Personal Story Of The Day
The Pain Of Love
This real experience of a lady in our fellowship, illustrates how love makes the one doing the loving, vulnerable. She was a devoted wife who deeply loved her husband, but after 8 years and two children he left her for another woman. Her faith in God and her love for her children kept her going. Today, her son is living outside of the Lord, and her daughter has abandoned her husband and children. Neither of them will have anything to do with their mother.
The prophet Hosea suffered a similar heartbreak because of his adulterous wife Gomer. What he experienced reflects how God must have felt when His people turned to pagan idolatry and all the wickedness associated with it. God had been like a loving husband and father to them, but they had rejected His love. Although His plan for humanity required correction and judgement, He also felt deep anguish. Centuries later, the Spirit of God came to earth in the person of Jesus, who endured the rejection and betrayal of his friends -bearing their sins and the sins of the whole world on the cross.
Despite his display of love and the ongoing offers of salvation, many people still reject Him. Yes, love is vulnerable, and there are no guarantees that it will be returned! But God continues to love, and in His strength we can do the same.
Jokes Of The Day
A newlywed farmer and his wife were visited by her mother, who immediately demanded an inspection of the place. While they were walking through the barn, the farmer's mule suddenly reared up and kicked the mother-in-law in the head, killing her instantly.At the funeral service a few days later, the farmer stood near the casket and greeted folks as they walked by. The pastor noticed that whenever a woman would whisper something to the farmer, he would nod his head yes and say something. Whenever a man walked by and whispered to the farmer, he would shake his head no and mumble a reply.
Curious, the pastor later asked the farmer what that was all about.
The farmer replied, "The women would say, 'What a terrible tragedy' and I would nod my head and say, 'Yes, it was.' The men would ask, 'You wanna sell that mule?' and I would shake my head and say, 'Can't. It's all booked up for a year.'"

A young lady came home very sad from a date. She told her mother, "Anthony proposed to me an hour ago." "Then why are you so sad?" her mother asked. "Because he also told me he is an atheist. Mom, he doesn't even believe there's a Hell."
Her mother replied, "Marry him anyway. Between the two of us, we'll show him how wrong he is."

Riddle Of The Day
Paul: what room has no walls, no ceiling and no floor?Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
This thing all things devours; Birds, beasts, trees, flowers; Gnaws irons, bites steel; Grinds hard stones to meal; Slays king, ruins town, And beats high mountain down.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Learning how to rejoice
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Philippians 4:4. References from Philippians 4:4-7.
Rejoicing in the Lord does not mean we are not to rejoice in all of God's natural blessings for us as well. We can trace them all back to the goodness of the Lord. We are told to rejoice in the wife of our youth, in food on the table and full refrigerators, in oil to anoint the face, in deliverance from dangers, toils and snares, in arriving home at a journey's end, in healthy newly born babies and in long life, in feasts and birthdays, in the victorious end of just wars, in recovery from illness (successful chemotherapy and operations), in a harvest safely gathered in, in examinations passed, and jobs obtained.
When you have found a delightful present for a family member at the right price you rejoice. When you find something at last that you have searched for half the morning you rejoice. When you look through some old photograph albums, or your phone and see the children as they used to be, and all the joy of earlier times comes flooding back, you rejoice. We join with the world in rejoicing in those things.
Rejoicing for us is gratitude to a living personal God who is the author of such blessings and ten thousand more. A friend met a man recently who seemed to regard everything in the world as a bad joke played on us, whether in business, politics or a host of other things. This cynical man said of life in general that he thought it was a cosmic joke. As they parted this Christian said to him, "I hope you're not banking on life being just a cosmic joke." All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above.
Tempted by the Blessings
Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no. Exodus 16:4.
Many temptations come in the guise of hardship, illness or some other unpleasant experience... but not all of them. The good times can be just as much a test as the bad times. When the people of Israel reached the Wilderness of Sin, they were unable to find food. This hot, barren wasteland offered nothing that would sustain a multitude of people. But God used this experience to teach His children to trust Him. He graciously supplied a heavenly food that looked like a dewdrop, which the people called "manna." This miraculous gift was more than just a blessing, however. It was also God's chance to see whether they would walk in His law or not.
Being obedient in the midst of plenteous blessings is often more difficult than when we are experiencing a multitude of problems. Pleasures can easily dull our spiritual ears so we no longer hear the Lord saying, "This is the way, walk in it" (Isa 30:21). A lack of trials lulls us into a false sense of security and leaves us vulnerable to the attacks of Satan. It's no wonder that some people claim it's easier to survive poverty than wealth. Agur, the writer of Proverbs 30 prayed, "Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.'" (v8-9).
If you are experiencing a time of blessing, that's wonderful but be sensitive to the potential for danger. Temptation doesn't stop just because the trials have ceased. The need for obedience is constant whether the sun shines or not.
