Personal Story Of The Day
God Can Hear Us ThinkingDid you ever think of the prayer time as a miracle? That thought came to me during one of the prayer times in a prayer and fast. I heard many people talking to God at the same time. It sounded like a jumble of words. But that's the miracle. God was hearing each prayer... along with millions of others being lifted to Him around the world in many different languages.
For those of us who reach frustration levels when two children are talking to us at the same time, it is indeed a miracle that God can hear so many of His children simultaneously.
Consider the story of Hezekiah's Passover celebration. He called for the Israelites to join him in Jerusalem for thanksgiving and prayer (2Chronicles 30:1). Multitudes came for what turned into a 2 weeklong fellowship and prayer meeting. Huge numbers of people rejoiced and praised God at the same time (v25). As the religious leaders prayed, "their voice was heard; and their prayer came up to heaven" (v27). The miracle goes on.
Today, throughout the world, millions of people are praying to God. Let's rejoice in knowing that He hears each prayer, whether in tongues or in our common language, whatever that might be. He even knows the intents of the heart of all people at the same moment, every second of the day. God is only limited by our willingness to trust and call upon him.
Jokes Of The Day
When Robinson stretched out on the psychiatrist's couch, he was clearly in a bad state. "Doctor," he pleaded, voice quavering and hands twitching, "you've got to help me. I really think I'm losing my mind. I have no memory of what happened to me a year ago, nor even of a few weeks back. I can't even recall yesterday with any clarity. I can't cope with daily life - in fact, I think I'm going insane.""Keep calm, Mr. Robinson," soothed the shrink. "I'm sure I'll be able to help you. Now tell me, how long have you had this problem?"
Robinson looked up blankly. "What problem?"
************************************
A guy goes into a restaurant and lounge, his shirt open at the collar, but is stopped by a bouncer who tells him he must wear a necktie to get in.
So the guy goes out to his car and he looks around for a tie and discovers that he just doesn't have one. He sees a set of jumper cables in his trunk. In desperation he ties these around his neck, manages to fashion a fairly acceptable looking knot and lets the ends dangle free.
He goes back to the restaurant and the bouncer suspiciously looks him over for a few moments and then says, "Well, OK, I guess you can come in - just don't start anything."
************************************
The young couple invited their aged parson for Sunday dinner.
While they were in the kitchen preparing the meal, the minister asked their son what they were having.
"Goat," the little boy replied.
"Goat?" replied the startled man of the cloth, "Are you sure about that?"
"Yep," said the youngster. "I heard Pa say to Ma, 'Might aswell have the old goat for dinner today as any other day.'"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
There Is A benefit After All.
I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee. Job 42:2. References from Job 42:1-17.
The belief that illness or serious losses are acts of God's judgment is common. As we have seen, Job's three friends were convinced of this. But the book of Job shows clearly that God can use suffering to bring people to a deeper understanding of Himself. Had Job not suffered, neither he nor his friends would have come to a truer understanding of the Lord.
After his long cross examination, Job finally recognizes his own humility and the Lord's greatness. Job's statement in verse 6 reflects an ancient Israelite way of expressing sincere humility ('wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes'). Most importantly, Job experiences restoration with the Lord beyond all that he could imagine.
Job had never truly forsaken God, despite his friends’ unjust claims. Now they must face the Lord and repent of the cruel things they said about the Lord and Job. What supreme irony that these comforters would now have to seek Job as an intercessor before the Lord (v8)!
But the Lord's rejection of his three friends’ words also forces Job to forgive them fully, as he must.
Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it. Ruth 4:5-6.
Myopia is an eye condition in which visual images come into focus in front of the retina, causing distant objects to be blurred. We commonly call this being nearsighted. We can see things close-up but not far away. People also can be nearsighted in their understanding of God's plan for their life.
The relative who was closest to Naomi and Ruth turned down the opportunity to redeem Naomi's land and marry Ruth because he feared it might jeopardise his own inheritance. He could see clearly what he had; however, he failed to discern what might be in the future. He chose to protect his current possessions, and thus missed the opportunity to be the grandfather of a king and the ancestor of the Messiah. Consequently, he passed off the scene without even amention of his name.
Many individuals today do the same. They pour everything they have into this life... all their time, talent, energy and money. Yet they fail to invest in eternity, as Jesus instructed us to do (Matt 6:19-20). They clearly discern what they have, but they fail to see that there's something even more in store for them. They focus on the present and neglect the future. They give up all the wonders of heaven for the temporary security of earthly treasures. And when the winds of history pass, even their names are forgotten.
Don't suffer from spiritual myopia. As a good steward, take care of what God entrusts to you today. But don't let today's possessions blind you to eternity's possibilities. What lies ahead is worth far more than anything you hold in your hands today. The best is yet to come. Don't let what is good rob you of what is best.
