Personal Story Of The Day
The Mirror Of Life
In 2 Corinthians 3:18, we are described as beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord. When we behold His glory, we will be transformed into the same image... that is, the likeness of Christ. We may wonder why we are still so far from being like Christ in our thinking and behaviour. Perhaps this question will help: "Whose life do we mirror?" God's people must reflect God's glory.
To do that we must make it our habit to behold His glory. We must read and meditate on His Word. We must pray and trust God's Holy Spirit to work in our lives. Only then can we obey His commands and depend on His promises. Whose glory are you reflecting today?
Jokes Of The Day
A shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW appeared in a cloud of dust. The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the shepherd, "If I tell you how many sheep you have,will you give me one?"
The shepherd looked at the yuppie, then at his grazing flock, and calmly answered, "Okay."
The yuppie parked his car, grabbed his handheld GPS, whipped out his Pocket PC, surfed to NASA's web site, entered in the GPS data, brought up a recent ultra-high-resolution satellite photo, transferred it to Photoshop and exported it to an image processing facility in Hamburg. Within seconds, his Blackberry had an email notifying him that his image was processed and its data stored in a SQL database on a networked server nearby. He downloaded the data into an DBC-connected Excel spreadsheet, ran a statistical analysis, transferred the results to Word, outlined it, massaged the outline, then OLEd it into a short PowerPoint presentation, which he then showed to the shepherd. It read, simply, "1,586." "That's right. Well, I guess you can have a sheep."
The young man selected an animal and loaded it into the BMW's trunk. The shepherd then asked him, "If I can name your profession, can I have my sheep back?" The man said, "Okay, sure. Why not?" Without a moment's hesitation, the shepherd said, "You're a consultant." "That's right!"
said the yuppie, "but how did you know?"
"Easy. You showed up here even though nobody called you; you expected to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked; and, you don't know a damned thing about my business. Now give back my dog!"

A frog expert from the aquarium visited a third-grade class to give a talk on amphibians.
"It's easy to tell the male frogs from the female frogs," said the man, as he held up two cages. "When you feed them, the male frog will eat only female flies, and the female frog will eat only male flies."
One boy in the back of the room raised his hand. "But how do you tell which flies are male and which are female?"
"How should I know?" replied the man. "I'm a frog expert."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Luke 5:32. References from Mark 1:14-20.
According to today's verses, we are just the sort of people that Jesus Christ seeks to be His followers. The first disciples that Jesus called were fishermen casting their nets into the lake. He did not go to the religious elite to select those who would become His apostles; He went to common men as they went about their daily business. This is often the context for God's call.
Moses and David were called to special service while guarding the flock (Ex 3:1; 1 Sam 16:11). Elisha was called while plowing his father's field (1 Kings 19:19). When the call to special service finally came, it brought with it the expectation of an immediate response. Simon, Andrew, James, and John all answered Christ's call without delay (v20). They left their nets and their families behind in order to take up a new calling as fishers of men (v17).
In each case obedience was costly. They abandoned their livelihood and may have faced family disapproval for taking up a more controversial and certainly less lucrative calling.
Later in his ministry Peter would remind Jesus of the sacrifices they had made and inquired about what they would gain in return. Jesus promised that anyone who has left goods or family behind for the sake of the kingdom of God will eventually receive a hundred times as much in addition to eternal life (Matt 19:28-29; Mark 10:29-31).

Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living. And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king. And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other. 1 Kings 3:23-25.
How many times have you come across a new invention and thought, I could have invented that! Solomon demonstrated that kind of practical wisdom. Faced with the need to determine the true mother of a newborn, he resorted to what he knew about motherhood. He applied that knowledge by suggesting the child be cut in two, with half given to each woman who claimed to be the child 's mother.
As expected, the real mother refused while the false claimant was willing to go along with the suggestion. The writer of 1 Kings says the people heard of this judgment and "feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice" (3:28). Knowledge is important in a Christian's life (2 Pet 1:5), but we also need the wisdom to apply it.
It's not sufficient to have the know-how... we have to do something with that know-how. Only as God shows us how to apply what we know can we lay claim to the gift of wisdom. Are you lacking in wisdom? James says, "Ask of God" (James 1:5). Ask God to give you not only knowledge but also the practical wisdom of knowing how to apply it.
