Personal Story Of The Day
A Job Well Done
Similar to the proverbial satisfaction of a 'job well done' is the experience of being able to 'look them straight in the eye'. There is something about unblinking eye contact that communicates both truthfulness and determination.
When we know we are right, we will stand up straight, look the other person in the eye and say, I know I am right. To do that in regard to our job or obligations is important, but all of these pale in comparison to being able to say, I have fulfilled my duty to God.
Paul did all of the above. He looked his accusers, the Sanhedrin, in the eye and said, with truthfulness and determination, "I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day." Acts 23:1. He knew he had done right, and not even the authority of this group would make him back down. Often we look at this verse and think in terms of the confrontation between Paul and his accusers but overlook the insight it gives into Paul's character.
He knew he had done what God wanted... and could look anyone straight in the eye and say so. His conscience was clear before God and man, despite his fears and failings.
It was the testimony of a truly, well-lived life. Knowing and doing the will of God is the great aspiration of a Christian's life, but far too often we just fit it in around what we want to do instead. If you were put on the defensive like Paul, what statement could you make? Do you live in such a way that you could say, I have fulfilled my duty to God?
Jokes Of The Day
In the traffic court of a large Midwestern city, a young lady was brought before the judge to answer for a ticket given her for driving through a red light. She explained to his honor that she was a schoolteacher and requested an immediate disposal of her case so she could get to the school on time.A wild gleam came into the judge's eyes. "You're a schoolteacher, eh?" he said. "Madam, I shall realize my lifelong ambition. I've waited years to have a schoolteacher in this court. Now sit down at that table and write 'I will not drive through red lights' 500 times!"
************************************
In a murder trial, the defense attorney was cross-examining the coroner:
Attorney: Before you signed the death certificate, had you taken the pulse?
Coroner: No.
Attorney: Did you listen to the heart?
Coroner: No.
Attorney: Did you check for breathing?
Coroner: No.
Attorney: So, when you signed the death certificate, you weren't sure the man was dead, were you?
Coroner: Well, let me put it this way. The man's brain was sitting in a jar on my desk. But I guess it's possible he could be out there practicing law somewhere.
************************************
A man in a hot air balloon realised he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted,
"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an Hour ago but I don't know where I am."
The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees North latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."
"You must be in Information Technology," said the balloonist.
"I am," replied the woman, "how did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is probably
Technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information
And the fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip."
The woman below responded, "You must be in Management."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot Air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep,and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems.
The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met,
but now, somehow, NOW, it's all my fault."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Being Moved By God
We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD. Psalm 78:4. References from Exodus 18:1-27.
In Exodus 18, we find another individual, Jethro, Moses' father in law, who was profoundly moved by hearing what God had done in the lives of others. Somehow word of the Lord's victory over Egypt spread to Jethro, just as it spread to Rahab (as we'll see in tomorrow's post). Sometime after Moses had returned to Egypt, he sent his Midianite wife, Zipporah, and his sons back to his father in law's place.
It's possible that Zipporah told her father about the events of the Exodus, but the Bible is not clear about this, nor about why and when Zipporah and the sons returned to Midian.
What is clear is that Jethro was eager to see Moses again. Both Rahab and the nations mentioned in Exodus 15:14-16 were terrified by this news, but Jethro rejoiced to hear everything that the Lord had done for Moses and his people (v1) and sought out Moses. After Jethro heard first hand from Moses of the Lord's faithfulness, he praised God and confessed that the Lord is greater than all other gods (v11).
Jethro learned from the account of the plagues and the Exodus what the Egyptians were intended to learn, namely that there is only one true God. And Jethro praised and worshiped the Lord.
This account gives us a good insight into God's plan for the nations as they hear all that He has done. It is perhaps ironic that Jethro, a Midianite, had a better grasp of what God had done for the Israelites than they themselves had (this is also the same reason why the Gentiles are now receiving the Holy Spirit in large numbers).
Exodus 16 and 17 record the constant grumbling of those who were eye witnesses of the remarkable events of the Exodus (we again see the problems are no different than those who don't respect being useable members of the modern day church)! History truly repeats itself, because history is a reflection of human nature at work... outside of the Holy Spirit, it also never changes.
Family Reunion
Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back, And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land: And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh: And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God: Exodus 18:2-5.
SYDNEY: A 4-year-old girl who went missing from an Australian outback campsite more than two weeks ago has been returned safely to her parents after she was rescued by police from a locked house, where her kidnapper kept her. One of the officers picked her up into his arms and asked her ‘what’s your name?’. She said ‘My name is Cleo’, The Western Australian commissioner said... “What a great day. We now have returned Cleo to her loving parents. It’s a wonderful day for this little girl and her loving family,”
Have you ever been separated from your family? If you have ever been apart from your family for any length of time, you know how difficult it is. Moses also had been separated from his family. Zipporah, his wife of 40 years, and his two sons had been sent back to the land of Midian while he returned to Egypt to lead Israel to freedom. With that challenge behind him, Moses was ready to be reunited with his loved ones... and Jethro was gracious enough to bring this about. While Scripture gives no details, you can imagine what a joyful reunion it was.
As Christians we also have the joy of anticipating a very special reunion. Scripture says, "And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord" (1 Thess 4:16-17).
Now that's a family reunion! Someday we'll experience a reunion that never ends... once the job is done.
