Personal Story Of The Day
God's Love Is Greater Than The World's Curses.
In 2 Samuel 16:5-14 we read of King David being cursed by Shimei. This happened while David was fleeing from his son Absalom, who wanted to kill him. Unlike David, we often want to silence our critics, insist on fairness, and defend ourselves. But as we grow in our awareness of God's protective love, we become less concerned with what others say about us and more willing to entrust ourselves to our Father.
Like David, we can say of each critic, 'Let him alone, and let him curse' (2 Samuel 16:11). This is humble submission to God's will. We may ask our opponents to justify their charges, or we may counter them with steadfast denial. Or, like David (v12), we can wait patiently until God vindicates us.
It is good to look beyond those who oppose us and look to the One who loves us with infinite love. It is good to be able to believe that whatever God permits is for our ultimate good...
good, though we're exposed to the curses of a Shimei;
good, though our hearts break and we shed bitter tears.
You are in God's hands, no matter what others are saying about you. He has seen your distress, and in time He'll repay you for the cursing you have received. So, trust Him and abide in His love. As we can see, the words and actions of David bring peace and Godly direction to our soul... thus let us offer the same comfort to others who are also in the grip of someone else's cursing.
Jokes Of The Day
A man calls his lawyer and asks: How much would you charge me to answer three questions?LAWYER: Four Hundred Dollars
MAN: That's a bit steep don't you think?
LAWYER: I suppose...What's you third question?
************************************
One morning a blind bunny was hopping down the bunny trail, and he tripped over a large snake and fell, KerPlop!, right on his twitchy little nose. "Oh, please excuse me!" said the bunny. "I didn't mean to trip over you, but I'm blind and couldn't see."
"That's perfectly all right," replied the snake. "To be sure, it was MY fault. I didn't mean to trip you, but I'm blind too, and I didn't see you coming. By the way, what kind of animal are you?"
"Well, I really don't know," said the bunny. "Since I'm blind, I've never seen myself. Maybe you could examine me and find out."
So the snake felt the bunny all over, and he said, "Well, you're soft, and cuddly, and you have long silky ears, and a little fluffy tail, and a dear twitchy little nose. YOU must be a BUNNY RABBIT!" And the little blind bunny was so pleased he danced with joy.
Then he said, "I can't thank you enough, but by the way, WHAT kind of animal are YOU?"
And the snake replied that he didn't know, and the bunny agreed to examine HIM, and when he was finished, the snake said, "Well, what kind of an animal am I?"
The bunny replied, "You're hard, you're cold and you're slimy...
"You must be a politician."

A Miracle Transformation
An Amish boy and his father were visiting a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and back together again. The boy asked his father, "What is this, Father?" The father responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is."
While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed an old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched small circles of lights w/numbers above the walls light up. They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse direction. The walls opened up again and a beautiful 24 year old woman stepped out.
The father said to his son, "Go get your Mother."

Riddle Of The Day
It starts out with four, if you cut one off 3 fall down and 5 remain. What is it ?Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
You stand at a fork in the road. Next to each of the two forks, there stands a guard. You know the following things: 1. One path leads to Paradise, the other to Death. From where you stand, you cannot distinguish between the two paths. Worse, once you start down a path, you cannot turn back. 2. One of the two guards always tells the truth. The other guard always lies. Unfortunately, it is impossible for you to distinguish between the two guards.You have permission to ask one guard one question to ascertain which path leads to Paradise. Remember that you do not know which guard you're asking -- the truth-teller or the liar -- and that this single question determines whether you live or die. The question is: What one question asked of one guard guarantees that you are led onto the path to Paradise, regardless of which guard you happen to ask?
"If I asked the 'other' guard, which door would he indicate?".
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Curse Of The Law
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galatians 3:14. References from Galatians 3:10-14.
If you've ever spent time around toddlers, you can understand the emphasis of Paul's argument in our verses today. As soon as you warn a two year old not to put his fingers in the fan, nothing seems more enticing to him. If you instruct her that carrots are good for her, she wants nothing to do with them.
Everything Paul has said since Galatians 2:15 regarding Jews, Gentiles, Law, faith, righteousness, justification, the Spirit, and Abraham comes into focus in this passage. His main point is simple: observing the Law never produced righteousness.
He knows this because Scripture says very clearly that those whom God deems righteous live by faith (Hab 2:4), while those who live by observing the Law are not living by faith (Lev 18:5; Gal. 3:11-12). The problem with this latter way of life is that it places one under the Laws curse since no one can actually do all that the Law commands (v10). Paul is probably thinking about the blessings and curses pronounced when the Law was given again in Deuteronomy.
Deuteronomy 28:1-14 promised blessing to Israel so long as they did all the Law said. Deuteronomy 28:15-68 recounts all the curses that would come for failure to obey.
Paul knew Israel's history. Israel had been forced into exile in the past and, even after they had returned to the Promised Land, they had lived for most of that time under the rule of foreign overlords (see Deut 28:32-66). Israel continually found itself under the curse of exile and foreign domination predicted by the Law. For Paul this could only mean one thing... those who had tried to live by the Law had inherited a curse rather than a blessing.
The promised blessing had to come from some other source. Those who are filled with the Spirit, know what this means.
Surviving The Storm
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Psalms 107:29.
Even as we go through storms in our natural lives, we go through storms in our spiritual lives. The 'winds of change' sweep over us, and we can get dissatisfied with our church. The natural mind keeps nudging you on the shoulder to 'move'. Sadly, this isn't the Holy Spirit telling you to move, but lots of times, you listen with obedience to the 'old man', thinking it's God speaking.
Turmoil does not come from the Holy Spirit! Satan likes the confusion he causes; he's watching and waiting, after each of his prickings to your carnal spirit, to see what action you are going to take.
He knows right where to attack. He pays attention to all you say, whether it be good or disapproving, about your church, the people you attend with... knowing he can attack you in the areas in which you aren't strong. We have to really watch the things we do, and the things we say. If we don't, we may find ourselves becoming really lax in our spiritual service without even realising it's happening. But we can stop the process, once we realise what's going on.
Stop, observe, and resolve to change the atmosphere around you. The 'storm' can be weathered or avoided! Start now to change things... read the Word daily, and meditate on the Word.
Encourage your friends and be an active member of the church rather than a critic. Pray, and ask God where the most vulnerable areas are in your life that need change, and then start to make changes. It's easy to 'weather the storm', when you have Christ on your side and the Spirit dwelling within you!
