Personal Story Of The Day

God's Way Works Best

I read a humorous story about a man who strolled out of a hardware store with a smile on his face and a brand-new chainsaw in his hands. He was told it could cut down five big gum trees in an hour. Twenty-four hours later, however, his smile was gone. Frustrated, he was back at the store complaining that the saw would never cut five trees in an hour. "It took me all day to cut down five trees," he said.

Puzzled, the store owner stepped outside with the saw, gave the cord a swift pull, and fired up the steel-toothed beast. Its deafening roar sent the customer stumbling to get away. "What's that noise?" he gasped.

It's ridiculous for someone to try to cut down trees with a chainsaw without starting it up. But that's how foolish we are as Christians when we try to serve God in our own strength. We get frustrated and spiritually exhausted when we try to work things out on our own terms and according to our own schedule. We fail to draw on the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us (Romans 8:9-11). Yet His presence can become real and powerful when we rely on Him. 

Lord, we are so quick to forget the obvious. Renew us today in Your strength and in Your ways.

Jokes Of The Day

A Minister was walking down the street when he came upon a group of about a dozen boys, all of them between 10 and 12 years of age.

The group had surrounded a dog. Concerned lest the boys were hurting the dog, he went over and asked "What are you doing with that dog?"

One of the boys replied, "This dog is just an old neighborhood stray. We all want him, but only one of us can take him home. So we've decided that whichever one of us can tell the biggest lie will get to keep the dog."

Of course, the reverend was taken aback. "You boys shouldn't be having a contest telling lies!" he exclaimed. He then launched into a ten minute sermon against lying, beginning, "Don't you boys know it's a sin to lie," and ending with, "Why, when I was your age, I never told a lie."

There was dead silence for about a minute. Just as the reverend was beginning to think he'd gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh and said, "All right, give him the dog."
************************************

Here is the LOST CHAPTER IN GENESIS....
Adam was walking around the garden of Eden feeling very lonely, so God asked him,
"What is wrong with you?"
Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to.
God said that He was going to make Adam a companion and that it would be a woman.

He said,
"This person will gather food for you, cook for you, and when you discover clothing she'll wash it for you. She will always agree with every decision you make. She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. She will not nag you and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will never have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it.

Adam asked God, "What will a woman like this cost?"
God replied, "An arm and a leg."
Then Adam asked, "What can I get for a rib?"
The rest is history..
************************************

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


When You Get It Right

Fear not, neither be thou dismayed... Joshua 8:1. References from Joshua 8:1-29.

The poet Maya Angelou penned the perfect words for Joshua in the wake of tragic defeat and judgment: History, despite its regretted pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again. It would have been easy for Joshua to be discouraged or afraid after the setback at Ai and the judgment of Achan, but God doesn't give Joshua that opportunity. God directs him boldly to prepare for the next battle. 

Somewhat ironically, after Achan's strict punishment for his greedy disobedience, God permits Israel to keep the treasure and livestock of Ai. This act of grace punctuates the foolishness of Achan... and anyone who seeks to steal from God to serve their own desires (Ananias and Sapphire suffered the same fate in the New Testament). 

There's no need to deviate from your spiritual growth for the possessions of this life; God will provide. God also provided a plan. He gave Joshua the idea for an ambush, and unlike the previous attack, this plan was expertly executed and divinely supported. The ambush was not only a cunning tactic and sound protective measure against an attack from Bethel (v9) but also a stroke of calculated retribution for the false confidence of the Ai army.

 The details can be confusing, as verse 3 seems to indicate a 30,000 man ambush while verse 12 puts the number at 5,000. Some believe these are two different ambush battalions, but other Hebrew scholars think the word thousand in verse 3 should actually be translated chief. 

In other words, Joshua may have put 30 commanders in charge of the ambush, leading a total of 5,000 men. After drawing out the Ai forces, Joshua held out his javelin as a signal to begin the ambush attack. He continued to hold his javelin forward until the entire city had been destroyed.

For Joshua, it was a symbol of obedience and courage, as he never changed his stance throughout the entire battle. If the Israelite army had wavered in their belief that God was with them, Joshua's example and the Lord's faithfulness removed all doubt.


A Heart That Knows God 

And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart. Jeremiah 24:7. 

God promised that His people would someday receive a new heart. In place of their old, sin clogged spiritual thinking, they would receive a new heart that would enable them to love the Lord and follow Him. This could not be accomplished by "reworking" the heart they already had. The children of Israel needed a heart transplant and only God could do it.

This promise was fulfilled through the Lord Jesus Christ. When we receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit, whether we are a Jew or a Gentile, God doesn't simply patch up the weak spots or plaster over the cracks. He doesn't simply remodel our old lives. He gives us new lives. He makes us into completely new creatures in Christ (2 Cor5:17). And that includes a new spiritual heart. What the old heart couldn't do, the new heart is able to accomplish with joy. 

Through the work of God's Spirit in your new heart, you can know and obey the Lord in a way that never could have been achieved with the old. Praise God for your new heart. Rejoice that now you can not only seek the Lord with all your heart, but you can obey Him with all your heart as well. Only God can perform a spiritual heart transplant... and only you can take advantage of it.
