Personal Story Of The Day
Overcoming Is Exciting
My experience of this "reality" has given me a new understanding of the scene described in Revelation 4. In the past, when I considered the four living creatures seated around God's throne who keep repeating the same few words, I thought, What a boring existence! I don't think that anymore.
Is it boring to say the same words over and over? Not when you're in the presence of the one you love. Not when you're doing exactly what you were designed to do. Like the four creatures, we were designed to glorify God. Our lives will never be boring if we're focusing our attention on Him and fulfilling that purpose.
I think about the scenes they have witnessed with their many eyes (v.8). I consider the view they have from their position around God's throne (v.6). I think of how amazed they are at God's wise and loving involvement with wayward earthlings. Then I think: What better response could there be? What else is there to say but, "Holy, holy, holy"?
Jokes Of The Day
Four men are in the hospital waiting room because their wives are having babies. A nurse goes up to the first guy and says, "Congratulations! You're the father of twins."
"That's odd," answers the man. "I work for the Minnesota Twins!"
A nurse says to the second guy, "Congratulations! You're the father of triplets!"
"That's weird," answers the second man. "I work for the 3M company!"
A nurse tells the third man, "Congratulations! You're the father of quadruplets!"
"That's strange," he answers. "I work for the Four Seasons hotel!"
The last man is groaning and banging his head against the wall. "What's wrong?" the others ask.
"I work for 7 Up!"

The second responded "Yes, but for that you would need real teeth."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
It's A Spiritual Revelation.
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 1 Corinthians 1:19. References from 1Corinthians 1:18-2:16.
In the American baseball fantasy Shoeless Joe, by W. P. Kinsella, Ray followed the command of a mysterious voice to turn his cornfield into a baseball field. His act of faith brought results, as baseball players from the past appeared out of thin air to play there. Ray considered it an amazing accomplishment, but his neighbours were sure he was crazy... they couldn't see the players! A marvellous revelation to Ray was viewed as complete nonsense by everyone else because they couldn't see the entire picture.
The same can be said of Ecclesiastes... a limited outlook makes the world look meaningless. Today's verses give us the picture of foolishness to everyone with an 'under the sun' mentality, and that picture is Christ crucified (1:23). Here we learn that the approach of Ecclesiastes is similar to Greek thought at the time, both seeking meaning through wisdom while the Jews looked for miraculous signs from God (1:22). But what miracle, what wisdom is there in the perfect Son of God being slaughtered?
Paul goes on to describe God's paradoxical way of defeating wisdom with foolishness, strength with weakness (1:27, 28). In fact, the church is filled with less than impressive people whom God used for His own purposes (1:26, 29).
Paul is a perfect example of God's strength shining through weakness (2:15). And although Ecclesiastes found no promise of anything new, Paul makes it clear that God has something in store for us that has never been seen, heard, or even imagined (2:9). Only His Spirit has revealed it to us (v10), and of course people without the Spirit can't know it (2:11).
It's a spiritual revelation, and nothing under the sun can enable anyone to understand it (2:13). Solomon may have asked for wisdom from God, and he certainly got it in abundance. But not even his wisdom could produce the spiritual communion we enjoy... having the Holy Spirit actually living in us. No man's wisdom, not even Solomon's, compares to the unparalleled gift we have received... the mind of Christ (2:16).
Begin Each Day With Praises and Thanksgiving.
Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Psalms 67:3.
Our children and grandchildren are precious to us. When they do something of which we approve, we always want to give them a sense of approval. This is praising them for the good things they do and it builds their confidence.
We as parents, should always let our children know that we love them through praise often. Even when we have to engage in discipline, we need to be careful to praise them for the abundance of good things, so they understand the love is still there.
The Lord is always doing things for us, even when we don't stop to recognize those things. He is always there for us, no matter how isolated we feel. We need only call on Him, and He is there. We should daily give God our praises. This shows our admiration for Him. When we give Him praise, we are worshipping and exalting His Holy name!
We are opening the door for blessing!
