Get up and get going...

Only 332 days to the year 2027

Scripture Of The Day

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 1 Corinthians 3:19.

Read The Bible In a Year

Exodus 31-33; Matthew 22:1-22.

Thoughts For The Day

You cannot depend on your eyes when your mind is out of focus.

Every Christian is like the moon, you either reflect the light of God or you live in absolute darkness.

Those who are fired with an enthusiastic idea and who allow it to take hold and dominate their thoughts find that new worlds open for them. As long as enthusiasm holds out, so will new opportunities.

Motivation For The Day

The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works.

Personal Story Of The Day

Line Upon Line

A few years ago, ago a well-meaning brother rebuked me for something that troubled him, when all the while he was living contrary to God's Word. And then it dawned on me. Something I had never quite seen before... Hebrew 4:12 says, "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

What's the danger of using a double-edged sword? That's right!

If you don't wield it properly, YOU CAN CUT YOURSELF ON THE OTHER SIDE! As with any weapon, the more we understand and use it, the safer it becomes. Why do people argue doctrine when they can't manage contradictory scriptures themselves? Coming to terms with things yet to be understood, is part of the process that all Christians have to endure.

Time permits us to hone our skills with God's word, to find better and safer ways to use it. We have to get it right... lives are at stake, marriages are on the line, families and salvation are in the balance.

These most basic requirements are satisfied when the salvation message is established and stood upon, from there, every other benefit and blessing will be revealed, gathered and learned. The God-evidenced anointing of the spirit, sets us apart from ourselves and gives God a chance to complete his plan in us. "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (II Tim. 2:15).

Jokes Of The Day

Miss Jones had been giving her second-grade students a lesson on science. She had explained about magnets and showed how they would pick up nails and other bits of iron.

Now it was question time, so she asked, "My name begins with the letter 'M' and I pick up things. What am I?"

A little boy on the front row proudly said, "You're a mother!"

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

Nine-year-old Joey was asked by his mother what he had learned in Sunday School. 'Well, Mom, our teacher told us how God sent Moses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. When he got to the Red Sea, he had his engineers build a pontoon bridge, and all the people walked across safely. He used his walkie- talkie to radio headquarters and call in an air strike. They sent in bombers to blow up the bridge and all the Israelites were saved.'

'Now, Joey, is that REALLY what your teacher taught you?' his mother asked.

'Well, no, Mom, but if I told it the way the teacher did, you'd never believe it!'

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

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!"

Riddle Of The Day

I have been around for hundreds of years, I can have a varying number of hands, There are many versions of me, I do the same thing day after day, People would miss me if I were gone, What am I?

Answer to Yesterday's Riddle
I can do things you think defy physics. Like rock a cradle and go around the world. I can be weighted and work or be broken and still work. And I am hot as fire or cold as ice.
A yo yo : It defies gravity by going up instead of down. Rock a cradle and around the world are tricks. Weighted and broken refer to different yo-yo styles (weighted and off-string), and hot as fire or cold as ice are brand names (pyro and frost).

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

Faith And Patience Go Hand In Hand

And so, after he had patiently endured (Abraham), he obtained the promise. Hebrews 6:15. References from Hebrews 6:9-15.

The old saying goes, 'Good things come to those who wait'. But this waiting is more than a matter of sitting around on our hands, expecting blessings to fall from the sky. One such example is Walt Disney, who was turned down 302 times before he got financing for his dream of creating Disneyland.

Rather than sit passively and assume someone would call him offering money, he persisted until he got the funds he needed.

Thus, we turn our attention to Patience, a fruit of the Spirit. For many of us, patience has a passive overtone, a wait and see attitude. But Hebrews clarifies for us just what it means to build the fruit of patience. Our key example is Abraham, who waited patiently for God to fulfil His promises (v15). He is set forth as an illustration of someone we should imitate, because through his faith and patience he did see the faithfulness of God (v12).

This link between faith and patience is critical, because the primary motivation behind our willingness to wait on God is our faith that He will do what He has promised to do. We see both positive and negative examples of patience in Abraham's life.

God had promised him a son, but as the years passed and no son materialised, Abraham was motivated to take matters into his own hands. He had a son with Hagar, the maid of his wife Sarah. Abraham's lack of patience is tied to his doubt that God would indeed do what He said: give him a son with his wife Sarah, who was barren. God did complete His promise, and Abraham and Sarah had their son, Isaac.

Then God told Abraham to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. Abraham obeyed, and we see an example of active patience. Even though he thought he could lose his son Isaac, he patiently believed that God would make a way to fulfil His word (see Gen. 22).

At War

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Isa 41:10

Like any potential war with another country, many of us are faced with a war against our soul. Both on the right and left hands, we are met with 'alternatives' to living a Christian life. The world makes worldliness without responsibility look so good... how hard it is to resist some things. Once doubt gets a foot in the door, the world gets an entrance into our life.

Once sin gets in, it will try and gain full control of our life (by convincing you that you are weak or no good). Just as our troops have orders to go in and try and establish a lasting peace and democracy in countries they have had to fight.

They have specific ways of going about their duties. If everyone isn't doing their job, then lives will be lost and democracy will never get a chance to succeed. Just as in natural wars, there is also a desired outcome in the war against the soul. The scripture says to 'resist the devil and he will flee' [James 4:7].

Through the Word and the power given you by the Holy Spirit and the people in your fellowship, the war will be won!
