Personal Story Of The Day
The Wayside, Rocks, Thistles and The BestA friend of actress and comedienne Gracie Allen once sent a small, live alligator to her as a joke. Not knowing what to do with it, Gracie put it in the bathtub and then left for an appointment. When she returned home, she found a note from her maid. "Dear Miss Allen: Sorry, but I have quit. I don't work in houses where there is an alligator. I would have told you this when I started, but I never thought it would come up."
Some people who say they'll serve Christ are quick to leave when trouble comes. In Jesus' parable of the soils, He pictured the various responses that people have to the gospel. For example, a person may seem to accept God's truth, but he stumbles in his faith when difficulties arise (Matthew 13:20-21).
Such troubles test the sincerity of one's faith and expose the weakness of one's commitment to God's ways.
But someone may say, "Shouldn't our Lord tell us up front what is involved in following Him?" He does. He appeals to us with one invitation: "Trust Me." If we let trouble or disillusionment shake our faith, we are breaking the spirit of the trust that brought us to salvation in the first place.
Jokes Of The Day
The Pope, Billy Graham, and Oral Roberts were in a three-way plane crash over the Pacific Ocean. They all died and went to heaven together."Oh, this is terrible," exclaims St. Peter, "I know you guys think we summoned you here, but this is just one of those coincidences that happen. Since we weren't expecting you, your quarters just aren't ready... We can't take you in and we can't send you back...."
Then he got an idea. He picked up the phone, "Lucifer, this is Pete. Hey, I got these three guys up here. They're ours, but we weren't expecting them, and we gotta fix the place up for 'em. I was hoping you could put them up for a while. It'll only be a couple of days. What d'ya say?"
Reluctantly, the Devil agreed.
However, two days later, St. Peter got a call.
"Pete, Lu. Hey, you gotta come get these three clowns.
This Pope fellow is forgiving everybody,
the Graham guy is saving everybody,
and that Oral Roberts has raised enough money to buy air conditioning."
************************************
The pope and an attorney arrived at the Pearly Gates at just the same time, and St. Peter showed them to their quarters.
First the pope was taken to his room, a small, spartan cubicle with a chair, a desk, and a Bible.
Then the lawyer was shown to his room, a massive duplex with women, wine, and a huge waterbed.
"Excuse me, "said the lawyer to St. Peter, "there must be some mistake. Shouldn't the pope have this room?"
St. Peter shook his head:
"No. We have dozens of popes in heaven, but you're our first attorney."
************************************
An independent woman started her own business. She was shrewd and diligent, so business kept coming in. Pretty soon she realized she needed an in-house counsel, and so she began interviewing young lawyers.
"As I'm sure you can understand," she started off with one of the first applicants, "in a business like this, our personal integrity must be beyond question." She leaned forward. "Mr. Peterson, are you an 'honest' lawyer?"
"Honest?" replied the job prospect. "Let me tell you something about honest. Why, I'm so honest that my dad lent me fifteen thousand dollars for my education and I paid back every penny the minute I tried my very first case."
"Impressive. And what sort of case was that?"
He squirmed in his seat and admitted, "My dad sued me for the money."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The poor need the most care.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Matthew 7:18. References from James 2:14-19.
James has not quite finished driving home the importance of care for the lowly and poor in the church. He has already said that the failure to do so characterizes self-deluding religion (1:27). Now he says that this failure indicates a false or dead faith (v17). He is reiterating and illustrating his earlier point (1:27): that God is pleased by religious faith that expresses itself not just in words but also in deeds that care for the poor and needy.
He particularly emphasizes care for those in the church, using the term brother or sister to note that these particular needy are fellow believers (v15). They should be the special focus of our generosity and mercy. Good words and intentions alone do not measure up to God's standard for the practice of true faith.
If we truly want to live wisely, we need to pay careful attention to the list of things that James tells us to avoid. These include judging with evil thoughts (favouritism), opposing God's judgments, and failing to show mercy.
If these things characterize us, we have a worthless religion and dead faith. We can never enter into the fullness of our heavenly Fathers good gifts (1:17) when we are not following His desires.
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another. Daniel 5:56.
Man is plagued with many fears, some of them odd. 'Mysophobia' is fear of dirt. 'Hydrophobia' is fear of water. 'Nyctophobia' is fear of darkness. 'Acrophobia' is fear of high places. 'Xenophobia' is fear of strangers. 'Claustrophobia' is fear of confined places. 'Triskaidekaphobia' is fear of the number 13. Unfortunately, many people who have learned to fear things that they probably shouldn't have, never learned to fear God. Belshazzar was one of those people.
Whatever other fears he may have had, a fear of the God of Israel was not one of them. In the midst of a great feast, the king, a grandson of Nebuchadnezzar, ordered the gold and silver vessels taken from the temple in Jerusalem to be put on display. With utter disregard for the sacred nature of these utensils, and with no concern for God, Belshazzar profaned them by using them in his drunken revelry.
It was not until a hand appeared and wrote on the palace wall of God's judgment that this arrogant king began to fear. But by then it was too late. His fate was sealed.
Many people today treat God flippantly. They use His name in vain. They trample His standards of righteousness underfoot. They flout their sin in His face. They treat God's people with disdain and contempt. Yet, they show no fear. Only when it's too late for many of them will they realize what fools they've been. Be assured that one day everyone will fear God.
The choice is yours. Choose wisely.
