from the world and unto God.
Sabbath. The determination not to buy and sell on the Sabbath was a return to obedience. One day in seven was to be set aside, as God had commanded.
Support. They also promised to support the house of God. This was a commitment to giving their finances, which also was a return to obedience.
Each of these commitments is significant in and of itself. But the people put their commitment in writing, signed it and sealed it before God. They were serious about these things! The next time you are making a commitment to God (as a point of interest and faith), make it a contract. Write it out, date it and sign it. Then keep it in your Bible so that periodically you will review it to see how well you are keeping your commitment.
Jokes Of The Day

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Responding To The Obvious
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! Psalm 8:9 References from Psalm 8.
Today's psalm is a familiar one, perhaps so familiar you didn't realize it's a prayer addressed directly to the Lord. This prayer exalts God's 'excellency', a term that can also be translated noble, magnificent, or glorious. David perceived God's majesty in His creation, especially humanity, creation's crown jewel (v35; Heb 2:68). David recognised God's power and artistry displayed in the natural world, he marvelled that He used His own fingers to set the stars in place.
Even more astounding than the galaxies of stars is what God has done with and for humanity. He has been mindful of us, that is, remembered us in the sense of loving and caring for us. He created us, crowned us by making us in His image, and appointed us as rulers or stewards over the rest of the created world (Gen. 1:28-30). As amazed as he is by the splendour of nature, David was even more amazed by the relational love God has shown and proved towards us.
Even children must be able to see and respond such an obvious truth, a fact that heaps coals on the heads of those who oppose God (v2; Matt. 21:16; Rom. 1:19-20).
Good Directions
In the past, those who were lost stopped at a petrol station and asked for directions. Hopefully the person who directed you knew what he was talking about. Technology, however, is changing all that. Our internal car software or mobile phones give us real time instructions of where to go, how to avoid traffic or accidents and even recently, have include warnings when dangerous weather is ahead of us.
Isaiah tells us, however, that there is a guidance system that needs no extra equipment, data or cash. All it takes is a heart sensitive to the still, small voice of God. God has always been concerned with the direction in which mankind is headed. When He inquired of Adam in the Garden of Eden, "Where are you?" it was because He knew that Adam had veered off course. When the Israelites left the land of Egypt, He gave them a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night so that they would not lose their way.
Isaiah confessed that the people of his day were "like sheep [that] have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way" (Isa 53:6). But God did not give up on them. Instead He offered to restore them and give them the guidance they needed. If you need God's guidance today, make sure your heart is right with Him. Then claim His promise. If you will listen to the voice of His Spirit, He will guide you through every twist and turn of your life's journey. He will tell you the way. Will you walk in it?
