Personal Story Of The Day

In Quiet Confidence

At the retirement for a pastor who had served his church for a couple of decades, several officers eloquently extolled his many virtues. One of the congregation, however, paid a tribute that the pastor considered to be the most gratifying. He said, "I have observed him nearly every day for the past 20 plus years, and I've never seen him in a hurry!" The pastor said that for years he had asked God to teach him how to renew his strength through "quietness and confidence," as he had read in Isaiah 30:15. 

In this verse Isaiah was calling rebellious Israel to return to God and rely on Him to find new strength. The pastor, however, saw in that verse a principle applicable to his own life.
Some people are calm by nature; others are high-strung. But Christians, regardless of their temperament, can come to God in prayer and learn to renew their strength in quietness and confidence. 

Martin Luther said that he could get so busy that he first needed to spend at least 3 hours a day in prayer to get anything done... a bit of overkill but a valid spiritual observation. Often we reverse that order. We rush from task to task feeling flustered because we haven't set time aside for the Lord. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Let's learn the principle set forth in Isaiah 30:15 that Israel never learned... For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

Jokes Of The Day

Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were swimming around in the sea - one called Justin and the other called Christian.

The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that patrolled the area. Finally, one day during a tropical storm, Justin said to Christian "I'm bored and frustrated at being a prawn, I wish I was a shark - then I wouldn't have any worries about being eaten..."

As Justin had his mind firmly on becoming a predator, a flash of lightning hit the water and, lo and behold, Justin turned into a shark. Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid of being eaten by his old mate.

Time went on and Justin found himself becoming bored and lonely as a shark. All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close to them. Justin didn't realize that his new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight. During the next tropical storm, Justin figured that the same lightning force could change him back into a prawn. Lightning never strikes twice except in stories like these, but while he was thinking of being a prawn again, a flash of lightning struck the water next to Justin and, lo and behold, he turned back into a prawn.

With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes, Justin swam back to his friends and bought them all a cocktail. Looking around the gathering at the reef, he searched for his old pal. "Where's Christian?" he asked.

"He's at home, distraught that his best friend changed sides to the enemy and became a shark" came the reply.

Eager to put things right again and end the mutual pain and torture, he set off to Christian's house. As he opened the coral gate, the memories came flooding back. He banged on the door and shouted, "It's me, Justin, your old friend. Come out and see me again".

Christian replied, "No way, man. You'll eat me. You're a shark, the enemy. I will not be tricked".

Justin cried back "No I'm not. That was the old me. I've changed....... I'm a prawn again Christian!!!"
************************************

One day God was looking down at Earth and saw all of the evil that was going on. He decided to send an angel down to Earth to check it out.

So he called one of His best angels and sent the angel to Earth for a time. When she returned she told God, yes it is bad on Earth, 95% is bad and 5% is good.

Well, he thought for a moment and said maybe I had better send down a second angel to get another point of view. So God called another angel and sent her to Earth for a time too.

When the angel returned she went to God and told him yes, the Earth was in decline, 95% was bad and 5% was good.

God said this was NOT good.

So He decided to E-mail the 5% that were good and He wanted to encourage them, give them a little something to help them keep going.

Do you know what that E-mail said?

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day


Are You Contented With Your Contentment?

Numbers chapter 11 begins with a complaint. When the going gets tough, those with a gripe get going. The Exodus was not a nature walk, but a tough trek through the wilderness. There were definite hardships. The first complaint, though, was about the food. In their minds, the Israelites had eaten better when they were slaves. The power of the stomach was so strong that it sounds like they preferred the food of slavery over the menu of the delivered. 

Think about all the blessings God was giving them. They were freed from slavery, delivered from the Egyptian army and given a promised land. On a daily basis they experienced God's provision of food and guidance. Yet in the midst of deliverance, protection, provision and guidance, the people complained. This has been a historic problem in spirit filled churches as well. 

Their discontent was really a rejection of the Lord... verse 18-20 makes this clear (...Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat. Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days; But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?). 

Rejection of God's plan for our lives is a rejection of God. Discontent with our circumstances is a rejection of God. Christians may not think of it in that way, but God certainly does. The blessing of contentment comes with acceptance and promotion of God's work in our lives... no matter what comes our way. 


Amnesia... A Blessing?

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Jeremiah 31:34.

In February 1978, Steven Kubacki was cross-country skiing on the ice of Lake Michigan. He stopped for a moment, pausing to enjoy the winter crispness and serenity. As he stood there, he realized it was colder than he thought. Turning around, he started back, but came to realize he was lost. Wandering on the ice, he grew numb and very tired. The next thing he remembered was waking up in a paddock warmed by the touch of the springtime sun. 

The clothing he wore, the items in the backpack beside him, were all unfamiliar. It was 14 months later and he had no recollection of what had transpired during the intervening time. He lost more than a year of his life to total amnesia (documented case study). 

Jeremiah promised that God would one day have this same forgetfulness toward Israel's sin. While they might have to experience the consequences of their sin, the prophet indicated that something in the future would remove the guilt of sin forever. A day was coming when sin would be remembered no more. When Christ died on the cross, this promise became a reality. 

With His last breath, Jesus proclaimed, "It is finished" (John 19:30). In the New Testament era, merchants would use these same words to indicate that a bill had been paid. 
God is able to put our sins behind Him forever because Jesus, His Son, paid the penalty for those sins. 

For those who walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, this is an everyday reality. If you are struggling with guilt over your sins, confess them and put them away. Ask God to forgive you and, having done that, do what the Father does... forget them. Move on with your life and leave your sins in the past... but be smart enough to learn from them... as time goes by you will minimize your failings and manage temptations with skills and confidence. 

God forgets your confessed sins; so should you.
