Personal Story Of The Day
When You Need Someone Who Listens And CaresIt was dawn, and I was painfully aware of being only a few weeks into widowhood. After another restless night, I felt too weary to pray for myself. "Lord," I sighed, "I need someone to pray for me right now." Almost instantly God's Spirit comforted my distraught mind with the words of Hebrews 7:25, reminding me that Jesus was listening to me that very moment.
With a wave of relief, I praised Him for being my lifelong friend. I will never forget how that bleak morning became gold-tinged with hope. Since then, I have drawn courage and strength countless times from my faithful Friend (from a testimony in the early 2000's).
Scottish minister Robert Murray McCheyne (1813-1843) testified, "If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me!" Robert believed in the power of God but didn't understand the mechanism like our sister above.

Jesus doesn't pray for us, he actually answers prayer for us... he has much more power and authority than we sometimes realise. We too can draw courage and strength from our friend and brother Jesus. He is our priestly representative before God. He has taken on the new role as intercessor (priest) and has the power to make changes (king). He has the power and authority granted to him through God to act on God's behalf.
Are difficult circumstances creating trouble or fear in your life? By all means, ask others to pray for you. But don't forget that you can count on Jesus himself. By faith, think of him as hearing and responding around the clock for you. Not only is God closer than your hand and feet... he dwells within you.

Jokes Of The Day
Bob was very proud of his Texas heritage and lived there until he died. When he arrived in Heaven, St. Peter gave him the deluxe tour.Behind the first door was a beautiful tropical beach. Bob poked his head in to look, but quickly announced that Galveston had nicer beaches.
Behind the second door was the most mind-boggling amusement park ever imagined. But Bob said he was sure that Dallas had more impressive parks.
After a dozen more such responses, an annoyed St. Peter pulled him to the edge of a nearby cliff and shouted, "You see that enormous lake of fire? Have you got anything like that in Texas?"
"Well no," Bob replies sheepishly, "But I do know a guy in Houston who can put it out."

A certain lady invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to her six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say grace?"
"I wouldn't know what to say," the little girl replied.
"Just say what you hear Mommy say," the mother answered.
The little girl bowed her head and said: "Dear Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor thy father and thy mother," she asked "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat one little boy answered, "Thou shall not kill."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Power Of God Is Always AmazingThe account of the calming of the sea is so familiar that it can be read almost without thinking. The disciples are in the boat when a threatening storm hits. They wake the sleeping Jesus, wondering if He cares. He silences the wind and all is calm... except the hearts of the disciples. Jesus asked, "Why are you so afraid?". Their fear makes sense to us! The fear of drowning was real. What does not make sense is the next reaction.
After what they had just experienced, the Bible says the disciples were terrified. Instead of going from fear to faith, they went from fear to fear. Mark 4:40-41 'And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?'
There are two parts to explaining this. First, the disciples went from fear to awe. The Greek words used here are different. They went from fright to reverential awe. Second, they were so accustomed to seeing Jesus in His humanity that the display of His spiritual powers astounded them. Typically, Christians today think first of the deity of Jesus as being Godly, yet powerless.
Divine displays do not astound many as they did His disciples. They should, though. When they first spoke in tongues, everyone gathered to fathom what this great miracle was. Peter summarised the day of Pentecost by explaining that the promised infilling of the Holy Spirit had begun. It was available to everyone until the return of Christ. This great sign from God is now meaningless to the greater population.
Do not let something which you are familiar with, lose sight of the awesomeness of Jesus Christ. Then in times of doubt or fear, He will help you move from fear to faith.
Everlasting Love
The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee. Jeremiah 31:3.
In his book 'Make Your Life Worthwhile', Richard Armstrong shares the story of a man in Wales who sought to win the affection of a certain woman for 42 years before she finally said yes. Year after year the persistent but rather shy man slipped a weekly love letter under his neighbour's door. But she continually refused to speak and mend the aught that had parted them decades before.
After writing 2,184 love letters without ever getting a spoken or written answer, the single-hearted old man eventually summoned up enough courage to present himself in person. He knocked on the door of the reluctant lady and asked for her hand. To his delight and surprise, she accepted.
One has to wonder at God's attitude toward Israel. Over the centuries, He has pursued this obstinate group of people with very little encouragement. Certainly there have been individuals like Abraham, Moses and David who walked with Him, but for the most part His efforts have been rebuffed. Hardly would one generation wake up to their need for the Lord before the next would thumb their noses at Him again.
Why would God persist in this lopsided relationship? Jeremiah says it's because of God's everlasting love. Even today, Christians often fall far short of the righteousness that ought to characterize our lives. We become entangled with the things of the world; we fall into immorality; we bicker and fight among ourselves. Yet when we repent and seek God, He always receives us back.
Why? Because He loves us with an everlasting love. If you feel you've failed God once too often, if you're ready to toss in the towel, remember God's everlasting love. It's not a love just for the days you do everything right. It's not a love only for those people who have it all together. It's an everlasting love... and it's for you. Never give up on God because He never gives up on you.
Facts Of The Day
- If an object has no molecules, the concept of temperature is meaningless. That's why it's technically incorrect to speak of the "cold of outer space" space has no temperature, and is known as a "temperature sink," meaning it drains heat out of things.
- The Japanese word for chef, itamae, literally means "in front of the cutting board."
