" He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet. "

Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.

No matter how much you disagree with your kin, if you are a thoroughbred you will not discuss their shortcomings with the neighbors.

Motivation For The Day

How can you expect God to speak in that gentle and inward voice which melts the soul, when you are making so much noise with your own ideas? Be silent, and God will speak again.

Personal Story Of The Day

A Nudge In The Right Direction

There's an old legend about three men who were crossing a desert on horseback at night. As they approached a dry creek bed, they heard a voice commanding them to dismount, pick up some pebbles, put them in their pockets, and not look at them till the next morning. The men were promised that if they obeyed they would be both glad and sad. After they did as they were told, the three mounted their horses and went on their way. 

As the first streaks of dawn began to spread across the sky, the men reached into their pockets to pull out the pebbles. To their great surprise, they had been transformed into diamonds, rubies, and other precious gems. It was then that they realized the significance of the promise that they would be both glad and sad. They were happy that they had picked up as many pebbles as they did, but sorry... so sorry... that they had not collected more. 

I wonder if we will have a similar feeling when we meet the Lord. We will be happy for the treasure we laid up in heaven while on earth, and joyful for the rewards Christ will give us. But we will also experience regret for not having done more to serve Him. Let's make the most of our opportunities so that we'll be more glad than sad.

Jokes Of The Day

A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, 5, and Ryan, 3. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my brother have the first pancake. I can wait.' Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, 'Ryan, you be Jesus.'

Riddle Of The Day

My teeth are sharp,I'm ready to feed,I come out at night, To fulfill my need, There are movies about me, I can be seen on T.V., I can hunt by myself,
And my prey almost always flees. What am I?

Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
I have been around for hundreds of years, I can have a varying number of hands, There are many versions of me, I do the same thing day after day, People would miss me if I were gone, What am I?
A clock

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16. References from Mark 7:24-30. 

As we read today's scriptures, at first we might think that Jesus was confirming an existing prejudice. But was Jesus really calling Gentiles dogs? We need to understand exactly what Jesus meant in His encounter with this woman. First, note that this happened near Tyre. We know from the Old Testament that Tyre was especially hated by Israel (see, for example, Ezek 26-28). So Jesus' encounter with this woman was designed to instruct both her and Jesus' disciples, who must have wondered how He would respond to a woman from Tyre. 

Jesus' initial response probably encouraged the disciples, apparently confirming the idea that Gentiles had no part in God's plans. However, the key to Jesus' response is the word 'first'. He didn't say that she would leave empty handed, but rather that the children, meaning the Jews, must eat first. Here Jesus confirmed that His primary purpose was to Israel. It would only be after His death and resurrection that the gospel would fully go out to the Gentiles. This was later confirmed by Paul (Rom 1:16). This woman immediately understood what Jesus meant. Notice that she only asked for some of the crumbs that fell to the ground. 

She grasped the secondary place of the Gentiles in God's plan, but she also recognized that second place was miraculous and full of blessing. She also refused to take no for an answer! She was desperate to save her daughter. The woman got more than a crumb; her daughter was fully delivered. The beginning of Mark 7 records Jesus' discussion of clean and unclean. By placing this discussion before the account of this Greek woman, Jesus showed that even Gentiles were not unclean and that no one was beyond God's salvation.


The Greatest Calling

Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Genesis 12:1-3.

An oil company needed a skilled public relations man for its office in Asia. After interviewing several candidates, the officials decided to ask a local missionary to take the position. Company executives met with this man of unusual gifts. Whatever they proposed, however, his answer was always "no." "What's wrong?" asked one interviewer. "Isn't the salary big enough?" The missionary replied, "The salary is big enough, but the job isn't." 

Abraham was faced with a similar option. He could have stayed in Haran and become a leading citizen. As a natural born leader, he may have become ruler of the city. Most certainly, as a clever businessman, he would have become wealthy and lived in luxury and ease. But all that was insignificant compared to what God had in mind for him. By obeying God's call, he became a blessing to the whole world. 

God still calls people today, but you also may be facing alternatives. Another position may offer a bigger salary, a bigger office or less hassle. Don't be fooled. Seek God's direction. Wherever He is calling you will bring the greatest blessing... to you and to those around you. When God calls, accepting anything else is a backward step.
