God's grace to every one of you
Only 64 days to the year 2027
Scripture Of The Day
But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations. Psalms 102:12.Read The Bible In a Year
Jeremiah 18-19; 2 Timothy 3.Thoughts For The Day
Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" (Matthew 5:8). Yet the apostle Paul spoke of God as One "whom no man has seen or can see" (1 Timothy 6:15-16). I have often thought about this seeming contradiction. How can we reconcile our Lord's statement with the words of Paul? Think about it.Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.
Beware of the man who won't be bothered with details.
Motivation For The Day
The Old Testament Law required specific actions on the part of God¹s people to help the less fortunate, the new covenant of faith requires much more of believers--sacrificial giving, helping others not out of obligation, but out of the abundance of God¹s grace and love, He gives to those who are faithful to Him. God, the Giver of all good gifts, provides abundantly for those who give and help others. 'And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work' (2Cor 9:8).On This Day

Personal Story Of The Day
A Very Good QuestionWho owns you? When I ask myself that question, my first impulse is to dismiss it as nonsensical. With Paul, who enjoyed the rights and freedoms of a Roman citizen, I too can boast that I am free... at least politically. Olav Olavson was a free citizen of Sweden, but he found himself hard pressed for money. So in desperation he sold his body for medical research to the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm in 1910.
A year later, he inherited a fortune, so he tried to buy himself back. But the Institute refused to sell him his rights to his own body, and in a lawsuit they retained possession of it. The Institute even collected damages from him because he had two teeth extracted without permission.
All of us are slaves to sin and are spiritually dead... unless we have been born again (that is why it is called... being born again.) A new birth that gives us a fresh start without the old baggage. We can be set free from the penalty and power of sin (and how we rejoice that we have been set free), by the indwelling power and cleansing of the Holy Spirit working in us.

We experience spiritual freedom as we receive His gift of forgiveness and then offer ourselves as willing servants to God. 'But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life'. Romans 6:22
What a blessed paradox! As God's servants (a willing commitment to service of God's choosing) we enjoy a life of true freedom, peace, and hope... the children of the inheritance... God's true friends.

Jokes Of The Day
God looks over the millions of people and says 'Welcome to Heaven. I want the women to go with Saint Peter, and the men to form two lines. Make one line of the men that dominated their women on earth, and the other of men who were dominated by their women.'There's much movement, but eventually the women are gone and there are two lines. The line of the men that were dominated is 100 miles long. The line of men that dominated women has only one man.
God gets angry and says, 'You men should be ashamed of yourselves. I created you in my image and you were all dominated by your mates. Look at the only one of my sons that stood up and made me proud. Learn from him!'
He turns to the man and says, 'Tell them, my son. How did you manage to be the only one on that line?'
The man says, 'I don't know, my wife told me to stand here.'

Sometimes life seems like a dream, especially when I look down and see that I forgot to put on my pants.

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer. When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level. Stuff that will make them scream, cry, and howl in pain and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.

Riddle Of The Day

What three things go up and down, but never move?
Answer: Stairs, temperature, and the stock market.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Never AloneIn today's world of inexpensive, high-tech spying devices, total privacy has become a rare and precious thing. A special agent for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation says, "Don't assume that you are alone, not ever." Video cameras are used to monitor people in public places like banks and shopping malls. In addition, tiny wireless video cameras that sell for less than $100 are being used by ordinary people for less than honourable purposes.
It might seem odd, therefore, to hear someone complain about a complete lack of privacy, until we realize that the One watching his every move was God. After stating that God knew each thought, word, and action before it happened, David said, "Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain it" (Psalm 139:6).
No place was beyond the presence, guidance, and protection of God (v7-10). The deepest darkness became flooded with light because God was there (v11-12). From the womb to the tomb, every day of David's life was known to his Creator (v13-16). And the number of times God thought about him could not be counted (v17-18).
We are completely known and never alone in our relationship with God. What a comfort!
Lots Of Good Advice
The word of God has universal appeal, and it can direct you as it has directed me,
It directs us in our job
It directs us in our finances
It directs us in our Character
It directs us in our lifestyle
It will direct you in your relationships and it directs us to Walk In The Lord…
“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives generously to all” James 1:5.
Lastly
I have found that when I was not certain what was right, God’s word helped me to both understand and do what is right. The truth of the word of God doesn’t stand in my life as a rule book of do’s and don’ts. The Bible never says and you shall know the rules and by them you shall be bound. It says, “you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free”. By allowing God's word to guide me into truth it allows me to be free.
The world is filled with delusion and false ideas all trying to bring us under bondage. But a working knowledge of God's word brings us real freedom.
