Intro

Enthusiasm - the sustaining power of all great actions.
Only 209 days to the year 2027
Scripture Of The Day
Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. Psalms 32:22.Read The Bible In a Year
2 Chronicles 25-27; John 16.Thoughts For The Day
Just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
When one door of life closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

Personal Story Of The Day
Good As God
It is common in Christian growth to struggle with attitudes and actions over which we seem to have little control.
Some understand that it is our worldly nature asserting its rights. Paul called it "sin that dwelleth in me" (Romans 7:17). It has made us guilty of much, and capable of much more. That's why our heart sometimes condemns us, even though we are good Christians.
God knows all about the forces that drive us. He also knows the intent of our heart... that we want to love others and desire to do right. He knows our shame when we fail and is quick to forgive when we confess (1John 1:9). This wonderful truth sets our heart at rest when we feel condemned, for God is greater than our heart, and knows all things (3:20).
He has provided a perfect covering for our sins and failings!!
Jokes Of The Day
A juggler, driving to his next performance, is stopped by the police. "What are these matches and lighter fluid doing in your car?" asks the cop."I'm a juggler and I juggle flaming torches in my act."
"Oh yeah?" says the doubtful cop. "Lets see you do it." The juggler gets out and starts juggling the blazing torches masterfully.
A couple driving by slows down to watch. "Wow," says the driver to his wife. "I'm glad I quit drinking. Look at the test they're giving now!"

Two youth group members were sitting and talking. Their conversation drifted from fasting to cooking. "I got a cookbook once," said the first, "but I could never do anything with it."
"Too much fancy cooking in it, eh?" asked the second.
"You said it. Every one of the recipes began the same way: 'Take a clean dish and...'

Bill Gates suddenly dies and finds himself face to face with God. God stood over Bill Gates and said, "Well Bill, I'm really confused on this one. It's a tough decision; I'm not sure whether to send you to Heaven or Hell. After all, you helped society enormously by putting a computer in almost every home in America, yet you also created that ghastly Windows '95 among other indiscretions. I believe I'll do something I've never done before; I'll let you decide where you want to go."
Bill pushed up his glasses, looked up at God and replied, "Could you briefly explain the difference between the two?" Looking slightly puzzled, God said, "Better yet, why don't I let you visit both places briefly, then you can make your decision. Which do you choose to see first, Heaven or Hell?"
Bill played with his pocket protector for a moment, then looked back at God and said, "I think I'll try Hell first." So, with a flash of lightning and a cloud of smoke, Bill Gates went to Hell.
When he materialized in Hell, Bill looked around. It was a beautiful and clean place, a bit warm, with sandy beaches and tall mountains, clear skies, pristine water, and beautiful women frolicking about. A smile came across Bill's face as he took in a deep breath of the clean air. "This is great," he thought, "if this is Hell, I can't wait to see heaven."
Within seconds of his thought, another flash of lightning and a cloud of smoke appeared, and Bill was off to Heaven. Heaven was a place high above the clouds, where angels were drifting about playing their harps and singing in a beautiful chorus. It was a very nice place, Bill thought, but not as enticing as Hell.
Bill looked up, cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled for God and Bill Gates was sent to Hell for eternity.
Time passed, and God decided to check on the late billionaire to see how he was progressing in Hell. When he got there, he found Bill Gates shackled to a wall in a dark cave amid bone thin men and tongues of fire, being burned and tortured by demons.
"So, how is everything going?" God asked.
Bill responded with a crackling voice filled with anguish and disappointment, "This is awful! It's nothing like the Hell I visited the first time!! I can't believe this is happening! What happened to the other place....with the beaches and the mountains and the beautiful women?
"That was the demo," replied God.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
God Is More Than A Probability
The LORD God is my strength, ...and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. Habakkuk 3:19. References from Habakkuk 3:1-19.
Physicist Stephen Unwin recently wrote a book called The Probability of God. 'I don't consider anything to be understood until numbers have been applied', he said. I have made a career of understanding and analyzing uncertainty and probabilities. Therefore, it seemed obvious to apply these methods to the ultimate uncertainty... whether God exists'. Using something called Bayes Theorem as well as other equations, he reviewed evidence from observation and experience in an attempt to assign a mathematically rigorous number to the probability of the existence of a personal God.
He concluded that the probability of God's existence was 67 percent.
People wrestle with their spiritual doubts in many different ways... the prophet Habakkuk took his questions directly to God. Habakkuk ministered around the same time as Jeremiah. In his book, written mostly as a dialogue, he asked and argued about the reality and justice of Gods ways. Especially regarding His punishment of Israel through conquest and exile... and God answered. This prophecy encouraged the faith of the godly remnant of Israel.
Today's verses are a prayer or psalm that was Habakkuk's concluding response to God's answers. His central petition was for God to do what He had done in the past, that is, to show His power and love in the lives of His people in order to make His name known in present times: revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy (v2). His poetic recounting of the Exodus in verses 3 through 15 described God's unstoppable power exercised on Israel's behalf... it was a faith boosting recollection of what God could do.
These memories made the prophets heart pound with excitement, even though he would have to wait for God's judgment on Babylon (v16).
Call Out
And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, Exodus 15:25.
On a gloomy day in 1857, a man in New York City, Jeremiah Lanthier, scanned the morning newspaper. He was distressed to read that the depression gripping the nation was causing fear and panic among the people. Factories were closing and thousands were unemployed. Although Lanthier didn't know what to do, he knew who did! That day he sent a note to all his business acquaintances, telling them that at noon a prayer meeting would be held in his office.
On the first day no one came. All alone he prayed fervently that God would bring about a great change in him and in America. The second day a few friends joined him. A short time later similar gatherings were started around the city. Then like wildfire, the movement spread to all parts of the country.
Some historians say that this effort of united prayer and faith was an integral part of the improvement in the economy that soon followed. There have been many times in war and peace when nations have been forced into prayer, there were no other options. The testimonies speak for themselves. As we saw a few days ago, Moses also faced a situation for which he had no answers, but he knew who did.
Fervently he cried out to God and God showed him what to do. It was not something he would have dreamed up on his own; it was better. The waters of Marah were bitter, and so were God's people about the quality of the water.
The Israelites grumbled about many little things, but this was life threatening. All Moses could do was pray to God and trust His answer, regardless of how unorthodox that answer may be. Life itself is full of bitterness... cast in the tree of life (JesusChrist), and immediately life is sweet and palatable. The same goes for the Word of God... without Jesus Christ the gospel has no power.
