Thoughts For The Day

A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the true value of time.

No matter what God gives you to do today, remember, He's preparing you for tomorrow. No matter how tough this day is for you to deal with, it's a part of God's training plan. It carries within it a precious lesson He wants you to learn about Him, about His power, about His love for you, about His gentle, yet powerful, hand on your life. Even in the worst of circumstances, savor them. Seek God's hand in them. Look at what He's doing with you and for you today. And know that He is preparing you to serve Him better tomorrow.

Integrity is staying true to your inner voice and having the stillness to actually be able to listen to it.

Motivation For The Day

" A wise man can see more from a the bottom of a well than a fool can see from a mountaintop. "

Personal Story Of The Day

It's All There If You Look For It

The story Silver Blaze by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle centres around a clue of silence. Detective Sherlock Holmes investigates the theft of a prized racehorse, which had been guarded by a watchdog. In gathering evidence, Holmes learns that the dog didn't bark during the intrusion. The detective deduces that the dog knew the culprit, and this leads to solving the crime.

For anyone investigating the identity of Jesus, the Bible holds many clues. One of them is His silence. Centuries before Jesus lived, the prophet Isaiah wrote of Him: As a sheep before its shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth (53:7). The significance of this remained obscure until Jesus was brought before His accusers and answered nothing (Mark 15:3). It's a small but important piece of evidence, especially when combined with other clues: His birth in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2; Luke 2:4), His Davidic lineage (Isaiah 11:10; Luke 3:31), and the casting of lots for His clothes (Psalm 22:18; John 19:23-24). 

These and more than 200 other fulfilled prophecies provide overwhelming evidence of the identity of Jesus. He is the Messiah, the Son of God, the Saviour of all who choose to obey him. Then there are the miracles...

Jokes Of The Day

A man walked into a curio shop and began to browse. He was attracted to a brass rat on a shelf behind the counter. He asked the shopkeeper for a price, and was told to make an offer. Presently they agreed on a price, and the brass rat changed hands. The shopkeeper warned the customer as he took the money, "This sale is final. If you leave the shop with the brass rat, I won't take it back under any circumstances."

The customer agreed and left with the rat. As he walked home, he noticed that a live rat came scurrying out of an alley and began to follow him. Soon there were more, all following him and milling bout his feet. The man began to run, but the rats kept up, and more joined the procession. After a few minutes, thousands of rats were chasing after the man. The man ran frantically for the river, and threw the brass rat into the water. The live rats followed the brass rat, and soon all had drowned.

The man returned to the curio shop, and on seeing him enter, the shopkeeper shouted, "I told you, the sale was final! You cannot return the brass rat!" The customer replied, "That's no problem. I just wondered if you had a brass mother in law in stock."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day


An Example Of Faith

And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive... because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. Joshua 6:25. References from Joshua 2:1-24.

Like Jethro, the news of the Lord's deeds in Egypt and the conquest of Canaan had reached Jericho. But unlike Jethro, Rahab and Jericho's residents were terrified. Yet like Jethro, Rahab came to acknowledge the Lord and seek His favour. The spies were sent to find any weakness in the heavily fortified city of Jericho, even though God had already promised to give them the land. There's a bit of humour in this account, for while the spies are hiding at Rahab's, she is the one who declares the faithfulness and power of God! After their encounter with her, however, they gain confidence that the Lord is indeed delivering the land into their hand, despite their own apparent fears (see Josh 1).

When we first read about the conquest, it doesn't seem like a blessing to the nations, especially the conquered ones. But we need to keep a few things in mind. First, these nations could have responded as Jethro and Rahab did, and indeed, there may have been other individuals who acknowledged the Lord God. Second, the wickedness of these nations was great and many refused to acknowledge God as the Creator. So, the conquest was intended to drive out evil from the land. 

We must also remember that the focus at this point is on establishing Israel as a great nation, from which the covenant promises could go forth. As we look at Rahab, however, we see clear evidence of God's forgiving hand. Due to her faith, Rahab was welcomed into God's people. Later we find out that King David was a descendant of Rahab (Matt 1:5-6). Eventually, this line led to Jesus Christ! Further to this, in Hebrews 11:31 and James 2:25 Rahab is held up as an example of faith... God's blessing is for all who have faith.


Respect Your Elders 

And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent. And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them. Exodus 18:7-8.

Rodney Dangerfield (the actor) was the original "I don't get no respect" man. No matter how hard he tries, no one shows him any respect. Some of the elderly could voice the same complaint. As more people are living longer, they are becoming the victims of everything from physical abuse to con artists' scams. This differs significantly from the respect Moses showed his father in law. Even though Moses was the leader of a great host of people, he bowed before Jethro as a sign of humility and kissed him as a sign of affection. And in the midst of the many needs of a demanding people, he took time to share with Jethro all the events that had transpired since he had seen him last.

As we deal with the elderly, we must do so with patience and compassion. Most of them have made significant sacrifices to raise their families, to defend their country and to make an honest living. In their golden years they deserve to be treated with respect. If you have elderly parents, take time to be involved in their lives. Listen to their stories (even if you've heard then a hundred times before); sympathize with their aches and pains; look for opportunities to make their lives a little easier. If your parents are no longer alive, perhaps there is an elderly neighbour or someone at church who could benefit from your attention. 

We are not judged by how we treat the strong and powerful but by how we respect the weak and helpless. Besides, having made an investment of time and interest in an elderly person, you may discover that the return on your investment was greater than the investment itself.
