Personal Story Of The Day
Lightning The LoadOne measure of our spiritual maturity is the way we respond when things go wrong. If we give in to despair, doubt God's existence, or strike out at some innocent person, we have some growing up to do. Explorer Samuel Hearne (1745-1792) was on an expedition in northern Canada when a crucial piece of charting equipment broke. So he had to turn back. Then, thieves stole most of his supplies.
Hearne responded in an unexpected way. In his journal he wrote, "As the ravagers had materially lightened my load... this part of the journey was the easiest and most pleasant of any I had experienced since my leaving the fort."
Back in the first century, as the apostle Paul travelled from town to town proclaiming the gospel, he faced opposition and desperate situations (2Corinthians 4:8-10; 11:23-33). Time and time again he found help and hope by turning to the Lord. It is the joy the Lord gives us by answering prayers and being part of our lives that lightens things up. Unlike the rest of the world... we have the ability and right to cleanse our conscience from all wrong.

The Holy Spirit is the burden-bearer and we are the message-bringer... when we walk in the Spirit.
How about you? How did you respond the last time something went wrong? Did you fall apart? If so, you need to ask God for patience and a positive perspective to handle life's setbacks in a mature Christian way (James 1:2-5). When things go wrong, ask God for strength and wisdom. Then thank Him for working to increase your faith.

Jokes Of The Day
"My wife is an interior decorator. She wants to get rid of me because I clash with the drapes."************************************
The difference between a violin and a viola is that a viola burns longer.
Long lines of people were waiting at the Pearly Gates to have their credentials checked before gaining admittance. St Peter was supervising. Two old priests were standing near the head of one line when St Peter suddenly rushed towards the back and brought an attractive blonde to the front. There was no checking anything, she was allowed straight through.
The priests looked at each other wondering. St Peter said, "Six months ago she bought a bright red sports car. Since then she's put the fear of God into more people than you have in your whole lives."
A man went to a Catholic hospital for surgery on his throat. When he came to afterwards, a nun was sitting by his bed. "We'll need to talk about how you are going to pay for this operation." She said. "Have you any money with you?" "No." he croaked. "Any savings?" "No." "What about relatives who could help?" "My only sister is a spinster. She's a nun." he replied.
At this the nun drew herself up and indignantly said, "We are not spinsters! We're married to God!"
"Well," the man said, "if you want the money, ask my brother-in-law."

A picky customer comes to a small food shop and sees a new delivery of fresh fruit. "Give me two kilograms of oranges and wrap every orange up in a separate piece of paper, please," he says to the saleswoman. She does.
"And three kilograms of cherries, please, and wrap up every one in a separate piece of paper, too." She does.
"And what is that there," he asks pointing out a bushel basket in the corner.
"Raisins," says the saleswoman, "but they are not for sale!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Quiet Splendour of GentlenessBut the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Galatians 5:22-23
Proverbs 15:1 reads: 'A soft' answer turns away wrath'. There is an amazing softness and flexibility in gentleness. When young men grow up, they can become as cocky as roosters. Their insecurity combines with pride and creates a hard, frosty exterior. This exterior needs to be polished off throughout the ensuing years, or the person may end up failing to mature.
Gentleness rounds off the sharp corners. Gentleness calms the mind. Gentleness does not see life primarily as a competition, and it has no need to always be ahead or always be best. Gentleness is not some unique personality trait, even though it is often associated with those who are quiet, mild and rather harmless. Gentleness as a fruit of the Spirit stems from a person's spirit and not from emotions.
A loud, active person with a colourful personality may very well have gentleness as a fruit in his life. Gentleness is not sentimental, over-emotional or generally nice. A person characterized as nice, might well be selfish. He might refuse to take a stand, give in to pressure and avoid confrontation by taking the easy way out. When he agrees with others, he appears tolerant and becomes popular. But this is not the gentleness of God.
Gentleness is like a mother's tender hand. Gentleness is connected to God's character and consequently contains steadfastness. It has the ability to soothe flared-up emotions and release a conciliatory spirit that breaks the deadlock of confrontation. God's gentleness stems from His mercy. Gentleness does not hit the one who is already down, but heals, dresses, comforts, mends and strengthens. Gentleness does not break a bruised reed (an already troubled person), but strengthens weak knees.

An Atmosphere of Unbelief
And He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Matthew 13:58.
Even for Jesus, it was difficult to do many great miracles under certain conditions. In this passage it is apparent that to perform miracles, Jesus was dependent upon the faith of the people. During hundreds of years, the Western World has worked on developing a worldly faith, based on natural reasoning and ability. We are surrounded by skcepticism concerning anything that is Godly and supernatural.
This is nothing more than lack of faith. And this lack of faith has spread out like a huge blanket, smothering all that is supernatural of God. In such an atmosphere, it is not easy for those who preach what Jesus preached. They are scorned and questioned. If they persevere, they might not see much result of their faith at first, and others then use this as proof that they are exaggerating. However, it is an atmosphere of unbelief, that makes it difficult to see the miraculous. Therefore, the people's hearts must be changed first.
If Jesus experienced lack of faith as opposition, it is not strange that we also can encounter the same. This fact can actually be of great comfort to us. At the same time, we must strive to transform the atmosphere and continue to prepare the ground for signs and wonders. Our personal testimony goes a long way to achieve that goal.
In your own life we must decide not to allow the natural to overtake the supernatural. We cannot allow the worldly to replace the spiritual, or the know-it-alls to despise the miraculous. God is, and will remain, a God of wonders, regardless of how open we are at the moment. And what we see at the moment is not constant; it is continually changing.
Let us therefore believe that an atmosphere of unbelief can be changed. Believe that opposition and unbelief can be broken, so that the Holy Spirit will have a free run to do what He wants to do in every person's life... to perform miracles, save souls and reveal the true nature of what Jesus Christ stood for.
