Scripture Of The Day
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.Psalms 37:4
Read The Bible In a Year
Joshua 1-3 ; Mark 16Thoughts For The Day
There is nothing but God's grace (covenant). We walk upon it; we breathe it; we live and die by it; it makes the nails and axles of the universe.Formerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine for magic.
Integrity is staying true to your inner voice and having the stillness to actually be able to listen to it.

Personal Story Of The Day
It was a dramatic story of forgiveness. In December of 2000, on the Battleship Missouri Memorial, a dozen American survivors of the attack on Pearl Harbour embraced three of the Japanese pilots who had flown attacking planes. Many thousands of their countrymen had needlessly died that day, but the time had come to move on. That moving scene is only a dim reflection of what God's grace does for us. Although we are sinful, we can be brought into a relationship with God through the anointing of the Spirit by a simple faith in Jesus Christ.
Because He died on the cross in our place, God blots out the record of our sins and makes us right with Him through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit. The Lord in His amazing love has not only forgiven us but has also given to us "the ministry of reconciliation" (2 Corinthians 5:18). We have the honour of sharing the good news with others so that they too can be at peace with God. And when we are right with God, we are also to do what we can to live at peace with everyone (Romans 12:18)... to bring people to salvation.
We are also survivors of a much greater and far more serious battle... we have been asked by God to convert his enemies and gain eternal life for them... to get them to change sides and fight the battle with us. I sometimes think that we are so unaware of our successes, that we limit our faith based on our ignorance. Any action that leads to the conversion, saving or strengthening of another, is a marvellous victory in the sight of God.
I thank God for the person who witnessed to me and the thousands of occasions I have been uplifted and edified, even motivated, by the actions of the people who were once the enemies of God.
Jokes Of The Day
A shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW appeared in a cloud of dust. The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the shepherd, "If I tell you how many sheep you have,will you give me one?"
The shepherd looked at the yuppie, then at his grazing flock, and calmly answered, "Okay."
The yuppie parked his car, grabbed his handheld GPS, whipped out his Pocket PC, surfed to NASA's web site, entered in the GPS data, brought up a recent ultra-high-resolution satellite photo, transferred it to Photoshop and exported it to an image processing facility in Hamburg. Within seconds, his Blackberry had an email notifying him that his image was processed and its data stored in a SQL database on a networked server nearby. He downloaded the data into an DBC-connected Excel spreadsheet, ran a statistical analysis, transferred the results to Word, outlined it, massaged the outline, then OLEd it into a short PowerPoint presentation, which he then showed to the shepherd. It read, simply, "1,586." "That's right. Well, I guess you can have a sheep."
The young man selected an animal and loaded it into the BMW's trunk. The shepherd then asked him, "If I can name your profession, can I have my sheep back?" The man said, "Okay, sure. Why not?" Without a moment's hesitation, the shepherd said, "You're a consultant." "That's right!"
said the yuppie, "but how did you know?"
"Easy. You showed up here even though nobody called you; you expected to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked; and, you don't know a damned thing about my business. Now give back my dog!"

A car was involved in an accident in a street. As expected a large crowd gathered. A newspaper reporter, anxious to get his story could not get near the car.
Being a clever sort, he started shouting loudly, "Let me through! Let me through! I am the son of the victim."
The crowd made way for him.
Lying in front of the car was a donkey.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
A Bit More Than Cause And Effect
...they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. Job 4:8 References from Job 4:1-21.
You have probably heard people say, 'Well, they only got what they deserved!' or 'What goes around, comes around!' Common sense suggests that there's a cause and effect relationship between people's actions and the events that occur in their life. To some extent this is true... after all, we read in Galatians 6:7, A man reaps what he sows. The problem is that this principle cannot be applied blindly to every person or to every situation. This is exactly what's wrong with the approach of the first of Job's friends, Eliphaz.
For him, it's clear why Job suffered: Job must have sinned. In the ancient world, most people believed that suffering was due to sin, in the same way that material abundance confirmed that a person was good. So Job's affliction would have been seen as God's judgment. This way of thinking is sometimes called retribution theology. Eliphaz's words show why the first two chapters of Job stressed his righteous character and his blameless conduct. As we noted, this prologue showed that Job's suffering was not the result of sin. Moreover, as readers, we have been allowed to overhear the heavenly council, so we know that there are divine purposes at work, although Job and his friends have not been given the same insight.
Throughout the book, each of the friends' speeches is followed by a reply from Job. This contrasts conventional wisdom and true wisdom. Each of the three friends will present common, but wrong, views on suffering. Job, on the other hand, will reveal a deeper view of God and the mysteries of suffering. Job is not always right, but he is faithful and offers many helpful insights.
One Step At A Time
And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel. 2 Kings 2:1-2
A man was driving along a highway when he suddenly ran into a stretch of dense fog. While considering how he might stay safely on the road, he noticed a reflector light along the shoulder of the road catching the glare of his headlights. Slowly he inched himself up to the first reflector only to discover that a second reflector light was now showing in the distance. When he reached the second, he found a third shining up ahead.
Slowly, light by light, he worked his way along the highway until he drove out of the fog. As Elijah travelled toward his ultimate meeting with the Lord, he found that God led him in the same way. First, he was instructed to leave Gilgal and go to Bethel. From Bethel he was led to Jericho (v4); from Jericho he was led to the Jordan River (v6) and on into the wilderness (v11). God did not reveal the whole journey beforehand, but led the prophet step by step along the way.
So often, we Christians want to know what's ahead for us and our loved ones. We get anxious because God doesn't reveal His plans for next week or next month or next year. But God is much more interested in developing our trust than He is in revealing the future. His light is always sufficient for the next step, but seldom for the entire trip. Let God lead you one step at a time. Trust that as He has given you enough light to take the next step, He will continue to provide for each step along the way.
Be content with God's provision for today and let the future rest with Him. God won't light your second step until you have taken the first one.
Facts Of The Day
- The cooling center slows the calorie burning process, and dilates, or opens, the blood vessels in the skin to release the excess heat, and the fluid known as perspiration. The release of this fluid cleanses the body, as it pours through our pores, which consist of millions of tiny openings in the skin. Perspiration emerges on the surface of the skin in the form of tiny, microscopic droplets, which quickly evaporate, and cool the body to its normal temperature.
- Our bodies use approximately 2,500 calories of our daily intake of calorie-laden food to fuel the body. This process, known as oxidation, burns the calories, producing enough heat to bring 25 litres of water to the boiling point. Obviously, our bodies cannot tolerate this heat, which causes the temperature of the blood to rise dramatically, and the cooling center to springs into action.
