Happiness and blessings to all...
Only 349 days to the year 2027
Scripture Of The Day
Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Psalms 1:1.Read The Bible In a Year
Genesis 41-42; Matthew 12:1-23.Thoughts For The Day
Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love and something to hope for.The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase: If you pursue happiness you'll never find it.
Beware of the man who won't be bothered with details.

Personal Story Of The Day
It's Not God Who Changes.
It's tragic to witness someone starting out well in life and then finishing poorly. That's the life story of Uzziah. He had been appointed king at the young age of 16. Despite being so young, we read that he did what was right in the sight of the Lord... He sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God; and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper. (2 Chronicles 26:4-5).
Uzziah's fame spread and his army grew stronger (v8). He had 2,600 chief officers and 307,500 soldiers who helped him defeat his enemies (v12-13). Sadly, we then read, when he was strong his heart was lifted up, to his destruction (v16).
Uzziah had failed to remember the One who had given him success and those who had given Godly counsel. He sinned against the Lord when he burned incense in the temple, and God struck him with leprosy (v16-19). He remained a leper until the day of his death. (v21).
To finish well, we need to avoid having a heart that is "lifted up... proud." Let's remind ourselves often of the warning in Proverbs 16:18, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." And let's keep seeking the Lord, obeying Him, and thanking Him for all He has done.
Jokes Of The Day
This story is about a mountain climber. He is going up some very treacherous rocks to get to the top. On the way up the hook that his rope was in gave way and he went tumbling toward the bottom of this high cliff at a high rate of speed, obviously to be dashed to pieces in the rocks at the bottom. As he was racing by the side of the cliff he saw a bush and he grabbed it. He held firm. He was in quite a predicament, dangling in mid-air, hanging on to a bush. He started to cry for help. He started to ask God for help because he knew there wasn't anyone else around. He began to shout, 'God, help me. God, help me.' He was in the predicament for quite a little while when finally he heard a voice,'Yes my child, I will help you.'
What a relief he felt in his heart. Then the voice said,
'Do you have faith in me?'
'Oh, do I have faith in you! Why I have faith in no one else. You are the one, God. You know that.'
'Good. Turn loose of the bush.'
'Anybody else up there?'

A teenager brings her new boyfriend home to meet her parents. They’re appalled by his haircut, his tattoos, his piercings.
Later, the girl’s mom says, “Dear, he doesn’t seem to be a very nice boy.”
“Oh, please, Mom!” says the daughter. “If he wasn’t nice, would he be doing 500 hours of community service?”
Sometimes women are overly suspicious of their husbands.
When Adam stayed out very late for a few nights, Eve became upset.
"You're running around with other women," she charged.
"You're being unreasonable," Adam responded. "You're the only woman on earth."
The quarrel continued until Adam fell asleep, only to be awakened by someone
poking him in the chest.
It was Eve. "What do you think you're doing?" Adam demanded.
"Counting your ribs," said Eve.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Believe In Jesus And The Spirit... Not The Law.
Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Galatians 3:2. References from Galatians 3:1-5.
When arguing a case in the legal system, great stress lies on the proof that both sides can present to back up their arguments. In criminal cases, the burden of proof lies with the prosecution, who must demonstrate beyond reasonable doubt that the accused person actually committed the crime. The next move in Paul's argument is a critical one. He first draws the Galatians attention back to the crucifixion of Jesus (v1).
In keeping with the point we saw him arguing yesterday, Paul reminds his readers that Jesus did die. Implicitly he is pushing them to reflect on the point he has just made in 2:11-21. Their own profession of faith in the gospel involves this confession about Jesus. Once they recall that they do accept the fact that Jesus died on a cross, they ought then to accept the rest of Paul's argument... that those in Christ have died to the Law.
However, in a series of rhetorical questions, he bolsters his case by urging the Galatians to consider how it was that they came to enjoy the presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives. The answer he expects is clear... the Galatians, as Gentiles, received the gift of the Spirit simply by believing and acting on the gospel message.
Paul's real point is clear in his list of questions. He wants his converts to consider the fact that as Gentiles they received the Spirit by obeying Christ. Well before it ever occurred to them that they had not adopted the practices of the Jewish Law, they had been blessed with the full benefits of life in Christ.
If they possess the Spirit, and Paul is stating that they do, they are thus justified and have received the fullness of God's promised salvation. Their sins have been taken care of and they have been freed from the present evil age. What then could they possibly gain by adopting the practices of the Law?
Fire Up The Soul!
Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Satan is always on the lookout for weak saints! If he's not after you, then it might pay to find out why. There is an old saying that is well worth bringing to mind... 'if the devil isn't after you, he already has you.' If you are finding yourself being pressured all the time, then you need to 'fire up the soul'. He knows his fate, and the more people he can distract, the longer he survives. He appears as the 'angel of light' in order to fool the people that aren't prepared for his antics.
He does the damage and leaves us to clean up the mess. But, often times, we are ill equipped to do so effectively. That's where the WORD of God comes in. If you truly want to get out from under the influence of this world, hit the Word, hot and heavy!
Get the scriptures deep within your spirit, and meditate on them all the time. When satan tries to tempt you, give him scripture. The Bible says to resist the devil and he will flee. [James 4:7]
To resist, you have to know who you are in Christ, and how to use His Word and Power effectively. You have to believe in what you are saying and doing, not just repeating it because it sounds good. Put your trust fully in God and His Word, turn up the flame... and the devil will have to run, not you!
