Personal Story Of The Day
Under The Big Top
The bible reveals that believers aren't exempt from trouble. In fact, some Christians are surrounded by trouble... trouble to the right, trouble to the left, trouble in front, and trouble behind. This may be true, but it's always open at the top!
This type of confidence in God is fully supported by Hebrews 4. Because our great High Priest, Jesus the Son of God, has ascended to heaven (the spiritual dimension) and is interceding there for us.
We have good grounds for trusting Him in the midst of trouble (v14). Jesus is able to sympathise with our weaknesses, for when He lived on earth, He was tempted in every way that we are, yet He never sinned (v15).
His throne is completely approachable and is called "the throne of grace"(v16). In Hebrews we're urged to look up from our trials and to approach that throne boldly by faith. Through humble prayer, we will receive mercy for our failures and grace to help us in our time of need (v16). Are life's trials and temptations hemming you in?
Does it seem like there's nowhere to go? Take heart. Keep looking up... it's always open at the top!
Jokes Of The Day
Two women ran into the court of King Solomon, fighting."My daughter was to marry a man, but this woman claims that the man was to
marry HER daughter!" one of them yelled.
"There is a simple solution," said the King. "I shall cut the man in two and
each of your daughters can have a piece."
"Fine by me!" said the first woman.
"No, don't, I would rather let the other girl marry him than that!" cried
the second.
The King didn't hesitate for a minute. "Fine." he said. "The first woman may
have him."
"What?" protested the other? "She wanted him cut in two!"
"Indeed." said the king. "She shows the true spirit of a mother-in-law!"
************************************
One Sunday, a pastor told his congregation that the church needed some extra
money. He asked the people to consider donating a little more than usual
into the offering plate. He said that whoever gave the most would be able to
pick out three hymns. After the offering plates were passed, the pastor
glanced down and noticed that someone had placed a $1,000 bill in the
offering.
He was so excited that he immediately shared his joy with his congregation
and said he'd like to personally thank the person who placed the money in
the plate. A very quiet, elderly, saintly looking lady all the way in the
back shyly raised her hand. The pastor asked her to come to the front.
Slowly she made her way to the pastor. He told her how wonderful it was that
she gave so much and in thanks asked her to pick out three hymns.
Her eyes brightened as she looked over the congregation, pointed to the
three most handsome men in the building and said, "I'll take him and him and
him."

For Better or Worse
Darling," said the swooning man to his new bride. "Now that we are married, do you think you will be able to live on my small income?"
"Of course, dearest, no trouble," she said. "But what will you live on?"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
To Love The Church Is To Protect The Church
Ye did run well;... Galatians 5:7. References from Galatians 5:7-12.
A lady was out working in her garden when she heard her female neighbour screaming at her daughter. Thinking that perhaps she should help calm her, she went to see what the fuss was about. Instead of finding her angry and distraught, however, she saw her hugging her daughter tightly. When she asked what was going on, her neighbour explained that her little girl had run into the road, ignoring her command to stay in the yard.
She had screamed when she heard a car approaching and ran to get her daughter.
She explained, 'My voice and actions have to make it clear to her that its dangerous to go onto the road, and because I love her I won't let her do it.'
Paul would understand. He was in the middle of spelling out the relationship between living in freedom and living in love. In our verses today he deviates from this main issue to exhort us again not to fall prey to the dangerous teaching they have heard about submitting to the Law. The issue for Paul is clear: following this teaching equals failing to obey the truth of the gospel message (v7).
He adds that the notion that Gentiles need both the gospel and the Law in order to be fully rescued from this evil age is to abolish the offence of the cross (v11). Paul uses some very harsh language in reference to those telling the Galatians that they must be circumcised to gain God's favour. He calls them corrupt and wishes that they would go so far as to cut them off (5:12). This strong, even violent, tone is interesting given that Paul is in the middle of a discussion about love (see v6, 13). Ought not Paul to be more loving toward these unnamed teachers?
This is the type of challenge today that many fail to address!
God Is... Love
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:16
God is a God of love. He doesn't pick out specific people to love. He loves all of us unconditionally! He loved us so much, He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to die for us. There has never been a love equal and never will be in this world. Man can show love, but never on the same level as God has. Man can be fickle in his love... in love one day, and out of love the next.
God is never fickle. God is love! Man isn't always nice, even though he identifies himself as being 'in love'. God will always be there to lift you up, to hold your hand, to hear your cry, and bring you peace when you think there is no peace. If you are in need of love, call on the God of love today. He can heal a broken heart, bring you a peace that 'passeth all understanding', and be with you through the bad times as well as the good.
Give His Love a chance today!
