Intro

Monday, July 6 2026
from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship

Is God part of your Life or parted from your life?


Only 179 days to the year 2027

Scripture Of The Day

Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
Proverbs 27:18

Read The Bible In a Year

Job 32-33 ; Acts 14

Thoughts For The Day

There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.

" He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals. "

Most of the methods that Satan uses to confuse and tempt can be very beautiful and very alert. He seems to be not the enemy of God, but the uplifter and edifier of man.

Motivation For The Day

Do not protect yourself by a fence, but rather by your friends.

On This Day

1189 - King Henry II of England dies and is succeeded by Richard I.
1535 - Sir Thomas More, English statesman and Lord Chancellor, is executed on Tower Hill in London for treason - refusing to accept, officially and publicly, Henry VIII as head of the Church of England.
1865 - British preacher William Booth formed the Christian Mission, later renamed the Salvation Army, in London. Determined to assail poverty and religious indifference with the efficiency of a military organization, Booth modeled his group after the British army, labeling ministers "officers" and new members "recruits." The Salvation Army¹s officers are ordained ministers who have vowed to serve the Army for life. The Army has units in over 80 countries.

Personal Story Of The Day

An Acquired Taste

Two cockroaches decided to visit their favourite restaurant. While the larger of the two was enjoying his meal, the smaller one said, you wouldn't believe the house I just left. It was spotless. The lady had to be a cleanaholic. Everything was immaculate... the sink, the counter, the floors. You couldn't find a crumb anywhere. The other cockroach stopped his munching, looked with some annoyance at his companion, and said, "Do you have to talk like that while I'm eating?" 

This story about roaches can apply to human nature as well. The second letter to the Corinthians shows that Paul's readers had much to learn about clean living. They needed to develop a stronger hunger and thirst for righteousness. So the apostle pleaded with them to turn away from all filthiness (2Corinthians 7:1). He reminded them that God wants His people to separate themselves from spiritual garbage. If cleanness of heart sounds unappealing, perhaps we've been satisfied with the crumbs of our earthly desires. We need to learn to refine and enjoy the flavour of godliness. 

Jokes Of The Day

When Robinson stretched out on the psychiatrist's couch, he was clearly in a bad state. "Doctor," he pleaded, voice quavering and hands twitching, "you've got to help me. I really think I'm losing my mind. I have no memory of what happened to me a year ago, nor even of a few weeks back. I can't even recall yesterday with any clarity. I can't cope with daily life - in fact, I think I'm going insane."

"Keep calm, Mr. Robinson," soothed the shrink. "I'm sure I'll be able to help you. Now tell me, how long have you had this problem?"

Robinson looked up blankly. "What problem?"
************************************

"You have to stay in shape. My grandmother, she started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 today and we don't know where the heck she is."

************************************

A man came home from work and found his three children outside,
still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes
and wrappers strewn all around the front yard.
The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the
house and there was no sign of the dog. Proceeding into the entry,
he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked
over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall.
In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel,
and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.
In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled
on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled
on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of
sand was spread by the back door.
He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles
of clothes,looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or
that something serious had happened.
He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out
the bathroom door.
As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys
strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste
had been smeared over the mirror and walls.
As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed
in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked
how his day went.
He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?"
She again smiled and answered, "You know every day when you come
home from work and you ask me what in the world I do all day?"
"Yes," was his incredulous reply.
She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."

Riddle Of The Day

This is an ancient Latin riddle. Can you figure it out?
A prickly house a little host contains; The pointed weapons keep back from pains,So he, unarmed, safe in his fort remains.

Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
My teeth are sharp,I'm ready to feed,I come out at night, To fulfill my need, There are movies about me, I can be seen on T.V., I can hunt by myself, And my prey almost always flees. What am I?
A Vampire or Vampire Bat

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day


Her Time Had Come

...this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. John 4:42. References from John 4:1-42.

Jesus was more than willing to take a significant risk when he reached out to a Samaritan woman, and it resulted in an entire village being interested in the gospel. The decision to go through Samaria was deliberate, and may have been due to the Pharisee's opposition (v1-3). Most Jews went to great trouble to avoid this region, even though Samaria was the most direct path between Judea and Galilee. Not only did Jesus take a risk in going through Samaria, but He also broke many cultural and religious barriers by even acknowledging a woman, and a Samaritan woman at that.

It was simply unheard of that a rabbi, especially one who was unmarried, would even speak to a woman, let along ask something of her. This explains why the disciples were so baffled by Jesus' actions (v27). In addition to being a Samaritan and a woman, this woman's lifestyle was highly questionable, which explained why she was drawing water in the middle of the day (v6). Jesus knew that this woman was very isolated... both from her community, and more important, from the source of Living Water. As their conversation unfolded, Jesus helped her see that her religious concerns were really a reflection of her deeper need of salvation. 

He moved beyond her natural focus to show her that He was the source of abundant, Spirit filled life that satisfied more than even the best well water. The woman's willingness to share what had happened with the village demonstrates her tremendous excitement. They also responded in faith. Her tainted background no doubt inspired their curiosity and enabled them to see the message of God more clearly... much more clearly than most of the religious leaders of the day.


Obey All of the Way

And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. Genesis 12:5.

Complete obedience. Even Abraham struggled with this problem. As a great man of faith, Abraham had obeyed when God told him to "get out of your country" (Gen12:1). Immediately he packed up his possessions and left. But God also had said, "from your kindred and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you" (emphasis mine). It was here that Abraham stumbled. 

Genesis 12:5 notes that he took "Lot his brother's son" with him. Perhaps Abraham felt responsible for his nephew since Haran, Lot's father, had died. But this act of incomplete obedience became a cause of grief for himself (Gen 13:5-7) and eventually for his nephew as well. Lot lost everything but his two daughters in the destruction of Sodom (Gen 19:12-26). Obedience is often hard, but partial obedience will not make things much easier. The lack of total obedience may seem justified... especially if it involves a family member.

 It may even seem as if we are avoiding our duty to loved ones if we do as God has instructed us. But God has a reason for every command, and not to obey Him completely always means forfeiting a blessing. What is God asking of you today? What obedience is He prompting from you right now? Are you willing to obey all the way? Remember, incomplete obedience is the half-brother of disobedience. Trust and obey... there's no other way. The lesson to learn is that the greater the obedience, the smoother our life will be.
