Good morning, Isn't today wonderful ?

Scripture Of The Day
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.Psalms 101:7
Read The Bible In a Year
Jeremiah 15-17 ; 2 Timothy 2Thoughts For The Day
One day in heaven the unseen, infinite God will graciously make Himself visible to us. We will see Jesus and live in His light (Revelation 21:23). But seeing Him will be seeing God, for He is God. What a blessed prospect!I believe we must first recognize that God in His essential being is pure Spirit (John 4:24), and therefore is invisibly present everywhere in His vast creation (Psalm 139:7-12). But we read in the Bible that on various occasions God appeared to people in a visible way (Genesis 18:1-3). He created a burning bush from which to challenge Moses (Exodus 3:2). And further, the glory of His presence was revealed, and "there was under His feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone" (Exodus 24:9-10). God can appear in any form He desires, even while He Himself remains invisibly present throughout the universe.
Man is distinguished from all other creatures by the faculty of laughter.

Personal Story Of The Day
Real Life Experience
Job's calamities were enormous. His oxen and donkeys were stolen. Fire consumed his sheep. Raiders took his camels. But that was just the beginning. A great wind destroyed the house where his sons and daughters were feasting, and they all perished. His loss seemed unbearable! But notice Job's response. He humbled himself and worshiped God (Job 1:20).
On April 2, 1977, the sky north of Olivet, Michigan, grew black and ominous. Just another severe thunderstorm, thought Norm Heddon. But when pressure began building in his ears, he instinctively rushed down the basement stairs which took about 5 seconds. Then it happened his house exploded into thousands of pieces from a killer tornado. Minutes later when Norm emerged, he couldn't believe his eyes. All his earthly goods had been swept away, but miraculously his family was unhurt.

Bowing in prayer, they thanked God for His goodness. Heddon said, "He has a hand in everything that happens to us."
It is not our expectation that our life will always be full of bad events, as that is not the way it is. However, there are some people who will face serious and devastating events in their lives, like Job and others. The Lord's promises are there for all of us and are just as effective.... even when extreme events are occurring. People like Job have demonstrated to us that their way of faith is effective through all of life's issues, not just the good and not just the bad times.

By anchoring our faith in the power, love and wisdom of God, we can say through tears or joy, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want".

Jokes Of The Day
An Ford pulled alongside a Holden at the traffic lights. "Do you have a car phone?" its driver asked the man in the Holden."Of course I do," was the haughty reply.
"Do you have a fax machine?"
The Holden driver sighed. "I have that too."
"Do you have a wide screen Tv in the back?" the Ford driver wanted to know. Ashen-faced, the Holden driver sped off.
That afternoon, he had a mechanic install a wide screen Tv in his car.
A week later, the Holden driver passed the same Ford, parked on the side of the road with its windows fogged up and steam pouring out. The arrogant driver pulled over, got out of the Holden and banged on the Ford's rear window. "I want you to know that I've had a huge Tv installed," bragged the Holden driver.
The Ford driver rolled his window down and frowned at the Holden driver. "You got me out of the shower to tell me that?"

A film crew was on location deep in the desert. One day an Old Indian went up to the director and said, "Tomorrow rain."
The next day it rained. A week later, the Indian went up to the director and said, "Tomorrow storm." The next day there was a hailstorm. "This Indian is incredible," said the director. He told his secretary to hire the Indian to predict the weather. However, after several successful predictions, the old Indian didn't show up for two weeks.
Finally the director sent for him. "I have to shoot a big scene tomorrow," said the director, "and I'm depending on you. What will the weather be like?"
The Indian shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know," he said. "Radio is broken."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Friends With GodNobody likes a sore loser, but a gloating winner is just as bad. Edom had watched with glee as Jerusalem was sacked by its enemies, and the Edomites had done nothing to help their relatives in Israel. In God's eyes their refusal to interfere was itself an act of aggression. Although the relationship between the two nations had never been good, the Edomites did share a blood tie with the people of Judah. When they stood by while strangers carried off Jerusalem, they were no better than one of the aggressors (Obadiah 1:11).
Edom's sin was threefold.
First, they regarded the plight of the people of Jerusalem with an attitude of contempt.
Second, they expressed outright glee over the city's destruction, celebrating while the residents of Jerusalem suffered.
Third, they took the opportunity to boast--perhaps bragging that their own location made them impregnable (v12). But there was more to Edom's response than passive aggression. They entered the city themselves to loot what was left. They also lay in wait for those who had fled from Jerusalem and killed them or even handed them over to the enemy (13-14).
The judgment of Edom was a living example of the warning found in Proverbs 24:17-18 'Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him'. The destruction of Jerusalem was a matter of divine discipline. They deserved the punishment that they received. But Edom's gleeful response made them liable as well. Obadiah warned that God had seen this sinful attitude and would turn His wrath from Jerusalem to Edom.
Jesus gave the positive counterpart to the command of Proverbs 24:17 when He instructed us to love our enemies and pray for those that persecute us (Matt 5:43-45). The secret, of course, is to recognize that this is what God has done for us through the promises contained in the gospel of Christ. He has made those who were once enemies of God... His friends.
The Long Way
Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6.
Jesus speaks of Himself as the way. In Acts the disciples were referred to as the Way. Christian life itself is a long journey on a long road that winds its way through life. Sometimes it passes through green pastures, sometimes through dry plains and deserts. Sometimes it leads over high and steep mountains or through narrow mountain passes. Sometimes it divides. Sometimes it runs parallel to another road.
Sometimes it is difficult to know which road is the right one. There are so many choices, and the possibility to go astray always exists. Sometimes the road becomes narrow and no one seems to walk on it. Sometimes the road is wide and filled with happy travellers. Sometimes the road almost disappears, like an overgrown path in remote bushland. Sometimes the slope is so steep that the only way to ascend is by climbing from one overhang to the next.

Sometimes the scenery is so breathtaking it seems unjustifiable to go on. Sometimes it is so miserable we are tempted to turn back. Sometimes the road encourages us to move ahead. Sometimes it is uninviting and hostile.
The opinions and attitudes of fellow travelers can make the journey either pleasant and refreshing or depressing and aimless. Most of all, it seems the road just keeps getting longer. In the beginning, when motivation abounded, it did not appear so long. But toward the end, the road seems so rough and demanding that just putting one foot in front of the other is enormously draining.

Next to the road are countless rest stops from where 'worldly wise' and superficial people idly watch and ponder why you travel on such a difficult road. But something causes you to carry on.
What is the name of the road? Jesus Christ... the way... the truth... the life! Where does it lead? Home! Home to heaven. And suddenly that road, which seemed so long, becomes so short. And then the journey is over.
