Scripture Of The Day
So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.Proverbs 24:14
Read The Bible In a Year
Psalms 137-139 ; 1 Corinthians 13Thoughts For The Day
Courage is resistance to fear; mastery of fear - not absence of fear.The stories of past courage... can offer hope, they can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul.
If life were measured by accomplishments, most of us would die in infancy.

Personal Story Of The Day
Godly Service Answers Its Own Questions.
For some, the struggle to keep ourselves in a good spiritual state, can rear its head at the most inappropriate times. A young man came to Jesus asking what he needed to do to get eternal life. He was wealthy and probably thought that, like success, eternal life was something he could achieve or buy. This man's soul hung in the balance.
His seeking had forced him to look at his own values. At that point in his life, however, his assets meant more than the life Christ offered. Then the discussion turned to the question of who can be saved.
Out of natural confusion came Peter's inquiry, "We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?" Christ's response was most gentle considering the conversation had turned away from salvation to a question of rewards. There are rewards coming. But Jesus cautioned, "Many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first".
Those who try to be at the head of the line ultimately will find themselves at the end. Our service is not to be done with a "what's in it for me attitude" but out of love for Christ and the care of the people he loves.
Jokes Of The Day
A blonde is terribly overweight, so her doctor put her on a diet. "I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least 5 pounds."When the blonde returned, she shocked the doctor by losing nearly 20 pounds.
"Why, that's amazing!" the doctor said, "Did you follow my instructions?"
The blonde nodded... "I'll tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead that 3rd day."
"From hunger, you mean?", asked the doctor."
"No, from skipping."

Disgusted with his life, an absent-minded professor decided to commit suicide. That night his wife returned home to find him hanging from the ceiling by his ankles.
"What are you doing up there?" she asked.
"I'm trying to kill myself," replied the professor.
"You're doing it all wrong," said his wife. "You're supposed to put the rope around your neck."
"I tried it that way," whined the professor, "but I couldn't breathe."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
A sociologist was writing a book about the difficulties of growing up in a large family, so he interviewed the mother of 13 children. After several questions, he asked, "Do you think all children deserve the full, impartial love and attention of a mother?" "Of course," said the mother. "Well, which of your children do you love the most?" he asked, hoping to catch her in a contradiction.
She answered, "The one who is sick until he gets well, and the one who is away until he gets home." That mother's response reminds me of the shepherd who left 99 sheep to seek the one that was lost (Luke 15:4), the woman who searched for the one coin (v8), and the father who threw a party when his wayward son returned (v22-24). The religious leaders of Jesus' day resented the way He gave so much attention to sinners (v1-2).
Thus He told those stories to emphasize God's love for people who are lost in sin. God has more than enough love to go around. Besides, those who are "well" and are not "lost" experience the Father's love as fully as those to whom He gives special attention (v31).
Smart Enough To Stay Saved
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 3:5.
The number of people who correctly choose to serve God by following the bible pattern is very low. Even more troubling is the number of these people who continue to do so, especially after being filled with the Spirit and having God's gifts working in their lives. How is it that someone who receives the Holy Spirit, speaks in tongues, gets healed and numerous other blessings can change to one who denies every miracle that ever happened to them?
The people of Jesus day were in the same position. (The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. John 3:2). Many of the leaders knew who Jesus was, but couldn't separate themselves from the corruption of the system they were living under. Many depended on their authority and income derived from the corruptions they were supposed to resist.
When Jesus gave the advice to 'sell all you have, give it to the poor and follow me', to the rich man, he was laying a pattern of recovery for those who choose to do right, but change their minds later. If we use the wisdom God has given us (a gift of the Spirit), and continually ask to be directed by it, God will supply it in abundance (James 1:5).
Wisdom will direct our steps around the things of this world, which we interpret as riches, replacing them with thoughts and deeds that please God and give us the satisfaction we truly seek.
Remember, this is the overcoming actions of the victorious... ('But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you'. Mat 6:33). No matter how experienced we get, no matter how knowledgeable we become, no matter how many miracles we perform, we always need to be as a humble child before the Lord.
