Personal Story Of The Day
May The Words Of My Mouth And The Meditation Of My Heart...
We would prefer that a person says what they truly mean. Anything else is hypocrisy, which is of very little value and leads to trust issues.
As a spirit filled person, it is essential that our lives, actions and words reflect who we are, otherwise we will confuse people. Integrity cannot come from a confused or deceitful heart. To develop integrity, begin with the prayer of Psalm 19:14: 'May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer'.
Think about how this prayer would benefit your testimony, keeping you from the confusion of hypocrisy and making you a person of integrity.
First, God knows when your words and your heart match and when they don't. He wants both to be the same; anything else is unacceptable to Him. Second, a person of integrity is the same on the inside as on the outside. Third, when we please God, our words and meditations will match.
Since we want to please God all the time, our words and thoughts will match all the time. The result will be honourable before God and man. this is pleasing to God because it means your life is better placed to represent the spiritual values hidden from the world. So, what are you thinking? Does it match what you are saying?

One morning a blind bunny was hopping down the bunny trail, and he tripped over a large snake and fell, KerPlop!, right on his twitchy little nose. "Oh, please excuse me!" said the bunny. "I didn't mean to trip over you, but I'm blind and couldn't see."
"That's perfectly all right," replied the snake. "To be sure, it was MY fault. I didn't mean to trip you, but I'm blind too, and I didn't see you coming. By the way, what kind of animal are you?"
"Well, I really don't know," said the bunny. "Since I'm blind, I've never seen myself. Maybe you could examine me and find out."
So the snake felt the bunny all over, and he said, "Well, you're soft, and cuddly, and you have long silky ears, and a little fluffy tail, and a dear twitchy little nose. YOU must be a BUNNY RABBIT!" And the little blind bunny was so pleased he danced with joy.
Then he said, "I can't thank you enough, but by the way, WHAT kind of animal are YOU?"
And the snake replied that he didn't know, and the bunny agreed to examine HIM, and when he was finished, the snake said, "Well, what kind of an animal am I?"
The bunny replied, "You're hard, you're cold and you're slimy...
"You must be a politician."

During the "rush hour" at Houston's Hobby Airport, my flight was delayed due to a mechanical problem. Since they needed the gate for another flight, the aircraft was backed away from the gate while the maintenance crew worked on it. We were then told the new gate number, which was some distance away. Everyone moved to the new gate, only to find that a third gate had been designated for us.
After some further shuffling, everyone got on board, and as we were settling in, the flight attendant made the standard announcement, "We apologize for the inconvenience of this last-minute gate change. This flight is going to Washington, D.C. If your destination is not Washington, D.C., then you should 'deplane' at this time."
A very confused-looking and red-faced pilot emerged from the cockpit, carrying his bags. "Sorry," he said, "wrong plane."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
God Is Gracious
...saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. Acts 3:25. References from Genesis 12:1-8.
Victor Hugo's 'Les Miserables' is the telling tale of the convict Jean Valjean who, upon his release from prison, finds himself graciously taken in by a godly bishop. Hardened by years of deprivation and crime, Valjean robs the bishop of some silver candlesticks and flees. Later, Valjean is caught and brought back to the bishop. Valjean, anticipating judgment and punishment, is surprised when the bishop graciously gives him the candlesticks. This marks a new beginning in Valjean's life.
Yesterday we read about the great Flood that came as judgment upon a spiritually sick and corrupt humanity. If we were to continue in Genesis, we would come to the sad account of the Tower of Babel. As we noted, Genesis 3 to 11 records one long descent into unbridled sin. The tower represented the height of human arrogance, rebellion and defiance, so it's surprising to read of Gods gracious call of Abram in Genesis 12. Without excuse, the nations were judged for their ungodliness, but beyond judgment was God's grace.
In choosing Abram, God declares his intention to offer a better covenant with humanity. Just as God spoke creation into existence, God begins his great new work of redemption by speaking once again (v1-3). No doubt it was very difficult for Abram to leave all he knew in order to go to an unknown place. But this initial command is followed by six statements of what God promises to do for Abram, beginning with making him a great nation and giving him a great name.
God also promised to make Abram a blessing to all peoples on the earth.
Through this one man, God would extend His grace (covenant) to the rest of the world. The call of Abram begins the central story of the Bible, namely, how God will work to redeem lost humanity and to restore His people back to the safety of fellowship with Him.
The Godly Mentor
And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand. Exodus 17:9.
Webster defines a mentor as a "trusted counsellor or guide." Who comes alongside you not to control, but to advise. They a source of wisdom and counsel. They do not live your life for you, but gently guide you through the potholes and the obstacles so that you can live successfully. Mentoring may be a new concept for many Christians today, but it's an old idea grounded in biblical practice.
Moses acted as a mentor to Joshua. He advised and trained this young man in all areas of life until, when it was time to receive the mantel of leadership, Joshua was ready.
The Church today also needs to amplify to the practice of mentoring. Paul was a mentor to such young men as Timothy and Titus, whom he called "sons" (1Tim 1:2,18; 2Tim 2:1; Titus 1:4). To the senior women of the church he commanded, the older women likewise, that they... admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed (Titus 2:3-5).
If you are mature in the faith, find someone of the same gender who would be interested in learning from your experiences. If you are a new Christian, seek out the companionship of a believer who demonstrates by the fruit in their life that they have an active relationship with Christ and then seek their help. This is God's plan for leadership training. Every Christian should either be mentored or be a mentor... or both.
