from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship

Hello once again...

Only 307 days to the year 2027

Scripture Of The Day

In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
Psalms 31:1

Read The Bible In a Year

Numbers 17-19 ; Mark 6:30-56

Thoughts For The Day

Credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

Even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

Many people think that if they were only in some other place, or had some other job, they would be happy. Well, that is doubtful. So get as much out of what you are doing as you can and don't put off being happy until some future date.

Motivation For The Day

"We are all born dumb. Some remain so."

Personal Story Of The Day

It's All In The Name

In the mid 1800s, Texas rancher Samuel Augustus Maverick refused to brand his cattle. When neighbouring cowboys came upon a calf without a brand, they called it a "maverick." The word entered the English language and came to refer to a person who takes an independent standard and refuses to conform. Other names have become words that describe a person's character and behaviour: Judas means traitor. An Einstein is a genius, while a Solomon is a wise man. Few of our names or our friends names will become part of a language, but they signify who we are and how we have lived... today and for generations to come.

Solomon said, "The memory of the just is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot... He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known." (Proverbs 10:7,9). When we think of someone we know and admire, the words we associate with that person's name are usually the character traits we'd like to have as well. Honesty, generosity, and love often head the list. We see these in our Lord Jesus Christ, who allows us as Christians to bear His name. Today, the Lord wants to work in us to make our name one that points to Him and his gospel.

Jokes Of The Day

Checking out of the grocery store, I noticed that the bag boy was eyeing my two adopted children curiously. They often draw scrutiny, since my son is a blond Russian, while my daughter has shiny black Haitian skin.

The boy continued staring as he carried our groceries to the car.

Finally, he asked. "Those your kids?"

"Yes, they are!" I answered proudly.

"They adopted?" he asked.

"Yes," I replied.

"I thought so," he concluded. "I figured you're too old to have kids that small."

Riddle Of The Day

There are 20 people in an empty, square room. Each person has full sight of the entire room and everyone in it without turning his head or body, or moving in any way other than the eyes. Where can you place an apple so that all but one person can see it?

Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
Romeo and Juliet are found dead on the floor in a bedroom. When they were discovered, there were pieces of glass and some water on the floor. The only furniture in the room is a shelf and a bed. The house in is a remote location, away from everything except for the nearby railway track. What caused the death of Romeo and Juliet?
Romeo and Juliet are fish. The rumble of the train knocked the tank off the shelf. :)

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

Making Your free time work.

and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, Deuteronomy 14:26. References from Deuteronomy 14:22-29.

For some of the best food in America, just head for... a Navy submarine? Thats right. Because submarine duty is one of the most demanding assignments in the military, professionally trained Navy chefs serve such delicacies as steak, prime rib, stuffed lobster tails, and fresh baked bread in generous portions to the sailors. On one submarine known for its chicken dishes, a week's menu once included Sichuan chicken, Jamaican chicken, chicken cordon bleu, savoury baked chicken, chicken cacciatore, Southern fried chicken, and chicken noodle soup.

Sounds like a five-star underwater feast! Feasting before the Lord was a key element in the leisure and worship life of Israel. In today's verses, we see in action the principles mentioned yesterday... rest, worship, and celebration. The physical pleasures of good food and drink, the combination of happiness and order, and the freedom and spiritual blessing of being in God's presence, fuse together into a beautiful picture of community pleasure. This special covenant meal took place in the context of tithing, and so was an acknowledgment that our well-being and all that we have, ultimately belongs to the Lord (v23).

As God's ministers, the Levites received the bulk of the tithe for their daily needs, but first the whole nation was to have a feast with it. The poor were also to be provided for, showing that a spirit of compassion is exactly in line with Godly holidays. What a contrast this was to comparable Canaanite events where feasting would be accompanied by sexual immorality and drunkenness. Celebration was such an essential part of this regulation that it included a Plan B. If the distance was too far, the worshipers could buy the feast fixings, anything you wish, and organise the worship meal somewhere else. The point was to eat together and rejoice in the Lord's presence (v26).

Sometimes Children Know Better!

The religious leaders were wrong about Jesus as He rode into Jerusalem (Matthew 21:15-16). They couldn't have been more wrong if they had tried. True, they knew a lot of theology, but they were dead wrong about who Jesus was. The children, however, were right. They were the ones in the temple who shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" (v15). They believed that the Person riding that unbroken colt was the promised Son of David.

They fulfilled the prophecy of Psalm 8:2 by giving praise to the Lamb who was about to die for the sins of the world. It was the children who responded with wholehearted joy, even though they may not have fully understood Jesus' calling to redeem mankind. Yes, children can teach us a vital lesson about faith. In their openness and innocence, it's easy for them to trust the One whose pure character touches a responsive chord in their tender hearts. As adults, we think we know so much.

We try to be so mature, so correct, so religious. I wonder if we would even recognise the Saviour if He walked among us, working the kind of miracles He performed long ago. Also, teaching truth by correcting poor doctrine and overzealous judgments. Lord, give us the faith of little children.

Facts Of The Day

Nutella is a hazelnut spread made with skim milk and cocoa. It is virtually unknown in America, but European and Australian children have happily smeared it on breakfast toast for years.

Glaciers occupy 5.8 million square miles, or 10 percent of the world's land surface, as in an area as large as South America.
