Scripture Of The Day
And blessed is [he], whosoever shall not be offended in me. Luke 7:23.Read The Bible In a Year
2 Kings 4-6; Luke 24:36-53.Thoughts For The Day
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
Enthusiasm is the inspiration of everything great. Without it no man is to be feared, and with it none despised.

Personal Story Of The Day
Servicing Your SpiritSome people fastidiously maintain their vehicles, doing all the right things on schedule. They change the oil every 10,000 kilometres, rotate the tyres and check the brake pads. They even follow the inspection guide in their owner's manual, going to the dealership at the prescribed times for preventative car care.
The rest of us wait for the oil light to come on. There's nothing like the red glow on the dashboard to encourage us to build our relationship with a mechanic! And we wince when asked, "When was the last time you...?" Our typical answer is, "I was meaning to take care of that just the other day."
When something goes wrong, we seek help; when things are fine, we don't. We may live that way in regard to our cars, but we should never be like that with our relationship with the Lord. When Asa was king of Judah, the prophet told him, 'The LORD is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.' (15:2).
That is plain enough... but he ignored this wonderful promise. It was in their distress they turned to the LORD. (v4). Sadly, we are more prone to turn to the Lord in a time of distress than any other time.
God desires that we always look to Him, in good times and in bad, as well as all times in between. If today is a day of distress for you, turn to Him. He will not reject you. Then, make it the habit of your life. Don't wait for the "red light" to come on first.
For those who are mature in the Lord, these thoughts are what you will teach others because they are now an automated practice in your life as you seek to encourage others on a daily basis!
Jokes Of The Day
One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice,"Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?" The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug.
"I can't dear," she said.
"I have to sleep in Daddy's room." A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice:
"The big sissy."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Let's Boast About God In Us.
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. James 4:17. References from James 4:13-17.
There's certainly nothing wrong with wanting to be organized. But today's verses warn us about the danger of thinking we can get our lives so put together that we're no longer open to what God may have in store for us. Earlier, James challenged our pride by calling for a reversal of our values from the world (1:9-11).
Instead of prizing wealth, we are instructed to value life in God. Now we return to themes of wealth and pride and find a more direct approach: we can often take pride in our success and make great boasts, not only about what we have done but even about what we think we will do (v13).
This rebuke is probably directed at rich believers, for those in business could relate to these sentiments. However, in our modern world, all people are rich by the standards being addressed here... people love to talk about what they are going to do next and how they hope to achieve it.
It's also noteworthy that such boasting can be a misuse of our tongues. There is no place for such pride and boasting in the Christian life (v16). Our boasting should always be in what God is doing in our lives.
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Daniel 12:2.
In a cemetery in Hanover, Germany, is a grave covered with huge slabs of granite and marble and fastened with heavy steel clasps. It belongs to a woman who did not believe in the resurrection of the dead. Yet she directed in her will that her grave be made so secure that if there were a resurrection, it could not reach her. In time, however, a seed began to grow and push its way out from beneath the slabs. As the trunk enlarged, the stones were gradually shifted and the steel clasps were wrenched from their sockets.
The dynamic life force contained in that little seed is only a faint reflection of the tremendous power of God's creative word that someday will call to life the spirit of all the bodies of those in their graves. Willing or not, they will be resurrected. A messenger from God revealed this same truth to Daniel. As this angelic messenger opened the door to the hallway of time, he revealed to the prophet many things: the rise and fall of various kingdoms, the invasion of the army from the North and, ultimately, the resurrection of the dead.
For those who are prepared, whose names are written in the Book of Life, it is a resurrection to everlasting life. For those unprepared, it is a resurrection to everlasting shame and contempt. This Old Testament message is also echoed throughout the New Testament.
The apostle Paul declared that "the dead in Christ will rise first" (1Thes 4:16), while the apostle John saw the dead who were "judged, each one according to his works" at the end of the millennium (Rev 20:13).
There is no way that you can avoid the resurrection, but you can be ready for it. Make sure that your name is written in the Book of Life... walk in the Spirit; after all, you were given the power to do so.
