Personal Story Of The Day
The Parable Of The SowerIn Luke 8, Jesus used a parable to teach us that the seed of the Word of God will produce a harvest in good soil. But the seed can only be productive if the soil is receptive. People with receptive hearts hear God's Word, obey it, and bear fruit. Others, however, have resistant hearts choosing other priorities for their lives. They do not allow the seed to take root.
Some have a very short attention span, and the seed has nothing to work with or are overgrown with the cares and temptations of life. Thus, many of the writings in the bible are encouragements about disciplines that allow good choices to be made and flourish. The holy spirit needs something to work with. That is why time needs to be spent in spiritual preparation... things like prayer, fellowship, reading the word and serving people's spiritual needs are very effective.
The main point which many people miss, is the most important observation in the parable. The soil is the choice we make ourselves. it is not pre-determined by God, rather it is based on the choices we live by. Good soil comes from good choices and the opposite is also true.
The last observation we can make, reveals that we can be differing soils at different times, depending on the different choices we make during our lifetime. The only choice that sustains us and produces the wonderful fruit of righteousness and contentment... is a good choice.
God's Word is good seed. The Holy Spirit is the fertiliser... It's up to you to be the soil of your choice!
God's Word is good seed. The Holy Spirit is the fertiliser... It's up to you to be the soil of your choice!
Jokes Of The Day
Some Advice Concerning Children:If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle: "Take two aspirin" and "Keep away from children."
You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 years telling them to sit down and shut-up.
Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your children.
Mothers of teens know why some animals eat their young.
Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word-for-word exactly what you shouldn't have said.
The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own.
I 'child-proofed' my home 25 years ago and they're still getting in!
Anyway, be nice to your children, they might choose your nursing home someday.

A man appears before the pearly gates. "Have you ever done anything of particular merit?" St. Peter asks. "Well, I can think of one thing," the man offers. "Once I came upon a gang of high-spirited bikers who were threatening a young woman. I directed them to leave her alone but they wouldn't listen. So I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker. I smacked him on the head, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring. threw it on the ground, and told him, "Leave her alone now or you'll answer to me.'" St. Peter was impressed. "When did this happen?" "A couple of minutes ago."
************************************
The Indians asked their Chief in autumn, if the winter was going to be cold or not. Not really knowing an answer, the chief replies that the winter was going to be cold and that the members of the village were to collect wood to be prepared.
Being a good leader, he then went to the next phone booth and called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is this winter going to be cold?"
The man on the phone responded, "This winter was going to be quite cold indeed."
So the Chief went back to speed up his people to collect even more wood to be prepared. A week later he called the National Weather Service again, "Is it going to be a very cold winter?"
"Yes", the man replied, "it's going to be a very cold winter."
So the Chief goes back to his people and orders them to go and find every scrap of wood they can find. Two weeks later he calls the National Weather Service again: "Are you absolutely sure, that the winter is going to be very cold?"
"Absolutely" the man replies, "the Indians are collecting wood like crazy!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Doubt Is ContagiousThen saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. John 20:27.
Here Jesus both encourages and reprimands Thomas. Doubt had taken over in Thomas' mind. Everything he previously had experienced became unreal. It may have even been that the one person he cared about the most, a person he considered infallible, had actually died and not saved himself as they might well have expected.
Doubt always casts a dark shadow over what God has done. Thomas doubted his faith and himself, which only made the situation worse. Suddenly God was far away; it was almost as if He no longer existed. Darkness has a tendency to paralyze our hearts, destroy courage and quickly spread from one person to the next.
But when the Lord comes, reality is restored. Nothing can restore like a fresh encounter with God. Thomas experienced the lifting of doubt and life began to surge through him again. An encounter with the living God always halts the fears of doubt. He is real. He is risen. He is now within us! Jesus meets Thomas right where he is. He knows the fearful thoughts that doubt had caused in his sorrowful and confused mind.
It seemed, after all, that everything had gone so wrong. Jesus, who was supposed to be king and Messiah, had died and disappeared. And when His physical presence was no longer felt, doubt crept in. But now, when He returned, risen from the dead, Jesus destroyed the doubt. 'Reach your hand here, and put it into My side, and doubt no more'. Jesus' wounds can heal even the sickness of doubt and stop it from spreading.
Then Jesus spoke about Thomas' future: Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed. In the future, Thomas, you will not always be able to see, feel or experience My presence. But believe in Me, and believe My Word. Remember, they all doubted not just Thomas, but God took the extra time to comfort a good friend.

Thomas was not the only one who doubted, but he was the one who Jesus personally comforted. We now are all blessed with the same personalised blessing... the Holy Spirit dwells within each of us.
Doubt is highly contagious but an overcoming testimony is even more so.
Only one devotional today.
