G'day .....what a joy to know you are reading this today

Only 327 days to the year 2027

Scripture Of The Day

And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
Luke 3:22

Read The Bible In a Year

Leviticus 4-5 ; Matthew 24:29-51

Thoughts For The Day

The continual offering of praise requires stamina; we ought to praise God even when we do not feel like it. Praising Him takes away the foggyness and restores us to normal.

The cyclone derives its powers from a calm center. So does a person.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

Motivation For The Day

To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else

Personal Story Of The Day

Coming And Going

The phrase "at his word" is used twice in Numbers 27:21 to emphasise how God would guide Israel. Joshua was to direct Israel to "go out" and "come in" based on what God told Eleazer the priest. How often do we make a decision to go somewhere or do something based on our pride, personal ambition, or merely to keep busy? How often do we go only because someone we hope to please asked us to go, rather than because we want to please the Lord?

When we "go out" to pursue our own desires instead of following God's leading, we will be frustrated in our efforts and left empty and disappointed. But when we go out at the Lord's prompting and direction, "at His word," He is responsible for the outcome. The result will be fruitful labour, whether we know it or not. The time to "come in" is also ordered by the Lord. There are times to retreat... to pray, to fill our hearts and minds with His Word and to rest our bodies. We must come daily before our great High Priest, the Lord Jesus, and receive His instruction. If we bow before Him and ask for His guidance, He will help us to know what to do and when to do it.

There is an alternative world of spiritual actions and requirements happening in tandem with our own. The spirit allows us to tap into the blessing of God's world and spread it round.

Jokes Of The Day

Childhood: The time of life when you make funny faces in the mirror.

Middle Age: The time of life when the mirror gets even."
************************************

A mother skunk was always in a panic because she couldn't keep track of her two tiny ones. One was named Out and the other In. When Out was in, In was out. One day she saw Out but couldn't find In. She told Out to go out and bring In in. In about twenty seconds, Out brought In in. Surprised, the mother skunk asked, "How did you find him so fast?" The tiny skunk answered, "It was easy. In stinct!"

************************************

A man came home from work and found his three children outside,
still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes
and wrappers strewn all around the front yard.
The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the
house and there was no sign of the dog. Proceeding into the entry,
he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked
over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall.
In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel,
and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.
In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled
on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled
on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of
sand was spread by the back door.
He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles
of clothes,looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or
that something serious had happened.
He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out
the bathroom door.
As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys
strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste
had been smeared over the mirror and walls.
As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed
in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked
how his day went.
He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?"
She again smiled and answered, "You know every day when you come
home from work and you ask me what in the world I do all day?"
"Yes," was his incredulous reply.
She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."

Riddle Of The Day

Discovered in Africa, I spread like a tide To become a hot staple known the world wide. A necessity to some, a treasure to many, I'm best enjoyed among pleasant company.
Some like me hot and some like me cold.
Some prefer mild, others only bold.
Some take me straight, while some like to savor
My essence to which has been added a flavor.

So put down your cares and sit awhile with me;
I'll send you back refreshed and full of energy.

Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
My first is in ocean, but never in sea. My next is in wasp, but not in a bee. My last is in Glider and also in flight. My whole is a creature that hunts through the night.
An owl. O is in ocean, but not in sea. W is in wasp, but not in bee. L is in both glider and flight. Most owls do their hunting for food at night.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

All The Fruit

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Galatians 5:25. References from Galatians 5:24-26.

Having spent some time exploring biblical examples of the characteristics or fruit that indicate the Spirit's presence in our life, we can now return to Paul's argument in Galatians. Previously we saw that the real problem with humanity is that all people are enslaved to their sinful nature. The Law was and is powerless to fix this problem. Jesus, by dying for our sins and rising again, did what the Law cannot do. He rescued us from our natural evil nature in a very evil age.

His crucifixion also brings about the crucifixion of the sinful nature (v24, see also 2:20). The Spirit is the means by which this rescue operation is carried out. That is, those empowered by the Spirit live not as enslaved children, but as free, mature heirs of the inheritance promised to Abraham. We live lives characterised by the fruit of the Spirit. Keeping in step with the Spirit results in a more loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle and self-controlled person. Let's keep in mind that the fruits of the spirit do not on their own identify a true Christian... speaking in tongues is the sign of salvation, with the other gifts of the spirit being there to develop.

However, the fruit of the spirit identifies those who are exercising the spirit that dwells within them. The Law does not stand against or condemn those who live in this manner (v23). This is why Paul told the Jews and Gentiles who are united in Christ, not to provoke or envy one another (v26). Those who are born of the spirit have fulfilled the law without toiling in its disciplines and details... it is a time to rejoice, not to be jealous.

A Divided Heart

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Matthew5:43-44

How is your heart today? Are you sure that it's right with God, with no hidden hostilities, hate, or revenge? Have you checked its corners lately, to make sure the spiderwebs of past hurts are gone? Have you dusted the 'interior' recently? The way of the world sows divisions among the nations, between the peoples, and between even your neighbours! But God would have us to 'love one another'... to pass on forgiveness... to tear down the walls that separate us from those in other cities, even other countries... anything that would separate us from God.

He is the great I AM, the Almighty God... our provider and banner... the God of enough! There is not one barrier that he can't get through or one wall He can't break down for the cause of unity. Love never fails! There is no love stronger than God's. There's no power on earth that can surpass the power of God that He gives to His people that obey Him. Today, pray for the barriers to be taken away, for the walls to fall just as the walls of Jericho fell... so that God can bring people to him through the love shown them by His people.

Facts Of The Day

Gutenburg invented the printing press in the 1450's, and the first book to ever be printed was the Bible. It was, however, in Latin rather than English.

Henry Waterman, of New York, invented the elevator in 1850. He intended it to transport barrels of flour.
