Personal Story Of The Day
Ministering Grace
After a meeting in which the pastor had preached about spiritual gifts, he was greeted at the door by a new woman who said, "Pastor, I believe I have the gift of criticism." He responded, "Do you remember the person in Jesus' parable who had the one talent? Do you recall what he did with it?" "Yes," replied the woman, "he went out and buried it" (see Matthew 25:18). With a smile, the pastor suggested, "Go, and do likewise!"
If criticism is not given lovingly and with an honest desire to help, it can be cruel and destructive. The words of Leviticus 19:17,"...thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him," are preceded by warnings against spreading slander and nursing hatred. You can determine when you should criticise and when you shouldn't by asking yourself three questions:
1. Am I motivated by a desire to help the other person or by offences?
2. Am I planning to face them honestly, but gently?
3. Am I doing this for the Lord, or because I am under natural pressures to do so?
If your goal is to help, if your motives are loving, and if your desire is to please God, then go ahead and criticise by offering a Godly solution that will work. If you can't pass these tests, keep quiet. Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication (without spiritual value) proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

Until I know which way you went

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
God Is Still The Answer
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. Galatians 4:28. References from Galatians 4:21-31.
In the classic movie, 'An Affair to Remember', Cary Grant plays a character trying to support himself through selling his paintings. He has lost touch with the woman he loves, played by Deborah Kerr. One day, she sees a portrait in a store window and is taken aback... it is a portrait of herself that he has painted. And it is clear through the loving way he has portrayed her image that he still loves her very much.
Paul appeals to one final image to help his readers understand why they ought not, as Gentiles, accept the teaching of those urging them to embrace the practices of the Jewish Law. Drawing on his earlier conclusion that those who have faith are in Christ and therefore the seed of Abraham (3:26-29), he goes back to the story of Abraham to illustrate his case (see Gen. 15,16, 18:115, 21:121). To get his point we need to remember that Abraham's wife Sarah was barren. God promised Abraham that he would have an heir, but given that Sarah could not have children, the promise seemed futile.
Sarah suggested to Abraham that he try to have children by her slave girl Hagar. Abraham took her advice, and as a result Ishmael was born. Hagar was not a barren woman. Thus the birth of Ishmael was completely natural and ordinary (v23). God, however, still intended to fulfil His promise to Abraham and with God's healing, Sarah did eventually give birth to Isaac. Since Sarah was barren, Isaac's birth was an act of God, not an ordinary event. Jesus Christ's birth was also an act of God... it was good that the Gentiles could build their salvation on his gospel and promises.
To go back to the law instead of obeying Christ is the same as the difference between Ishmael and Isaac. One was of natural ability and the other of Spiritual blessing.
You Will Be Changed!
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:52
For most of us, we are a people that don't like change! Just keep things as we know them, and we will be happy. There may be someone that is facing the possibility of a premature death from a terminal illness. There is healing 'in the wings'! The doctors will say it is 'terminal', but God's Word says we can be healed. Your body may be telling you that you are not feeling so good and things look bleak. But, God's Word says he 'will supply all your need according to his riches in glory.' [Philippians 4:19].
Our need sometimes isn't what we think it to be. God knows exactly what we are in need of, at any given time. His ways are not our ways, and his thoughts are not our thoughts. [Isaiah 55:8]. He knows our life, our mind, and our body. He knows our spiritual needs. That is where change is most needed! Don't be in despair, if your doctor says you are terminally ill. Look to God, who is the author and finisher of your faith [Hebrews 12:2], He will sustain you through all that you may have to endure.
When you are a child of the King, you are assured of a new body! You may be healed here on earth, or you may get that new body in a new land! You shall be changed from a body racked with pain to a new one! The Word says that 'this mortal must put on immortality'. [I Corn. 15:53]. Take heart, dear friends! You shall be changed... first, here on earth, through the new birth in Christ, and then, when you go to be with the Lord!
Whether we receive our healing while we are still alive, or when we meet the Lord, we shall be changed for the better! Doctors have medicines and treatments to bring about some healing here on earth, but only GOD has 'healing' for our souls!
