Scripture Of The Day

Read The Bible In a Year
Psalms 123-125 ; 1 Corinthians 10:1-18Thoughts For The Day
If you are to be, you must begin by assuming responsibility. You alone are responsible for every moment of your life, for every one of your actionsNot every successful man is a good father. But every good father is a successful man
Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.

Personal Story Of The Day
God Is Patient With Us
On the second time the multitudes were fed, it's Jesus who points out the need for food. The previous time the need was brought up by the disciples. Just as before, however, they appeal to their apparent inadequacy. Their question, 'Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?' is responded to with a question: How many loaves do you have? Five loaves and two fish were more than enough before.
Their collective lunch this time is seven loaves, a few small fish and Jesus. It is amazing to see how slow the disciples were to understand His power. They had not yet learned the lesson from the previous miracle when the 5,000 were fed. No wonder Jesus at times called them men of little faith. Once again the disciples were confronted with their inability.
Once again, He had them state how much food they had. This provided the evidence that what followed was truly a miracle. Once again they saw Jesus' ability. Like the disciples, sometimes we are slow learners. We need to keep our faith growing. Our faith grows as we feed on the Word, learning what it says and living it daily.
Keep reading, learning and living the Bible.

From the Cat's diary :
Day 2,483 of my captivity... My captors continued to taunt me with bizarre
little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am
forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of
escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from clawing the furniture.
Tomorrow I may eat another house plant.
Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they
were walking almost succeeded - must try this at the top of the stairs. In
an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again
induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair - must try this on their
bed
Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in an attempt to
make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear in their
hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I
was. Hmmm, not working according to plan.
There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was in solitary
throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food.
More important, I overheard that my confinement was due to my powers of
inducing "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my
advantage.
I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog
is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously
a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant and
speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to
his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured.
But I can wait; it is only a matter of time...
************************************
A man goes to the doctor and tells him that he hasn't been feeling well.
The doctor examines him, leaves the room and comes back with three different bottles of pills.
The doctor says, "Take the green pill with a big glass of water when you get up. Take the blue pill with a big glass of water after lunch. Then just before going to bed, take the red pill with another big glass of water."
Startled to be put on so much medicine the man stammers, "Jeez doc, exactly what's my problem?"
Doctor says, "You're not drinking enough water."
************************************
Two guys were at a bar talking about how highly their wives thought of them.
The first guy said, "My wife, she thinks so much of me that she won't let me do any work around the house. It's incredible."
The second guy says, "That's nothing. My wife thinks I'm God."
"She thinks you're God? What makes you say that?"
"Easy. Every night she places a burnt offering before me."

Riddle Of The Day
Mary's parents have four children, north, south and east. Whats the fourth childs name?Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
Never speaking, still awake, Pleasing most when most I speak, The Delight of old and young, Tho' I speak without a Tongue. Nought but one Thing can confound me, Many Voices joining round me; Then I fret, and rave and gabble, Like the Labourers of Babel. Now I am a Dog, or Cow, I can bark, or I can low, I can bleat, or I can sing, Like the Warblers of the Spring. Let the Love-sick Bard complain, And I mourn the cruel Pain; Let the happy Swain rejoice, And I join my helping Voice; Both are welcome, Grief or Joy, I with either sport and toy. Tho' a Lady, I am stout, Drums and Trumpets bring me out; Then I clash and roar, and rattle, Join in all the Din of Battle. Jove, with all his loudest Thunder, When I'm vext, can't keep me under; Yet so tender is my Ear, That the lowest Voice I fear; Much I dread the Courtier's Fate, When his Merit's out of Date, For I hate a silent Breath, And a Whisper is my Death. Jonathan Swift, (1667-1745)
An Echo
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Dining With The LordThere's a story about an old chief sitting before a flickering fire with his grandson. The boy had broken a tribal taboo, and his grandpa wanted to help him understand what made him do it. "It's like we have two wolves inside us," said the chief. "One is good, the other is bad. Both demand our obedience." "Which one wins?" asked the boy. "The one we feed!" said the wise old chief.
Every Christian can identify with that struggle. We fight an ongoing battle with selfish and sinful desires. They rise up within us and put incredible pressure on us to satisfy them. They are like ravenous hungers and unquenchable thirsts. First they are small "harmless" desires, but they grow stronger and can ultimately control us (Romans 6:16). To resist we must believe what the Bible tells us about the pressures of temptation. We must also believe that the Holy Spirit will help us to resist or to break free from its power.
These temptations are faced in all the major disciplines in life, they are not just a Christian problem. However, for us, it is much more than just making choices. The hardest thing is to deny the desire at its peak... when an evil desire demands to be fed. This is where we must say no... perhaps again and again and again. Turn to your bible and read a few verses, give God a chance to bless your heart or mind... that is always empowering and even more so when it becomes a way of life.
Paul said, "Make no provision for the flesh" (Romans 13:14). Remember, what we feed will control us.
Looking For Wisdom?
But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. Job 28:12, 28.
A young man got into financial difficulty by loaning a friend $500. He neglected to ask his friend to sign a written note. He didn't even ask for a receipt indicating the amount loaned. When the young man needed his money back, he realized he had nothing with which to document his claim. In desperation he turned to his father for advice. After a moment of consideration, the father said, "Write him and say you need the $1,000 you loaned him. "The young man said, "You mean $500." "No, said the father, you say $1,000, and he will immediately write back that he owes you only $500. Then you will have it in writing." The son followed his father's wisdom and the problem was solved.
Job, too, was perplexed by his situation. He had been a righteous man, yet now it seemed as though his world was falling apart. He felt the need for wisdom. "But where," he asked, "do I find it?" The God he trusted gave him the answer: It is in the fear of (respect for) the Lord. Only to the degree that those who seek wisdom are willing to respect God will they be motivated to apply the truths that He shares with them.
If earthly fathers can give wise counsel, how much more so can our Heavenly Father? But to gain true benefit from that counsel we must have reverence toward the One who gives it. Unless we respect the source, we 'll never value the product. We not only need to hear, but we also need to respond. If you are looking for wisdom today, the best source you'll ever find is as close to you as your Bible. God speaks clearly through His Word to give you the guidance you need for your daily life... keeping in mind that wisdom is one of the gifts that can be triggered by faith. Thus if you respect Him, obey what He says and take note of his benefits, he will reveal the best answer to you.
