You can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something.It's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.
Ignorant people are very broadminded: they are always willing to give careful consideration to both sides of the same side.

Personal Story Of The Day
Avoid Bitterness
Great emphasis is being placed on living longer and better. Advances in medical science are making it possible for more and more people. Yet in spite of this, none of us can avoid growing old. One day aging will overtake all of us, and our bodies will shut down. What is preventable, however, is an attitude of bitterness and regret as we grow older.
Look at the life of Moses. When he was 120 years old, he stood with the Israelites before they crossed the Jordan River and entered the Promised Land. He could not go with them because he had disobeyed the Lord when in anger, he struck the rock in the wilderness (Numbers 20:12,24).
How easily Moses could have slipped into a self-pitying and resentful frame of mind! Had he not borne the burden of a stubborn and stiff-necked people for 40 years? Had he not interceded for them time after time? Yet at the end of his life he praised the Lord and urged a new generation of Israelites to obey Him (Deuteronomy 32:1-4,45-47). As we grow older, we can dwell on the failures and hardships of our past, or we can remember God 's faithfulness, accept His discipline, and keep looking to the future in faith. It's the only way to avoid a bitter attitude.
Jokes Of The Day
A man took his Rottweiler to the vet and said to the vet: "My dog's cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for it?""Well" said the vet "lets have a look at him"
So he picks the dog up and has a good look at it's eyes.
"Well" says the vet "I'm going to have to put him down"
"Just because he's cross-eyed?" says the man.
"No, because he's heavy" says the vet.

Last summer, my husband, took me camping for the first time. At every opportunity, he passed along outdoor-survival lore. One day we got lost hiking in the deep woods. He tried the usual tactics to determine direction -- moss on the trees (there was none), direction of the sun (it was an overcast day), etc., etc.
Just as I was beginning to panic, he spotted a small cabin off in the distance. He pulled out his binoculars, studied the cabin, turned and led us right back to our camp. "That was terrific," I said. "How did you do it?" "Simple," he replied. "In this part of the country all the TV satellite dishes point south."

A squad of American soldiers was patrolling along the Iraqi border. To their surprise, they found the badly mangled dead body of an Iraqi soldier in a ditch along the road.
A short distance up the road, they found a badly mangled American soldier in a ditch on the other side of the road, who was still barely alive. They ran to him, cradled his blood-covered head and asked him what had happened.
"Well," he whispered, "I was walking down this road, armed to the teeth. I came across this heavily armed Iraqi border guard. I looked him right in the eye and shouted, "Saddam Hussein is an unprincipled, lying piece of trash!" He looked me right in the eye and shouted back, "Bill Clinton is an unprincipled, lying piece of trash too!"
"We were standing there shaking hands when the truck hit us."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
...a great multitude... stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; Revelation 7:9. References from Revelation 7:9-12; 21:22-27.
New Year's Eve is a huge night of celebration around the world. But no earthly celebration comes even close the scene in Revelation 7, which is perhaps the most exalted vision in the New Testament. Those who have suffered persecution and tribulation are given the incomparable honour of joining the elders, angels, and four living creatures who worship before the throne. Notice the astounding diversity and unity of this multitude.
Here we find representatives of all the nations, tribes, peoples, and languages joined in praise, no longer separated by prejudice, fear, and language barriers. This glorious scene shows God's plan of redemption accomplished. The promise given in the garden (Gen 3:15) ultimately pointed to this eternal praise. We also see the fulfilment of the promise to Abraham. Through the descendants of this one individual, truly all the nations will be blessed. Because of the one Seed of Abraham (Gal 3:16), Jesus Christ, redemption has been accomplished and the rightful Heir has taken His throne.
Revelation 21 shows us the final destination to which God's redemptive story leads. Here we find the New Jerusalem, solely illuminated by the light of God's glory. We see the promise of Isaiah 49:6, that Israel would be a light to the Gentiles, at last fulfilled (v23). What an exciting conclusion of the story that we all live for. Rejoice as you consider your own place in this great story and its certain, victorious conclusions.
Wonder How?
But Abram said, "Lord God, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?" Then Abram said, "Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!" And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, "This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir." Genesis 15:2-4.
Let's learn to distinguish between doubt and unbelief. Doubt is 'can't believe'; unbelief is 'won't believe'. Doubt is honesty; unbelief is rejection. Doubt is looking for light; unbelief is being content with darkness. When God promised to bless him (Gen 15:1), Abraham responded, "How are you going to do it?" This was not a lack of faith, because Abraham believed God was going to keep His promise; he simply didn't understand how God would do it.
Since "blessings" were always believed to come through children (Ps 127:3-5), and Abraham had none (nor from a human perspective did it look like he would have any), he inquired as to how God was going to do it. God honoured that question and told him, One who will come from your own body shall be your heir. Abraham was satisfied. The case was closed. It's not wrong to ask questions about God's ways; it's only wrong to question the rightness of God's plan.
There's a subtle but important difference here. It's only natural for people to want to know, "God, how do You plan to pull this off?" In essence, Abraham said, "I'm to be the father of a great nation, and yet I have no children. I know You can do it, Lord. But I'd sure like to know how." If you're wondering how God will work His will and His way in your life, it's perfectly legitimate to ask. But always ask in faith. Feel free to question how God is going to work out His plan, but never question His ability to work out that plan. The first is inquiring faith; the second is faithless unbelief. Doubt asks how; unbelief asks why.
