Personal Story Of The Day
Real FarmingIn our zeal to serve the Lord, it's easy to think that it's our responsibility to produce results. This causes us to place too much faith in our ability and too little faith in God's.
Paul observed this same tendency in the Corinthian church. Certain believers extolled the seed-planting attitude of Paul, while others favoured the seed-watering practice of Apollos. In 1 Corinthians 3, Paul reminded them that it is God who brings the seed to fruition (v4-7). Yet Paul acknowledged that their faithful efforts were part of God's plan, "and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour." (v8).
Alternatively, imagine a farmer sitting on his front porch. You ask him what he's doing. He answers, "Farming." You ask him what he's growing. He replies, "Wheat." "But your fields look unplowed and unplanted," you say. "That's right," he answers, "I'm farming by faith. Believing God for a harvest." "But shouldn't you be doing something?" you protest. He replies, "I am. I'm praying and believing!"
Jokes Of The Day
What's the difference between a pick pocket and a politician?A pick pocket steals first, and then runs, while a politician runs first, and then steals.

A mother camel and a baby camel were talking one day when the baby camel asked, "Mom, why do we have these huge three-toed feet?"
The mother replied, "Well son, when we trek across the desert, our toes will help us stay on top of the soft sand."
Two minutes later the young camel asked, "Mom, why do we have these long eyelashes?"
They are there to keep the sand out of our eyes on the trips through the desert," the mother said.
"Mom, why have we got these great big humps on our back?"
"They are there to help us store water for our long treks across the desert, so we can go without drinking for long periods of time."
"So we have huge feet to stop us from sinking, long eyelashes to keep the sand out of our eyes, and these humps to store water."
"Yes dear."
"So what are we doing in the zoo?"

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on
nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting
medical studies:
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than
the Americans, Australians, British, or Canadians.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than
the Americans, Australians, British, or Canadians.
3.. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks
than the Americans, Australians, British, or Canadians.
4. The Italians drink large amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer
heart attacks than the Americans, Australians, British, or Canadians.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and
suffer fewer heart attacks than the Americans, Australians, British, or
Canadians.
6. Ukrainians drink a lot of vodka, eat a lot of cabbage rolls and suffer
fewer heart attacks than the Americans, Australians, British, or
Canadians.
CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently
what kills people .

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
A Good Friend.Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. Ecclesiastes 4:9. References from Ecclesiastes 4:9-16.
During the reign of Nicholas II, the last czar of Russia, Vladimir Lenin was arrested multiple times for his radical conduct, but he emerged as a powerful new leader after the October Revolution. After Lenin died, Joseph Stalin, son of a shoemaker, took the Soviet helm. All three rulers had one thing in common... their popularity waned completely by the end of their lives, but their spirit of tyranny lived on.
It was out of that state of oppression that renowned author Alexander Solzhenitsyn fled the KGB. His friend, the famous musician Mstislav Rostropovich, risked his career and life to give Solzhenitsyn asylum, where he was able to continue writing in peace for years.
The second half of today's verses takes us through a power shifting scenario much like the one Russia endured, and it shows us just how fleeting public support of a leader can be. The old ruler can succumb to stubborn foolishness (v13), to the point where he can be overthrown by an imprisoned foe or succeeded by a poor commoner from his own land (v14). The masses may be swayed by the hope a new leader brings (v15), but before long the newness wears off and the ruler's approval rating plummets (v16).
Verses 9-12 show that the fleeting approval of many is far inferior to the loyalty of one friend. When two join together, their work is more efficient (v9), they can rescue each other from downfall (v10), and they can keep each other safe and warm (v11, 12). The history of Russia illustrates the point here... Solzhenitsyn gained more from the love of one friend than any Russian ruler ever received from the near absolute power they wielded.
Yesterday, we saw that greed and envy lead to oppression and loneliness... today we concluded that any popularity gained from such selfish ambition is easily lost, but the love of friendship offers a more lasting reward. It's better to be a good friend than a great king.
Disappointments Are Part Of Life
Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Psalms 62:8.
We often have disappointments in our lives. We have to face such things as losing a job we loved, or losing a friendship. Most of the time, we have no control over these happenings in our lives. But no matter what the situation, we still are upset when a disappointment comes our way.
Each of us handles the disappointments in different ways. Some will grieve themselves unnecessarily. They will stress themselves out, often making them sick. Others just consider it's another 'event of life'. But then, there are those that turn to the Lord.
When a disappointment crosses your path, you should be ready to hand it over to the Lord. The enemy will test you with all sorts of things, but, if you have put on the whole armour of God, renew your mind daily in His Word, then, you should be prepared to trust in Him wholly! Not only can he handle the disappointments that come your way, but He can give you peace over each and every one.

Not only can he handle the disappointments that come your way, but He can give you peace over each and every one.
The hurt and pain will vanish, and only memories will remain. Disappointments come and go, but the LOVE OF GOD remains! So, learn to trust in Him for everything in your life.
