Personal Story Of The Day
...It Is New Every Morning
Likewise, we should be continually composing new songs of praise around the fresh mercies of God. Unfortunately, many of us just keep singing the same old song. We must repeatedly affirm the fundamentals of our faith, but as the psalmist tells us, the works of God's deliverance in the lives of His people are many. His works, which are more than we can count, give us reasons to express our thanks and testimonies in numerous ways (Psalm 40:5).
So we don't need to express our testimony of God's saving power in the same old way year after year? A daily experience of the blessings and mercies of God should continually fill our hearts and minds with new songs. Every day has its own needs, every year brings its own blessings... every prayer brings its own answers. The gospel story never changes... thank God for that. But our songs of praise should be ever new.
Jokes Of The Day
This 85 year old couple, having been married almost 60 years, had died in a car crash. They had been in good health the last ten years mainly due to her interest in health food, and exercise. When they reached the pearly gates, St. Peter took them to their mansion which was decked out with a beautiful kitchen and master bath suite and Jacuzzi.As they 'oohed and aahed' the old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost. 'It's free,' Peter replied, 'this is Heaven.'Next they went out back to survey the championship golf course that the home backed up to. They would have golfing privileges everyday and each week the course changed to a new one representing the great golf courses on earth. The old man asked, 'what are the green fees?'. Peter's reply, 'This is heaven, you play for free.' Next they went to the club house and saw the lavish buffet lunch with the cuisine's of the world laid out.
'How much to eat?' asked the old man.'Don't you understand yet? This is heaven, it is free!' Peter replied with some exasperation.'Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol tables?' the old man asked timidly. Peter lectured, 'That's the best part...you can eat as much as you like of whatever you like and you never get fat and you never get sick. This is Heaven.'
With that the old man went into a fit of anger, throwing down his hat and stomping on it, and shrieking wildly. Peter and his wife both tried to calm him down, asking him what was wrong. The old man looked at his wife and said, 'This is all your fault. If it weren't for your bran muffins, I could have been here ten years ago!'

A Highway Patrolman waited outside a poplar local bar, hoping for a bust. At closing time, as everyone came out, he spotted his potential quarry.
The man was so obviously inebriated that he could barely walk. He stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, looking for his car.
After trying his keys on five other cars, he finally found his own vehicle. He sat in the car a good ten minutes, as the other patrons left.
He turned his lights on, then off, wipers on, then off. He started to pull forward into the grass, then stopped. Finally, when he was the last car, he pulled out onto the road and started to drive away.
The patrolman, waiting for this, turned on his lights and pulled the man over. He administered the breathalyzer test, and to his great surprise, the man blew a 0.00. The patrolman was dumbfounded.
"This equipment must be broken!" exclaimed the patrolman.
"I doubt it," said the man, "tonight, I'm the Designated Decoy."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Keeping Your Word
What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD? 2 Samuel 21:3. References from 2 Samuel 21:1-14.
In many court cases, restitution is quite important. It's not uncommon for a criminal sentence to include prison time and compensation for the victim, which tries to make up for losses in property, time, or physical well-being. In the Old Testament, this is sometimes called 'lex talionis', or more commonly, an eye for an eye. This principle revealed in 2 Samuel 21.
After a three-year famine, David prays to the Lord and finds out that this calamity is the result of Saul's betrayal of the Gibeonites. We have to look back to Joshua 9:3-27 to learn that the Gibeonites tricked Joshua into a peace treaty so that they might be spared. Years later, Saul violated that treaty when he killed the Gibeonites (v2). Clearly God takes oaths and promises seriously, so there were consequences to Saul's actions. David's compliance with the Gibeonite request for seven of Saul's descendants might surprise us, but keep in mind that this request was consistent with an eye for an eye concept of justice.
We also see how seriously David took his own oaths. Before Jonathan died, David had promised to protect Mephibosheth (see 1 Sam 20; 2 Sam 9), which is what he did. The end of David's life was filled with a series of unhappy events, including the rebellion and death of his beloved son, Absalom. However, the last four chapters of 2 Samuel reveal David as Israel's ideal king. In these chapters we find events that show how David acted righteously, including the incident we find in today's verses.
Here we see that Saul's failure impacted the next generation, but that David's willingness to repent and to do justice, led to the reversal of the famine. David represents further fulfilment of God's promise to Abraham. Israel at this time was a greater nation, and they enjoyed a great reputation. Today's verses shows us that David's concern for justice blessed the nations... in this case, the Gibeonites.
The Burden Bearers
And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee. Exodus 18:22.
Andrew C. Davison wrote about an encounter with Dr. Albert Schweitzer at Lambarene, on the banks of the Ogowe River. It was about midday and the sun was very uncomfortable as a group walked up a hill with Dr. Schweitzer. Suddenly the doctor strode across the slope to where an African woman was struggling with a load of wood for her cooking fire.
The 85-year-old doctor took the entire burden and carried it up the hill for the relieved woman. When they reached the top of the hill, someone asked Dr. Schweitzer why he did things like that, implying that in that heat and at his age he should not. Albert Schweitzer pointed to the woman and said simply, "No one should have to carry a burden like that alone."
That was Moses' problem... he was trying to carry his burden alone. It took the wise insight of his father in law, Jethro, to point out the fact that others "will bear the burden with you." God's people were never meant to carry their burdens alone. That's why we have the privilege of prayer and fellowship. Peter urged us to cast "all your care upon Him, for He cares for you" (1Pet 5:7). Bearing burdens is also the role of the Church. Paul instructed believers, "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ" (Gal 6:2).
Are you willing to help others bear their burdens? Perhaps even today there is someone who needs you to pray with them, cook a meal or provide transportation for them. It's not hard to spot burdens that need help when you are looking for them. Our responsibility is to do whatever it takes to make a burden lighter. That's a responsibility that brings great satisfaction now and eternal reward in the future.
