Personal Story Of The Day
God's Pay Day
The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness: for the LORD delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD'S anointed. 1Samuel 26:23.
David knew that God someday will repay every man for his righteousness and his faithfulness. This realisation prevented David from slaying Saul when he had the chance. He could have taken advantage of Saul 's helplessness, but instead he did what was right. David chose the way of righteousness and faithfulness. You can be sure that God is no man's debtor.
When we walk in righteousness and faithfulness, we can be sure that God will repay. It may happen on earth, but most certainly our greatest rewards will be when we get to heaven. If we seek to do what is right in God 's sight and to serve Him faithfully wherever He calls us, we can safely leave the rewards to Him. God will never disappoint us. If you are discouraged by a lack of recognition or appreciation, remember that God will repay your righteousness and faithfulness.
Even if He waits until you get to heaven, you can be confident that someday will be pay day. Remember, you aren't home yet!
Jokes Of The Day
A little girl and a little boy were at day care one day. The girl approaches the boy and says, "Hey Tommy, want to play house?"He says, "Sure! What do you want me to do?"
The girl replies, "I want you to communicate your feelings."
"Communicate my feelings?" said a bewildered Tommy. "I have no idea what that means."
The little girl smirks and says, "Perfect. You can be the husband."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
From The Pit To The Mountain Top.
He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. Daniel 2:22 References from Genesis 40-41.
Convicted of murder in 1984, Darryl Hunt spent 18 years in a North Carolina prison. But recently DNA evidence led the police to another man, who confessed to the killing and testified that he acted alone. A judge voided the charges against Hunt, the governor issued a pardon and the wronged man became eligible for financial compensation. Finally, my innocence is recognized, he said. For so many years I have been trying to prove my innocence only to be told I was lying and to finally have it official means a lot.
Joseph must have had a similar feeling when he was finally released from prison. Unjustly accused and imprisoned, he was handed a golden opportunity to interpret dreams for Pharaoh's baker and cupbearer. As with Daniel, quoted in the above verse, God gave him the interpretations so that He would receive blessing in a pagan land (40:8).
Both interpretations came true... one man was executed, the other pardoned. We might naturally think the pardoned man would support Joseph regain his freedom? Surely that was God's plan? Once he regained his job, however, the cupbearer forgot all about Joseph, who languished in jail for two more years. From a human point of view, God's intervention and Joseph's faith had failed. But from God's point of view, He was saving Joseph for the main event...
Pharaoh had a dream, and the pieces of the puzzle started to come together. The wise men of Egypt could not interpret it, and in the midst of this crisis the cupbearer finally remembered Joseph. Brought before the king, with everything to lose, Joseph boldly gave God the credit (41:16), correctly interpreted the dream as a warning of famine, and even made a policy recommendation about gathering and rationing food.
Impressed, and discerning the spirit of God in this young man, Pharaoh appointed him a high court official, perhaps like a Prime Minister or Minister of Agriculture (v37-40). Joseph was only thirty years old... it had been thirteen difficult years since his teenage dreams. In the blink of an eye, God's power had taken him from the bottom to the top!
Giving Good When Getting Evil
And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil. And thou hast shewed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me: for as much as when the LORD had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst me not. 1 Samuel 24:17-18.
David chose to let God be his example. When Saul entered a cave to attend to his needs, he didn't know that David and his 400 men were hiding in the recesses of that cavern. David had him at a severe disadvantage and his men urged him to seize the opportunity to take revenge on his enemy. But David refused. Rather than seeking to repay Saul for the evil he had done him, he secretly cut off a piece of Saul 's robe (as proof of what he could have done) and allowed the king to leave without knowing how close he had been to death.
Only later did Saul realize the mercy David had shown. God 's way is to show mercy rather than extract vengeance. Romans 5:8 says, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Even while we were God's enemies, He had compassion for us and provided a way of salvation. Are you thinking about getting even with someone? Don't do it. Try God 's way instead. Return good for evil. Someday you 'll be glad you did.
