Scripture Of The Day
For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. Psalms 38:15.Read The Bible In a Year
2 Chronicles 28-29; John 17.Thoughts For The Day
It isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.No matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.
Motivation For The Day
Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.On This Day

Personal Story Of The Day
Good Habits
Old habits die hard, but it seems at times as if old habits hardly die. Habits are called such for good reason... they are so ingrained that we do them without thinking. Sometimes a habit is not a matter of what we do but what we think. God showed Peter that he was to go to the house of Cornelius, even though it meant going into the home of a Gentile.
Avoiding contact with Gentiles was one of those habits that would die hard, or hardly die, so Peter had to explain his actions (Acts 11:1-18). Even after acknowledging that it was of God, that Gentiles were granted repentance unto life (11:18), the church struggled with accepting Gentiles into their midst.
At the meeting in Jerusalem held to discuss the situation, Peter said that God made no distinction between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith (15:9). He also pointed out that their attempts to put a yoke on the necks of the Gentiles was actually a way of putting God to the test. Still, it remained a problem, one Paul later would address as he wrote of the oneness we have in Christ (see Eph 2:14).
People had a tendency to reject Gentiles because they were perceived as sinners... many today reject people with weaknesses in the same way. The old habit of rejecting sin is commendable... but to reject the sinner for no other reason, is an offence to God.
Jokes Of The Day
Cats regard people as warmblooded furniture.************************************
A guy walks into a post office one day to see a middle-aged, balding man standing at the counter methodically placing "Love" stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. He then takes out a perfume bottle and starts spraying scent all over them.
His curiosity getting the better of him, he goes up to the balding man and asks him what he is doing. The man says, "I'm sending out 1,000 Valentine cards signed, 'Guess who?'"
"But why?" asks the man.
"I'm a divorce lawyer," the man replies.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Offering Of Great Mercy
O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; Daniel 9:19. References from Daniel 9:1-19.
In The USA, they have a National Day of Prayer the first Thursday of every May, as designated by President Ronald Reagan in 1988. Prayer events involving millions of people are organized at courthouses, city halls, parks, and other public places. This tradition of public prayer dates back to the Continental Congress's nationwide call to prayer in 1775. It might be something that all nations could observe.
Daniel understood and acted on a similar vision in today's verses. As a young man, he had been taken in exile to Babylon and had a long career there as a civil servant and prophetic interpreter of dreams. In chapter 9, the Medes and Persians had just conquered Babylon, confirming God's prophecy through dreams from chapters 2 and 7. This encouraged Daniel to search for more information.
When he found Jeremiah 25:11-12, which prophesied the Exile as lasting seventy years, he knew the time must be drawing to a close and he got on his knees. Earnestly, he pleaded for God to relent and bring the punishment of Exile to an end. This punishment had lasted his entire adult life, and the whole time he had kept the faith, and wasn't bitter or self-righteous.
He identified with the sins of his people and repented on their behalf. The sackcloth, ashes, and fasting show us the deep intensity of his prayer. He admitted the fairness of God's judgment and praised Him for His covenant-keeping faithfulness, righteousness, justice, and love. He knew that God's character was the only effective basis for his petition to be granted: We do not make requests of God because of our righteousness, but because He offers great mercy (v18).
Key to Health
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. Exodus 15:26.
Millions of people are exploring alternatives to traditional Western medicine. Such approaches as biofeedback, autogenics training, kinesiology, bioenergetics, reflexology, stress management, homeopathy, naturopathy and macrobiotics are just a few of the possibilities. But God offers the real key to health; it's called obedience. God told the Israelites if they would "give ear to His commandments" and "keep all His statutes," they would avoid many of the illnesses that plagued the people of Egypt.
This was not a matter of "buying" their obedience; it was a matter of natural consequences. By avoiding sin, they would avoid the unhealthy results of sin as well. This principle still holds true today. We know a great deal about breaking God's laws, but we really only break ourselves when we defy God's laws. By living contrary to God's commandments, we expose ourselves to many more diseases than ageing and accident alone.
It is God's will that you treat your body as the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:19). Don't take it anywhere or expose it to anything that you know to be contrary to God's law. Get appropriate rest, eat healthy food and reduce stress. Obedience is the key. Living in harmony with His commandments will avoid many illnesses and make others easier to overcome.
