Personal Story Of The Day
Taking The Right WayThe fog was as thickest I had experienced on water. Visibility was limited to a few feet, and Eildon Weir was as smooth as glass. The only sound to break the silence was the calling of a bird across the lake. I paddled for an hour around the shore, trying to catch fish in different areas, but the fish weren't biting! So I decided to go back to my camp for a cup of coffee.
I was at the mouth of a small inlet, which I knew was directly across the lake from the camp site. So I set out across the lake on a straight course (I thought) toward the camp. The minutes went by and after an hour I was surprised when I arrived back at the mouth of the little stream from which I started.
I had been going in a circle in the fog. I was so sure I knew where I was going, but after an hour I had gotten nowhere! If I had only taken my compass... instead of relying on my own sense of direction. Proverbs 3:5 comes to mind: "Lean not on your own understanding." Without the Lord as your guide through the fog of life, and His Word as your compass, you will wander aimlessly.
So be sure to make Proverbs 3:6 your lifelong motto: "In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."
Jokes Of The Day
Why are monks always meditating and relaxed and full of profound thoughts and ideas?
Because they’re single.

Some thoughts on marriage
- Just think, if it weren't for marriage, men would go through life thinking they had no faults at all.
- Actually, should the truth be known, there are a lot of good ways to "handle" a woman. Unfortunately, not a man alive knows any of them. And if he did, he'd be wise not to try.
- Personally I think one of the greatest things about marriage is that as both husband and Father, I can say anything I want to around the house. Of course, no one pays the least bit of attention.
- Did any of you other married guys out there ever wonder whether it's better to have loved and lost, than to have loved and won.

Riddle Of The Day
Never speaking, still awake,Pleasing most when most I speak,
The Delight of old and young,
Tho' I speak without a Tongue.
Nought but one Thing can confound me,
Many Voices joining round me;
Then I fret, and rave and gabble,
Like the Labourers of Babel.
Now I am a Dog, or Cow,
I can bark, or I can low,
I can bleat, or I can sing,
Like the Warblers of the Spring.
Let the Love-sick Bard complain,
And I mourn the cruel Pain;
Let the happy Swain rejoice,
And I join my helping Voice;
Both are welcome, Grief or Joy,
I with either sport and toy.
Tho' a Lady, I am stout,
Drums and Trumpets bring me out;
Then I clash and roar, and rattle,
Join in all the Din of Battle.
Jove, with all his loudest Thunder,
When I'm vext, can't keep me under;
Yet so tender is my Ear,
That the lowest Voice I fear;
Much I dread the Courtier's Fate,
When his Merit's out of Date,
For I hate a silent Breath,
And a Whisper is my Death.
Jonathan Swift, (1667-1745)
Answer to Yesterday's Riddle
What is bought by the yard and worn by the foot?
Carpet.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Reality... Life Is Brief.
How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words? These ten times have ye reproached me. Job 19:23. References from Job 20:1-29.
In music, a composition often presents a musical theme and then follows up with successive variations on that theme. A good example of this technique is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The final movement repeats and develops various themes that were introduced in the first and third movements. Parts of this symphony can even be heard in several of Beethoven's earlier works, such as his Choral Fantasy, Opus 80.
In the symphony of speeches given by Job's friends, all three play a variation on the same theme.
The theme is retribution theology, and the variants include 'You reap what you sow', or 'Suffering is the result of sin'. The fact that Zophar repeats his own variation shows how little he has heard Job. About the only thing that Zophar has heard is Job's rebuke. It seems he cares more about his own reputation than about Job's spiritual well-being.
The wording of verses 2 and 3 also suggests that Zophar is only interacting with his own thoughts and understanding. He's hardly the model of active listening!
Zophar is likely reacting to Job's warning of judgment (19:25-27). For Zophar, Job has rejected God by questioning the way that He administers justice. So Zophar condescendingly reminds Job of the obvious fact that from the beginning of time, as everyone knows, the joy of the wicked is fleeting and their life short lived (v68). But Zophar presents only part of the story.
In reality, the way of all humanity is brief, as Psalm 103:15-16 and other verses attest. At least Job has understood that despite the brevity of human existence, there is an afterlife where final reward or judgment occurs.
And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her. Ruth 1:14.
A number of years ago a new glue, characterised by an unusually strong holding power, was introduced on the market and sold under a variety of names. Advertisements for this product showed such unusual feats as a car being lifted with a crane while attached only by means of this glue. On another occasion, a full-grown elephant was lifted into the air after having its harness glued to a hoist.
The message came through clearly: this 'super glue' bonds in an extraordinary way.
That's the way Ruth bonded to Naomi. Certainly, her old life had a pull on Ruth's heart. She was not insensitive to her old customs, her familiar haunts or her Moabite family. But the glue that bound her spirit to Naomi was even stronger. It simply would not let go. She "clung" to her mother-in-law with the tenacity of a super glue.
Ruth was committed to a whole new life, not just a change of jobs or a change of scenery. Turning back and separating herself from Naomi was not an option. This same bonding takes place when we receive the Holy Spirit.
The Bible says that there is One who "sticks closer than a brother" (Prov 18:24). The apostle Paul asks, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?" (Rom 8:35).
He answers his question a few verses later: "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Rom. 8:38-39).
If you are feeling abandoned today, at loose ends with everything around you, rest in the assurance that Jesus Christ sticks with you. Christ will cling to you with a tenacity that would put even a super glue to shame. He will never let you go.
Facts Of The Day
The elephant is the largest animal on land. But it is much smaller than the blue whale.
