Personal Story Of The Day

These Things Will All Pass

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has a personal story that sounds familiar to Christians... “I had failed on an epic scale. An exceptionally short-lived marriage had imploded, and I was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless. The fears that my parents had had for me, and that I had had for myself, had both come to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the biggest failure I knew.” 

Nothing here on earth lasts forever, particularly our problems. The Bible tells us the earth will someday melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up (2 Peter 3:10). We need to keep life in perspective. Most of the things we worry about have no eternal significance. The writer of Hebrews was concerned about our perspective. Throughout the book, he keeps our eyes focused on heaven and away from earth. 

Unless our minds are on heaven, we will have little eternal influence on earth. There will come a time when the earth will be shaken, and things that once seemed permanent will be gone (Hebrews 12:27). What you fear most today will be forgotten like yesterday's headlines. What really matters is what you do today that has a touch of eternity about it.

Jokes Of The Day

A Mexican bandit made a specialty of crossing the Rio Grande from time to time and robbing banks in Texas. Finally, a reward was offered for his capture, and an enterprising Texas ranger decided to track him down.

After a lengthy search, he traced the bandit to his favorite cantina, snuck up behind him, put his trusty six-shooter to the bandit's head, and said, "You're under arrest. Tell me where you hid the loot or I'll blow your brains out!"

But the bandit didn't speak English, and the Ranger didn't speak Spanish. Fortunately, a bilingual lawyer was in the saloon and translated the Ranger's message. The terrified bandit blurted out, in Spanish, that the loot was buried under the oak tree in back of the cantina.

"What did he say?" asked the Ranger.

The lawyer answered, "He said 'Get lost, Gringo. You wouldn't dare shoot me.'"

"I have good news and bad news," a defense attorney told his client.

"First the bad news. The blood test came back, and your DNA is an exact match with that found at the crime scene."

"Oh, no!" cried the client. "What's the good news?"

"Your cholesterol is only 3.5."

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

The worried housewife sprang to the telephone when it rang and listened with relief to
the kindly voice in her ear. "How are you, darling?" she said. "What kind of a day are you having?"
"Oh, mother," said the housewife, breaking into bitter tears, "I've had such a bad day.
The baby won't eat and the washing machine broke down. I haven't had a chance to go shopping,
and besides, I've just sprained my ankle and I have to hobble around. On top of that,
the house is a mess and I'm supposed to have two couples to dinner tonight."
The mother was shocked and was at once all sympathy. "Oh, darling," she said,
"sit down, relax, and close your eyes. I'll be over in half an hour.
I'll do your shopping, clean up the house, and cook your dinner for you.
I'll feed the baby and I'll call a repairman I know who'll be at your house to
fix the washing machine promptly. Now stop crying. I'll do everything.
In fact, I'll even call George at the office and tell him he ought to come home
and help out for once."
"George?" said the housewife. "Who's George?"
"Why, George! Your husband!....Is this 223-1374?
"No, this is 223-1375."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I have the wrong number."
There was a short pause and the housewife said, "Does this mean you're not coming over?"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day


Unclaimed

Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17. References from 1 Thessalonians 5:1-18.

A little more than three years ago, someone bought a ticket in a mega lottery. The number picked turned out to be the winner of $4.6 million! Yet this person never showed up to claim their prize, and the ticket expired after one year. The money was already there; it belonged to the person who had the right ticket, it just needed to be claimed. But he or she did nothing and so received nothing. Up until June in New South Wales there was 22 million in unclaimed Lotto prises.

In the same way, the reward of prayer is already ours... it belongs to us by virtue of our faith in Jesus Christ... it just needs to be claimed. Seen from this perspective, to neglect prayer is spiritual foolishness of the highest order... and very wasteful! When we develop a lifestyle of prayer, we tap into the perpetual riches of the God, who sovereignly rules the universe and loves us personally. Always rejoice. Always pray. Always give thanks. No buts, no conditions, no exceptions. As the Nike commercials used to say, 'Just do it'. Why? Because this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus (v18). 

Our natural mind tends to make God's desire for our lives complicated or unexciting. Here is some simple and useable advice: Always rejoice. Always pray. Always give thanks. We should spend our lives pursuing the will of God, making choices which direct our thoughts, words, and actions to joy, prayer, and gratitude. Prayer is at the core of an intimate walk with God, and abiding there is the true and only source of lasting joy, which produces thankfulness for God's blessings. The first thing God did for you was to give you a language of prayer... you spoke in tongues as the spirit entered your body... 'use it or lose it', might be more apt than we realize. Don't leave your treasures unclaimed.


Take Your Rest

Then he said to them, "This is what the Lord has said: Tomorrow is a Sabbath rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. Bake what you will bake today, and boil what you will boil; and lay up for yourselves all that remains, to be kept until morning.'" Exodus 16:23 

In 24 hours, the average adult accomplishes much: his heart beats 103,689 times, his blood travels 270 million kilometres, he breathes 23,040 times, he inhales 438 cubic feet of air, he eats 2 kilos of food and drinks 2.7 litres of liquid, he speaks 4,800 words, he moves 750 muscles, his nails grow 0.0001168 centimetres, and he exercises 7 million brain cells. It's no wonder we need rest!

When God established the laws governing the lives of the Israelite people, He built into their schedule a time for rest. Physically it enabled their bodies to recuperate. Spiritually it reminded them that their salvation was not complete. They needed a spiritual "rest" that would come only when the Messiah would take away their sins. The writer of Hebrews makes it clear that even though the Jewish people practiced Sabbath keeping, the real "rest" was a future event. He declared, "For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. There remains therefore a rest for the people of God" (Heb 4:8-9). 

In the New Testament the command to "remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy" is the only one of the Ten Commandments not repeated... and for good reason. The spiritual rest that the Old Testament saints looked forward to and which the Sabbath represented is now a reality. Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matt 11:28). Taking a day to rest is still an important part of maintaining a healthy body. But it's a physical necessity, not a spiritual law. Now we can rejoice in the true rest which comes through the anointing of the Spirit.
