Thoughts For The Day

The men who try to do something and fail, are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

The past cannot be changed, however, the future is still in your power.

If you haven't forgiven yourself something, how can you forgive others?

Personal Story Of The Day

Dying Daily

Are you in a situation where you are often misunderstood about your life in the Lord? Are you surrounded by people with carping, critical attitudes? Do you get little or no credit for the work you do in your church or for your family? The proper response is a willingness to have a humble and submissive attitude... to die as Jesus did throughout His life. Yes, our Lord died once on the cross; but in another sense He also died every day. 

The cross was the culmination of an entire lifetime of dying. He was willing to be misunderstood and maligned, to give up home and comforts, to take the role of a servant. That was His death. We must be willing to die in that way as well. When we die with Him, God's gift to us is the life of Jesus (2Corinthians 4:10), the most attractive life ever lived. His beauty will gradually grow in us and become our beauty as well.

Remember this saying: A picture is worth a thousand words. The testimony you project of God's ways with your humble, tranquil presence in the face of grievous wrong, is worth many words on the subject. Some may see the hope of Christ revealed in you and long to enter into that life. That's how dying daily can help bring life to another.

Jokes Of The Day

A seven year-old turns up in his classroom one morning to be confronted by his teacher:

Teacher: "Morning Tommy, and why weren't you at school yesterday?"

Tommy: "Well Miss, my Granddad got burnt."

Teacher:"Oh Dear, he wasn't too badly hurt I hope?"

Tommy: "Oh yes, Miss. They don't mess around at those crematoriums."

The kindergarten class had settled down to its coloring books.

Willie came up to the teacher's desk and said, "Miss Francis, I ain't got no crayons."

"Willie," Miss Francis said, "you mean, "I don't have any crayons.' You don't have any crayons. We don't have any crayons. They don't have any crayons. Do you see what I'm getting at?"

"Not really," Willie said, "What happened to all them crayons?"
************************************

The Weigh Scale

Two kids went into their parents bathroom and noticed the weigh scale in the corner. "Whatever you do," cautioned one youngster to the other, "Don't step on it!"

"Why not?" asked the sibling.

"Because every time mom does, she lets out an awful scream!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day


A Time Of Restoration

If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD... and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory. Jeremiah 4:1-2. References from Jeremiah 6:16-20; 33:1-11.

Sadly, many Christians are never identified by their friends and workmates, because their life styles are no different from those in the world. As members of Jesus Christ, our lives will bear a witness... but our witness can be either positive or negative. Jeremiah ministered just prior to the Babylonian exile (627-580 B.C.). Like many other prophets, he urged the people to return to God's ways (Jer 6:16). But they refused to do so! Even though God had sent previous prophets (the watchmen in v17), the people persisted in their sin.

Rather than destroy all false idols, the Israelites had adopted many perverse pagan practices. Rather than trust the Lord to protect them, they had entered into dangerous foreign alliances. The consequences of their sin were far reaching. Instead of being a witness to the nations, we find that the nations were called upon to testify against Israel in the courtroom of God's justice and to hear His sentence against his people (v18). This is indeed a sad point in the nation's history. Fortunately, Jeremiah prophesied of God's wonderful restoration.

Jeremiah 33 contains some of the most glorious promises of restoration, although the gruesome horrors of the destruction of Jerusalem and exile are not excluded (v4-5, 10). Yet after the Exile, God promised to reunite Judah and Israel and to rebuild Jerusalem in such a way as to display His glory to the surrounding nations (v9). The very nations that had been called upon to testify against Israel would at some point rejoice because of what God has done in and for Israel.


A Friend in Deed

Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea. Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart. Joshua 14:6-7.

Dr. Abraham Maslow, famed research analyst, estimated that the average American gets only about 50 percent of his need for love, interpersonal support and intimacy. In the latter stages of his research, Dr. Maslow became even more negative in his summary: "The truth is," he said, "the average American does not have a real friend in the world." 

That stands in stark contrast to the friendship we see between Joshua and Caleb. They were first teamed up by Moses as partners to explore the land of Canaan, they also stood steadfast together when the people rebelled and wanted to stone them (Num 14:6-10). Joshua was later selected to replace Moses as the leader of Israel, but that seemed to have no effect on their friendship. 

Forty-five years later we find them fighting shoulder to shoulder as Israel sought to solidify its hold on the Promised Land. And in the midst of the conflict, Joshua fulfilled a promise. Joshua 14:13 says, "And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as an inheritance."

Joshua and Caleb were friends indeed and friends in deed. It was a friendship tested by time and trials, but a friendship expressed in commitment and deeds. What had been promised in words was fulfilled in deeds. Perhaps you are blessed with such a friend as Caleb. If so, find a way today not only to say how much you appreciate this friend, but to show it as well. Follow the admonition of 1 John 3:18: "Let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth." A friend in deed is a friend indeed.
