Personal Story Of The Day
Lubricating The Heart
There's an old story of an eccentric old man who carried an oil can with him everywhere he went. If he passed through a squeaky door or a stiff gate, he applied oil to the hinges. His practice of lubricating made life easier for those who followed after him.
Nearly every day we encounter people whose lives creak and grate harshly with problems. In such situations we face two choices... either we aggravate their problems with a spirit of judgement, or we lubricate their lives in the Spirit of Christ. Some people we meet carry unbearable burdens and look for the oil of a sympathetic word. Others are defeated and feel like giving up. Just one drop of encouragement could restore their hope. Still others are mean and full of sinful intentions. Such people can become pliable toward the saving power of Christ through regular applications of the oil of kindness.
When we are saved (anointed [oiled] by the Holy Spirit), the Holy Spirit indwells us and equips us to bless others. If we're prepared to pour out God's oil of helpfulness every day and everywhere, beginning at home, we'll minister Christ's power and the oil of joy to many hurting people. Perhaps the old man with the oil can wasn't so eccentric after all.
Jokes Of The Day
Because I was processing my first accident report at the transport company where I worked, I was being particularly attentive.The driver had hit a deer on the highway, and the result was a severely damaged hood and fender. My serious mood was broken, however, when I reached the section of the report that asked, "Speed of other vehicle?"
The driver had put, "Full gallop."

My six-year-old grandson called his mother from his friend Charlie's house and confessed he had broken a lamp when he threw a football in their living room.
"But, Mom," he said, brightening, "you don't have to worry about buying another one. Charlie's mother said it was irreplaceable."

Riddle Of The Day
Almost everyone needs it, asks for it, gives it, but almost nobody takes it. What is it?Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
A mansion I am For many, many things. I can live for a very long time. As I grow, I wear more jewelry; However, my jewelry is hidden. Only when I die Do others find How old I've grown And just where my jewelry lies.
A Tree :The rings of trees tell how old a tree is. When a tree is cut down, the number of rings can be seen to tell just how old the tree is. Before it is cut down, you cannot see the number of rings.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. Isaiah 49:6. References from Romans 15:14-22; 11:11-16.
A stanza from the popular hymn, ‘Tell Me the Old, Old Story’, begins: ‘Tell me the story slowly, That I may take it in... That wonderful redemption, God's remedy for sin.’ This is the story that we've been following for a while and today we see that Paul carefully understood his own part in the old, old story. You may have heard the claim that Paul invented Christianity, because Jesus never intended to start an organized religion. The problem, of course, is that this is completely untrue. This becomes clear when we see that both Jesus and Paul saw their own calling as fitting perfectly in the larger context of God's redemptive story.
On the road to Emmaus, Jesus showed the disciples how everything in the law and the prophets related to Him (Luke 24:44-45). Similarly, Paul's understanding of his call to the Gentiles was firmly based in the Old Testament. Paul didn't invent anything... he was simply obedient to God's call and His Word. Toward the end of his letter to the Romans, Paul affirmed his call to be a light to the Gentiles. Giving credit to God's grace, Paul acknowledged that some of the points that he had made in this letter weren't easy, but he was duty bound to proclaim the gospel in its entirety to the largely Gentile church in Rome.
Quoting from Isaiah 52:15, Paul noted his calling to preach the gospel where it hadn't been previously preached. In fact, God had enabled Paul to preach the gospel all the way to Illyricum; modern day Albania. Despite his clear call to the Gentiles, Paul also understood that the gospel went first to the Jews, then to the Gentiles. As he traveled, he first shared the gospel in synagogues. It's also clear that Paul saw his ministry to Gentiles in terms of its impact on the Jews. As we read in Romans 11:14, Paul hoped that his Gentile ministry would make the Jews envious and lead to their salvation.
A Place To Call Home
And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever. Genesis 13:14-15.
In late summer in America the migration of the monarch butterfly occurs. If you 're in the right place at the right time, you can see millions of them clinging to tree limbs and shrubbery as the flock journeys to a remote mountain site in central Mexico. Scientists have found 16 of these sites, ranging from one to ten acres each, within a 100 mile radius, where millions of butterflies from North America spend the winter.
No one knows how butterflies find their way there. Each generation that migrates is new and has never been there before. Yet something programmed into their tiny bodies directs them to a place they have never seen, but is a home they instinctively know they must find. The Jews have the same attitude toward their homeland of Israel, and it all began with Abraham. God gave him a plot of land... not just to this Jewish patriarch, but to his "descendants forever." Even though they are now spread throughout the world, Jews still long to return to this small oasis.
For some, it's just for a visit; for others, it's to start life over again. But for Jews, wherever they may live, Israel is home. That same instinct for home should burn in the hearts of Christians. For us, home is not a country on earth; it's a destination where Jesus Christ will rule as King of Kings. While Abraham and his descendants were promised a land, all who receive the Holy Spirit are promised an eternal dwelling place (John 14:2). Take comfort in the thought that you have a home in heaven. Each day brings you closer to home... not to visit, but to live. Heaven is more than a city; it's a home.
