Personal Story Of The Day

The Signs Are Still There

A group of religious leaders asked Jesus to give them a "sign from heaven" (Matthew 16:1). They had witnessed many of His miracles, but they had either minimized them or attributed them to Satan. It is not uncommon for people to ignore the signs of God's choosing and want something different, because they are unhappy with His Choices. 

The Pharisees were now demanding that Jesus perform another miracle... perhaps like Joshua who commanded the sun and moon to stand still (Joshua10:12-14), or like Elijah who called down fire from heaven (1 Kings 18:30-40). They did this to test Jesus. 

Seeing their hypocrisy, Jesus said that while they could make weather predictions by looking at the sky, they were unable to read the much clearer "signs of the times" revealed in His ministry of teaching and healing (v3). 

Anyone who sincerely seeks the truth will be given all the evidence necessary for their faith. The power of the risen Christ can be seen in many of His followers. On the day of Pentecost, the power of the Holy Spirit was poured out... people spoke in tongues, healings and miracles were common. If you want a sign, it is still the same today.

He says he'll bring the girl over with two other women and see if his mother can guess which is the one he wants to marry. His mother agrees to the game.

That night, he shows up at his mother's house with three beautiful young ladies. They all sit down on the couch, and everyone has a wonderful evening talking and getting to know each other.

At the end of the evening, the young man asks his mother, 'OK, Mom, which one is the woman I want to marry?'

Without any hesitation at all, his mother replies, 'The one in the middle.'

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

Everything Is One Step At A Time

In Peter's life there was a time in which there was a slow, downward spiral, a regression from courage to cowardice. It began with a denial, moved to a defence and concluded with a denial of a different kind. Just prior to these verses is the boast of Peter, the one in which he denied that he would ever deny his friendship and love of Jesus. Then came the scene in the garden. Judas arrived with a group of armed men. With characteristic courage and impetuousness, Peter drew his sword and struck a man. 

Peter then moved away from Jesus' side to somewhere in the distance. He hung back, staying just out of sight yet keeping everything in sight. His courage was waning. A servant girl and another girl prompted the first two denials. The third denial in the crowd was inevitable. In Peter's actions there is a lesson: A step back from Jesus may lead to yet another. 

He did not go immediately from courage to cowardice. It was a sequence of events. Watch your every step. Stay close to Christ. When your step is away, make sure the next one is back toward the Lord.


Called By Thy Name 

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts. Jeremiah 15:16.

It is a tremendous responsibility to bear someone else's name. From the pages of history we learn of a cowardly young soldier in the army of Alexander the Great. Whenever the battle grew fierce, the young soldier would withdraw to safety. The general called him to account and asked, "What's your name, soldier?" When the timid soldier replied, "Alexander, sir," Alexander the Great sternly warned him, "Either change your name or change your ways." 

Jeremiah proudly declared, I am called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts. By this he meant, I bear your name. Jeremiah's life reflected how seriously he took that privilege. In spite of opposition and, at times, physical persecution, he stood firm for God. The realization that he belonged to God was a constant reminder to Jeremiah that he needed to reflect His character. Unflinchingly he served his name's sake, no matter what the cost. 

Every Christian needs to remember that he or she bears the name of Christ. God's Word will be a joy to us when we seek to live in a way that does not bring shame to the testimony of our Lord. As we study His Word and make it a part of our daily lives, we will find our heart rejoicing in our relationship with Him. Never forget the name you bear... you are a "Christ"Ian. 

If you want to find ongoing joy in that relationship, take time regularly to read God's Word. Prayerfully consider how you might live his Word, how you might show those around you what it means to be called by His name, to demonstrate the power that works through it.
