Personal Story Of The Day
The Power Within Salvation
One of the sad trends today is spirituality without religion. In a general and widespread way, the interest in being spiritual has grown. People want spirituality, to be known as a spiritual person, to have the benefits of a spiritual life. They just don 't want to be religious. To be religious is to be perceived as enslaved to a system of rules, regulations, rights and wrongs. In 2 Timothy 2:15, Paul describes the opposite to a religious person.
Man is at the centre of what he describes. He is narcissistic, greedy, proud, looking out for number one. There are no restraints for the non religious person. The list of characteristics of this type of person ends with an intriguing phrase: 'having a form of godliness but denying its power' (or the need to have the power evident in their lives). This is the spiritual, but not religious, person.
He has an outward appearance that looks spiritual, but the reality of a spiritual life is missing. Lots of talk, but no need for God's power... just the 'feel good' emotion of self determination. He refuses the power of God in his life or refuses to use the power that God has given him. The warning Paul gives is very direct... Have nothing to do with them (v5). Don 't get pulled into the trap.
That lifestyle may look appealing, but it is to be avoided. What God wants is godliness that comes from living and relying on the miracle working powers of his spirit... not to have people relying on their watered down spirituality. It is not much different than having the tabernacle in the wilderness without the pillar of cloud and fire, but still claiming the Lord is present!

After a ship sank in the ocean, three men ended up stranded in a lifeboat. They floated around for days without food or water. One afternoon a bottle floated up to the boat. The men grabbed the bottle and when they pulled the cork out of the bottle, a genie appeared.
"I'll grant each of you a single wish," said the genie. "I wish I was home," said the first man. Then, poof! He disappeared.
"I wish I was home, too," said the second man. Poof! He disappeared.
"The third man looked around. "Gee, I'm kind of lonely," he said. "I wish my friends were here with me."

Riddle Of The Day
Romeo and Juliet are found dead on the floor in a bedroom. When they were discovered, there were pieces of glass and some water on the floor. The only furniture in the room is a shelf and a bed. The house in is a remote location, away from everything except for the nearby railway track. What caused the death of Romeo and Juliet?Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
Because cigars cannot be entirely smoked, a hobo who collects cigar butts can make a cigar to smoke out of every 5 butts that he finds. Today, he has collected 25 cigar butts. How many cigars will he be able to smoke?
6, he makes 5 originals from the 25 butts he found, and after he smokes them he has 5 butts left for another cigar.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. Genesis 18:10 References from Genesis 18:1-15.
Abraham practiced hospitality. Three mysterious strangers appeared at his tent door one day. He welcomed them and bowed low, showing appropriate cultural politeness and respect. He washed their feet (meeting the same practical need as Jesus famously did during his last week). He served them an excellent meal and stood nearby, ready to serve as their waiter if needed.
As it turns out, two of these strangers were angels on their way to visit Lot, before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The other represented the Lord Himself, and many theologians believe it was possibly a 'theophany', a physical manifestation of God the Father (v22). This means that it was God Himself who again promised Abraham a son, or rather, reminded him of the promise.
As Abraham had done in the previous chapter, an eavesdropping Sarah laughed in disbelief at this news. God saw her hidden thoughts and actions and emphasized the truthfulness of His promise. Now Isaac's name would always remind both of them of their doubtful laughter!
Another key point here comes as a rhetorical question: 'Is anything too hard for the Lord?' (v14; Jer. 32:17-27). Similarly, Jesus said, With God all things are possible (Matt 19:26). All things! Too often we don't really believe this. We need instead to step out boldly, wholly trusting God to be all that He really is.
Supernatural Provision
But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, "My father!" And he said, "Here I am, my son." Then he said, "Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" And Abraham said, "My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering." And the two of them went together. Genesis 22:7-8.
A young girl was taking a long journey, and in the course of her travels her train had to cross a number of rivers. Each time the train approached water, her doubts were awakened. She didn't understand how such raging torrents could safely be crossed. As they drew near the river, however, a bridge invariably appeared and provided the way over. Finally the little girl leaned back with a sigh of relief and said with confidence, "Somebody has put bridges for us all the way!"
Abraham showed the same confidence as he faced the possibility of sacrificing his only son. Never had his faith been more severely tested. Yet he could confidently reply to Isaac, "God will supply the lamb." Abraham didn't know how God was going to do it, but he believed without reservation that God would. That same confidence can be yours and mine. We often don't know how God will provide. He may supply in a way that we would not have chosen. That is not for us to say. Our assurance is that God will meet our needs, however He chooses.
The apostle Paul reminds us, "And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus" (Phil 4:19).
God may meet your need for healing by miraculously restoring your body. Or, He may choose to give you the strength to endure an illness with courage. God may relieve your financial situation through a generous gift. Then again, He may provide just enough to get you through each month. How He meets your need is evidence of His sovereignty. That He meets your need is evidence of His grace. It's not necessary that we know how, as long as we know Him. Our need is simply an opportunity for God 's provision.
