Hello for today
Only 274 days to the year 2027
Scripture Of The Day
A wise [man] will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: Proverbs 1:5.Read The Bible In a Year
Judges 16-18; Luke 7:1-30.Thoughts For The Day
If I bypass prayer, my life is overlooked, if I forget to pray I forget who I am, If I feel too worthless to pray I am even less so, If I pray, heaven lights up and life fills my heart and soul... If I am shallow I will make my mind up to start praying tomorrow. The sincere are already praying right now!A good man would prefer to be defeated than to defeat injustice by evil means.
Most of the methods that Satan uses to confuse and tempt can be very beautiful and very alert. He seems to be not the enemy of God, but the uplifter and edifier of man.

Personal Story Of The Day
Blessings Or Cursings... The Choice is Ours.On the 26th of April 1986 shortly after midnight, there occurred near the Ukrainian town of Chernobyl a tremendous explosion at a huge nuclear power plant, followed by a gradual meltdown of the reactor No. 4. It was by far the worst nuclear reactor accident ever, which immediately sent a radioactive cloud across neighbouring Byelorussia, Poland and the Baltic Republics towards Scandinavia.
Within days, carried by shifting winds, radioactive mists moved beyond Soviet borders and spread across most of Europe causing anxiety, apprehension and fear.
Another kind of disaster happened to the people of Jerusalem in 586bc, and it was much worse than Chernobyl. Because of God's punishment for their sin of worshiping other gods, they were defeated by the Babylonian army (2 Kings 24:20). Led by Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonians laid siege to the Holy City and left it in ruins.
They burned the majestic temple, the palace of the king, and the people's homes. It was perhaps the worst defeat in the long, often tragic history of God's people. Their continued disobedience to Him had devastating consequences. Through it all, He urged them to repent and turn back to Him.
It's sobering to me to see how much the Lord longs for His people to live in a way that glorifies Him. I need to remind myself often of my duty to live as God wants me to live, because of how much it means to Him. Judah's worst loss can challenge us all to live in obedience to God.
Without God active in my life I have nothing... I am nothing and will be forever lost. I know it is always my choice.
Jokes Of The Day
Two guys were at a bar talking about how highly their wives thought of them.The first guy said, "My wife, she thinks so much of me that she won't let me do any work around the house. It's incredible."
The second guy says, "That's nothing. My wife thinks I'm God."
"She thinks you're God? What makes you say that?"
"Easy. Every night she places a burnt offering before me."

Returning home from work, a blonde was shocked to find her house ransacked and burglarized. She telephoned the police at once and reported the crime. The police dispatcher broadcast the call on the channels, and a K-9 unit patrolling nearby was the first to respond. As the K-9 officer approached the house with his dog on a leash, the blonde ran out on the porch, shuddered at the sight of the cop and his dog, then sat down on the steps.
Putting her face in her hands, she moaned, "I come home to find all my possessions stolen. I call the police for help, and what do they do? They send me a BLIND policeman!"

A blonde had just totaled her car in a horrific accident. Miraculously, she managed to pry herself from the wreckage without a scratch and was applying fresh lipstick when the state trooper arrived. "My God!" the trooper gasped. "Your car looks like an accordion that was stomped on by an elephant. Are you OK ma'am?" "Yes, officer, I'm just fine" the blonde chirped." Well, how in the world did this happen?" the officer asked as he surveyed the wrecked car.
"Officer, it was the strangest thing!" the blonde began. "I was driving along this road when from out of nowhere this TREE pops up in front of me. So I swerved to the right, and there was another tree!
I swerved to the left and there was ANOTHER tree! I swerved to the right and there was another tree! I swerved to the left and there was ...."
"Uh, ma'am", the officer said, cutting her off, "There isn't a tree on this road for 30 miles. That was your air freshener swinging back and forth."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Faulty Conclusions
These are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! - Job 26:14 (NIV). References from Job 25:1-26:14.
In the field of logic, careful attention is given to how a conclusion is reached. It's easy to see that if initial assumptions are wrong, then you won't arrive at a correct conclusion. It's not as easy to see that even with a correct premise, you can still end up with a wrong conclusion. For example, in the last daily post, we saw that Job correctly observed many examples of innocent suffering, but he wrongly concluded that God is unjust. Today we will see Job's friend, Bildad, also coming to a faulty conclusion.
Bildad begins his final speech by accurately observing God's power and sovereignty (25:13). And he correctly observes that humans are utterly helpless before God's power. But he goes on to describe humans as mere worms. Bildad falsely says that humans have no hope of righteousness before God and are actually insignificant before Him.
Yet humans are not disgusting maggots; rather, humans are created in the image of God and have unbelievable worth. Bildad's conclusion is wrong, but Job doesn't reach the same neat conclusions that Bildad usually does.
Job begins by once again despairing of the advice and comfort that his friends have offered. But he continues by challenging his friends' view of God. Throughout their speeches, they have tried to instruct Job in what they believe are the true ways of God. But in the second part of Job 26, we find a magnificent declaration of the awesome power of God in creation.
The God of Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar is far too small! Instead, Job looks out over the heavens and the earth, and he is amazed. There's no error in Job's logic here. Looking at the vastness of creation, one has to admit to seeing only a part, not the whole.
Viewing creation is like seeing a shadow or hearing a whisper of the totality of God. Job's view of God is beginning to expand and his knowledge can only come from spiritual revelation as some of his observations have taken thousands of years for science to confirm.
And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz. Ruth 2:1.
John Jacob Astor, one of the world's richest men, was a passenger on the ill fated maiden voyage of the Titanic. When the ship hit the iceberg and it turned out that there was a shortage of lifeboats, the multimillionaire gave up his chance for safety and went down with the ship. His body was eventually found dressed in a blue suit, with $2,500 in his pocket.
But on that fateful night, as he faced eternity, it mattered little what he possessed.
God provided a rich relative for Ruth who had more than possessions; Boaz had honour as well. The word translated "wealth" in Ruth 2:1 is often translated "might" or "valour" in the Bible. It reflects Boaz's strength of character as much as his financial portfolio. He not only had land and houses, but he also was a man of spiritual valour, a mighty man of integrity, an upright man who had placed his trust in God.
God wants all His children to be rich... but not necessarily in material possessions. When the apostle Paul reached the end of his life, all he owned was an extra cloak and some books (2 Tim 4:13).
Barnabas sold his land and gave the money to the needy (Acts 4:34-37). But these men weren't really paupers. In their poverty, they had a richness of peace and joy that many who are wealthy only dream about.
What keeps you up at night? Worry over your assets and super, or agonizing over the souls of those who are lost? What are you striving for? Material wealth that will one day be left behind, or a spiritual wealth that will last for eternity? Make the right choice and then set the right priorities.
