Personal Story Of The Day
Our Eternal Friend And Comforter
David also knew a time of grief and suffering when he said, 'I am a reproach among all my enemies, but especially among my neighbours... I am forgotten like a dead man' (Psalm 31:11-12). Perhaps you've known times when friends seem to forget you in your sorrow. They fail to ring, or text, nor do they offer prayer. But those are the times when we can sense God's tenderness most deeply.
When the days are long and lonely and no one seems to care, He seeks us out and surrounds us with loving kindness. Our sorrow, far from burdening Him, draws out His tender compassion. He knows the troubles of our soul. And He cares. Thus, we can commit our spirit into His hand, as our Lord Jesus did when all forsook Him and fled.
He invites us to give our burdens and cares to Him, because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). Trust God to care for you today.
Jokes Of The Day
A man was walking along the beach and found a bottle. He looked around and didn't see anyone so he opened it. A genie appeared and thanked the man for letting him out.The genie said, "For your kindness I will grant you one wish, but only one."The man thought for a minute and said, "I have always wanted to go to Hawaii but have never been able to because I'm afraid of flying and ships make me claustrophobic and ill. So I wish for a road to be built from California to Hawaii."
The genie thought for a few minutes and said, "No, I don't think I can do that. Just think of all the work involved with the pilings needed to hold up the highway and how deep they would have to be to reach the bottom of the ocean. Think of all the pavement that would be needed. No, that is just too much to ask."
The man thought for a minute and then told the genie, "There is one other thing that I have always wanted. I would like to be able to understand women. What makes them laugh and cry, why are they temperamental, why are they so difficult to get along with? Basically, what makes them tick?"
The genie considered for a few minutes and said, "So was that a two lane road or four?"
************************************
Two blondes are walking in the desert. One is carrying a lamppost, the other one has a telephone booth.
'Why are you carrying a telephone booth?'
'When the lions come, I put it down, get into it and I'll be safe'.
'And why are you carrying an lamppost?'
'When the lions come, I'll throw it away, so I can run faster.'
************************************
A faith healer ran into his old friend, Max and asked him how things were going.
"Not so good, was the pained reply. "My brother is very sick."
"Your brother isn't sick," contradicted the faith healer, "he only thinks he's sick. Remember that, he only thinks he's sick."
Two months later they met again and the faith healer asked Max:
"How's your brother now?"
"Worse, groaned Max, "he thinks he's dead."

Riddle Of The Day
I make you weak at the worst of all times. I keep you safe, I keep you fine. I make your hands sweat, and your heart grow cold, I visit the weak, but seldom the bold. What am I?Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
This thing runs but cannot walk, sometimes sings but never talks. Lacks arms, has hands; lacks a head but has a face. What is it?
A clock.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
For even here unto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 1Peter 2:21. References from Mark 14:1-52.
How was Christ able to approach the pain of the cross and all that surrounded it with such assurance? The answer is found in Jesus' knowledge of God's plan. Even though His disciples had difficulty grasping the inevitability and significance of Christ's suffering, our Lord did not shrink back from the pain that was soon to come. He understood that it was part of His destiny.
His acceptance was not the result of fatalism. Rather, it came from His knowledge and faith that His Heavenly Father would use that suffering to purchase our redemption.
Jesus did not enjoy suffering. He looked forward to all that His suffering would accomplish but not to the actual suffering itself. On the night of His betrayal and arrest our Lord agonized in the Garden of Gethsemane to such an extent that He was overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death (v34).
When the Greek text describes Jesus' state of mind, it uses terms that speak of alarm and great distress. At that time He looked for comfort from His disciples and through prayer. He even prayed and asked that, if at all possible, He be spared suffering.
The secret to His calm acceptance of His fate is found in the qualifying phrase of Christ's prayer: Not what I will, but what you will (v36). His obedience to the Father's will reflected more than a submissive attitude. It was grounded in the confidence that His suffering was part of a divine plan. It was not suffering merely for the sake of suffering. Nor was it suffering in vain. Christ suffered for a purpose: For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God (1Peter 3:18).
To See Is To Believe
I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. Job 42:56.
All of his life, John Wesley had been very committed. He got up at 4A.M. and prayed for two hours. He would then read the Bible for an hour before going to the jails and hospitals to minister to all kinds of people. He would teach, pray for and help others until late at night.
A turning point for Wesley came, however, when he found his way to a chapel on Aldersgate Street in London. He heard a man reading a sermon that described a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Wesley suddenly realized that he was trusting his good works. That night he wrote in his journal: "About a quarter before nine, while he described the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone, for salvation; and an assurance was given me that He had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death."
John Wesley was spirit filled, as were many of his congregation. They did not have the experience and numbers of blessed people that we have... nor did they enjoy the clarity of sound and expanding doctrine.
Job also had been a pious man. Even God pointed him out as an extraordinarily righteous individual. But apparently something was lacking. He had heard about God and had been obedient to the degree that he knew how. But when he met God in the whirlwind, a new dimension was added to his life. God was no longer simply what he had heard about; He was now someone Job had personally experienced. Those who grow up in the church often spend their early years hearing about God.
Based on what they hear, they may lead a moral life and feel they know Jesus Christ. Yet they have had no personal encounter with Him outside of their initial receiving of the spirit; having not yet stepped out and used the spirit and powers within them in an effective way.
He is the God of their heads but not their hearts. Make sure that your faith is not based merely on what you think you have heard. Step out in faith and start seeking the gifts and opportunities to use them. Allow the Lord to become a real person in your life, not just someone you've heard about. Jesus came seeking you (Luke 19:10); now it's your turn to seek Him.
