Scripture Of The Day
The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. Psalms 6:9.Read The Bible In a Year
Genesis 20-22; Matthew 6:19-34.Thoughts For The Day
Ours is a world where people don't know what they want and are willing to go through hell to get it.A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
It is no profit to have learned well, if you neglect to do well.

Personal Story Of The Day
Call In The Experts.
Members of failed businesses will rarely be asked to join faltering companies. Instead, skilled professionals are called into ailing businesses to help get them get back on their feet. The same need for dramatic change exists throughout society. People who can reverse the downward spiral in an individual's life, a relationship, or a team, are constantly in demand. But what about changing the world?
Many people would say that only God can do that. And that's exactly what He sent His Son to do. The Bible describes humanity's downward spiral by saying that the entire world was imprisoned by sin and "in bondage" (Galatians 3:22; 4:3). Into that hopeless situation Jesus came to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the 'adoption as sons' (4:5).
The turnaround for us begins when we accept and act upon God's offer of eternal life.
The New Testament shows us how to receive His Spirit (life force superior to our own) into our bodies (v6). Rather than simply being given a new set of rules and sent off on our own, we are adopted into God's family by being filled with the Holy Ghost and power.
We are expected to exercise this knowledge and power in a way which benefits others. And surprisingly, we are asked to put the needs of others first, as opposed to our own. Why? because serving others creates a spiritual reaction which sees God caring for us in a way which never happens when we are self-serving.
The best way to get God's attention is to start serving someone else. Even more so when that someone is a person of much lesser significance to our way of thinking. Jesus Christ is the ultimate turnaround expert. He specialises in impossible cases. Will you invite Him into your problem today?
Jokes Of The Day
A juggler, driving to his next performance, is stopped by the police. "What are these matches and lighter fluid doing in your car?" asks the cop."I'm a juggler and I juggle flaming torches in my act."
"Oh yeah?" says the doubtful cop. "Let's see you do it." The juggler gets out and starts juggling the blazing torches masterfully.
A couple driving by slows down to watch. "Wow," says the driver to his wife. "I'm glad I quit drinking. Look at the test they're giving now!"

Two youth group members were sitting and talking. Their conversation drifted from fasting to cooking. "I got a cookbook once," said the first, "but I could never do anything with it."
"Too much fancy cooking in it, eh?" asked the second.
"You said it. Every one of the recipes began the same way: 'Take a clean dish and...'
************************************
A man goes into a pet store looking for a monkey. "I don't want any old monkey," he says to the store owner, "I want one that can do something special." The store owner points towards three identical looking monkeys in politically-correct, animal-friendly natural mini-habitats.
"The one on the left costs $500," says the store owner.
"Why so much?" asks the customer.
"Why so much?" asks the customer.
"Because it can program in C," answers the store owner.
The customer inquires about the next monkey and is told, "That one costs $1500, because it knows Visual C++ and Object-Relational technology."
The startled man then asks about the third monkey. "That one costs $3000," answers the store owner.
"3000 dollars!!" exclaims the man. "What can that one do?"
The owner replies, "To be honest, I've never seen it do a single thing, but it calls itself a Consultant."
The owner replies, "To be honest, I've never seen it do a single thing, but it calls itself a Consultant."

Riddle Of The Day
Walk on the living, they don't even mumble, step on the dead, they mutter and grumble. What is the thing that is muttering and grumbling?Answer to Yesterday's Riddle
There was this black dog in the middle of a black road all the houses are black and the moon and stars weren't out. The power was out in this town and a guy whose headlights were out was driving down the road and almost hit the dog but he swerved just in time. How did the man see the dog?
It was daylight.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Especially For You
Flee fornication. 1 Corinthians 6:18. References from the Song of Solomon 7:11-13.
One of the many tragic side effects of a promiscuous lifestyle is that it can lead to sexual boredom in the marriage relationship. Ironically, the notion that marriage makes love-making boring, is one of the myths used to justify a promiscuous lifestyle. In a healthy marriage the opposite is true. As the relationship deepens, so does the couple's enjoyment of the physical dimension of their marriage.
The above verses continue the Song of Solomon's revelation of sexual love within the context of marriage. The bride promises to give her love to her groom. She declares,' At our door is every delicacy, both new and old, that I have stored up for you, my lover' (v13 modern translation). This beautiful image depicts sexual love as something rare that has been saved for the bride's husband alone. It is a cherished treasure, hidden away until the proper time.
The bride's imagery also suggests that those in a healthy marriage should expect the pleasures of physical intimacy to increase rather than decrease with time.
She promises to give her husband choice delicacies both new and old. If marriage leads to sexual boredom, it is not the institution but the nature of the couple's relationship that is flawed. Sexual pleasure should never be squandered. God did not intend for us to share this gift outside of our partner. Instead, like Solomon's bride, it is something to be protected until it can be offered as a gift to the one for whom it was originally intended.
Gold Rush!
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. Proverbs 8:10.
"Go west, my son, go west!" You might remember the old American black and white western movies about going west to 'pan for gold'? You might remember the scenes about excited and eager men panning for gold in a stream.
They used a pan with a screen in the bottom to screen out the sand or dirt and keep in the gold that was there. Every once in a while, you'd see a little gold. But there rarely was a big nugget.
Those BIG nuggets had to be mined. Otherwise, they had to be satisfied with the little pieces of gold they found in the streams. The Word of God is like a gold mine. You can search through it quickly, giving it sort of a hit and miss attack, and you will come away with a few small pieces of gold. But, if you sit and study the Word daily, researching the words in the scripture, you will soon find that the nuggets will get larger day by day.
If you keep up this studying of the Word, you will soon have the big nuggets of truth that are only obtained by 'digging'.
