Personal Story Of The Day
There Is Always A Good Reason
Job did the same thing, although with more than one word. His 'why' questions are spelled out in detail, and in chapter 3, he came as close as he ever would to cursing God. Instead, he asked a series of rhetorical questions. 'Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?' he asked. (Job 3:23). Tough question! He felt hemmed in, but no longer by God's protection. Instead, he felt hemmed in by trouble.
The way was hidden to him, made no sense to him, and no way out was apparent to him. So he asked, "Why?" Job never would get his question answered. Instead, God demonstrated His glory to Job and he was so affected by it that he repented, regretting that he asked why in the first place (42:6).
At times we all feel hemmed in and wonder why. In those times we must trust that God is in charge, faithfully in control.
Jokes Of The Day
Two cannibals meet one day. The first cannibal says, 'You know, I just can't seem to get a tender Missionary. I've baked them, I've roasted them, I've stewed them, I've tried every sort of marinade. I just can't seem to get them tender.'The second cannibal asks, 'What kind of Missionary do you use?'
The other replied, 'You know, the ones that hang out at that place at the bend of the river. They have those brown cloaks with a rope around the waist and they're sort of bald on top with a funny ring of hair on their heads.'
'Ah, ah!' the second cannibal replies. 'No wonder you're having problems cooking them......those are friars!'

When Solomon said there was a time and a place for everything he had not encountered the problem of parking his automobile.
************************************
A blonde was driving back from the mall when there was a terrible hail storm. Huge hail stones the size of golf balls pelted her car leaving it full of dents. She drove to the body shop and asked what she should do. The body man explained what needed to be done and that it would cost at least $4,000 to repair. She said that was too much and asked if there was some other way to fix it.
The body man decided to have a little fun and said, "Well you could blow into the tail pipe real hard and they might pop back out." She decided to give it a try before spending that much money.
She drove home and was in the garage with her lips wrapped around the exhaust pipe when her blonde neighbor came over to visit.
"What are you doing?" she shrieked thinking the worst and thankful that she may have just prevented her friend from committing suicide.
"I'm blowing into the tailpipe real hard to pop all these dents out of my car," explained the first blonde.
"Well silly, it's not going to work," replied her neighbor.
"Why not?" asked the first blonde.
"Because you've got to roll up the windows first."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Give God Room To Help YouKeep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, Psalm 17:8. References from Psalm 17.
Supported by His Hand
Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; Isaiah 45:1.
A pastor once shared that when his son was small, they often walked together through the paddocks and pasture behind the family farm. At first the little fellow would hold onto his father's finger, but he found that when he stepped into a hoof print or stumbled over something, his grip would fail and he'd fall to the ground. This happened quite frequently until one day he looked up at his father and said, "Daddy, I think if you would hold my hand, I wouldn't fall."
The early verses of this psalm are a faith-filled call for God to hear and answer. As we've seen elsewhere, David was confident in God's justice... He would vindicate him. David could have this confidence because he had been righteous in thought, word, and deed. He humbly invited God to test and examine him, so this was not a prideful claim. He was willing to submit to the perfect Judge.
He didn't claim to have achieved righteousness on his own, but freely admitted he had avoided the path of sin through following God's Word. David prayed that God would show His love and power in order to demonstrate their special relationship to outsiders. His confidence flowed primarily from this personal relationship, described in various ways: God was his place of refuge.
He was to God the apple of his eye, that is, the student, especially valuable and worthy of protection. God was to him a mother bird, covering a chick with her wings.
Supported by His Hand
Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; Isaiah 45:1.
A pastor once shared that when his son was small, they often walked together through the paddocks and pasture behind the family farm. At first the little fellow would hold onto his father's finger, but he found that when he stepped into a hoof print or stumbled over something, his grip would fail and he'd fall to the ground. This happened quite frequently until one day he looked up at his father and said, "Daddy, I think if you would hold my hand, I wouldn't fall."
The pastor reflected, "You know, he was right. He still stumbled many times after that, but he never hit the ground." Cyrus the Great, the one whom God would use to return His people from Babylon, had the same experience. As a leader he would face many challenges. It was first necessary that he weld two peoples, the Medes and the Persians, into a united kingdom. Accomplishing that, he then set out on a path of conquest that ultimately brought him to Babylon, the city thought to be impregnable. Ingeniously, the river Euphrates was diverted and Cyrus' army slipped into the city through the dried up river bed and conquered it.
Through it all, although Cyrus didn't know it, God held his hand. The future is sure to contain trials and difficulties for you. Maybe you've already encountered some of them. If you try to hold on to God's hand, the likelihood is great that you will slip and stumble. The better solution is to let God hold your hand. Instead of striving and straining, let go and let God hold onto you. Hand over to God and trust Him to keep you secure.
Facts Of The Day
- How come we have two eyes but only see one of everything? Ever hear the phrase "two are better than one"? Having two eyes is certainly better than having just one because two eyes provide us with stereo vision and depth perception -- two things that just eye could not give us. With 2 1/2 inches separating our two eyes, each eye views an object from a slightly different angle. For instance, if you hold up a flower and look at it with just your right eye, the image is different from the image of when you look at it with just your left eye. The right eye sees more of the right side of the flower while the left eye sees more of the left side of the flower. If you placed the two different images on top of one another, they would not match and our vision would be out of focus. However, our brains sort out these varying visual messages from our two eyes, combines the images, and the recreates one three-dimensional image. This is referred to as binocular vision. Just like your look through two lenses in binoculars, humans view the world through two lenses. The eyes of many other animals are placed differently than ours. Many birds have an eye on each side of their head. Each eye sees a completely separate area stretching out on the left or the right. Viewing the world through two eyes provides us with depth perception. When you look at the flower through just one eye, it looks a lot flatter
- Why is blood red? The blood flowing through the arteries, capillaries, and veins of our bodies contains many different materials and cells, each with a different function. Plasma, the liquid portion of the blood, comprises more than half of the blood. Plasma is light yellow in color, and is thicker than water, because it contains many substances, in addition to the actual blood cells. These substances include proteins, antibodies that combat disease, fibrinogen, which helps blood clot, carbohydrates, fats, salts, and others. Red blood cells, or corpuscles, encased in blood vessels, color the blood. Since there are about 35 trillion of these tiny, round, flat discs circulating in one's body at any one time, their sheer number necessarily lends their red color to the blood. As the young red blood cell matures, and takes on an adult form in the marrow of the bone, it loses it's nucleus, and it increases its production of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the red pigment, or color of blood, and contains iron, combined with protein When blood passes through the lungs, oxygen piggybacks on the hemoglobin of the red cells. From there, the red cells carry the oxygen through the arteries and the capillaries to all other cells of the body. Carbon dioxide from the body cells returns to the lungs through the veins in the same manner, by attaching to the hemoglobin. Red blood cells have a life expectancy of approximately four months, before they are broken up, primarily in the spleen, and are replaced by new red blood cells. New cells are continuously generated to replace the old cells that have past their prime, and have been destroyed to make room for the younger generation. Let's not forget that, in addition to red blood cells, we also have several types of white blood cells!
