I count him braver who conquers his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory over self. Aristotle

If you want to feel rich, just count all of the things you have that money can't buy.

Walking by faith and not by sight, reveals more than any eye could ever see.

Personal Story Of The Day

We Are All In This Together

Charles Plumb was sitting in a restaurant when a man came up to him and said, "You're Plumb. You flew jet fighters in Vietnam. You were on the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were shot down!" "How in the world did you know all that?" asked Plumb. The man, who had been on the same ship, replied, "I packed your parachute." Then he added, "I guess it worked." "Indeed it did," said Plumb. That night Plumb thought of this man who had stood at a table in the belly of the ship carefully folding parachutes for men whose lives might depend on them. Plumb was saddened and humbled as he thought, “How many times might I have passed this man but didn't even say good morning because I was a jet pilot and he was a low ranking sailor?” 

This story brings to mind David's words in a short story in 1 Samuel. Two hundred of his men became too weary to march farther to fight the Amalekites. So they stayed behind to guard the supplies. When David returned from battle, he made no distinction between them and his fighting men. He said, “They shall share alike” (1 Samuel 30:24). In God's service there are no high and low people, no high and low tasks. We all depend on one another. Let's never forget those who packed our parachute.

Jokes Of The Day

Jim is going on an ocean cruise, and he tells his doctor that he's worried about getting real seasick.

The doctor tells him, "Just eat two pounds of stewed tomatoes before you leave the dock."

Jim says, "Will that keep me from getting sick?"

The doctor says, "No, but it'll look real pretty in the water."

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

An usher in a very posh theater noticed a man sprawled across three seats. "Sorry, sir," the usher said, "but you're only allowed one seat."

The man groaned but didn't budge.

The usher became impatient and said, "Sir, if you don't get up from there I'm going to have to call the manager." Again, the man just groaned, which infuriated the usher who turned and marched briskly back up the aisle in search of his manager.

In a few moments, both the usher and the manager returned and stood over the man. Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move him, "All right buddy," the manager said, "what's your name?"

"Sam," the man moaned.

"Where did you come from, Sam?"

With pain in his voice, Sam replied, "The balcony."

Riddle Of The Day

Mary's parents have four children, north, south and east. Whats the fourth childs name?


Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
Never speaking, still awake, Pleasing most when most I speak, The Delight of old and young, Tho' I speak without a Tongue. Nought but one Thing can confound me, Many Voices joining round me; Then I fret, and rave and gabble, Like the Labourers of Babel. Now I am a Dog, or Cow, I can bark, or I can low, I can bleat, or I can sing, Like the Warblers of the Spring. Let the Love-sick Bard complain, And I mourn the cruel Pain; Let the happy Swain rejoice, And I join my helping Voice; Both are welcome, Grief or Joy, I with either sport and toy. Tho' a Lady, I am stout, Drums and Trumpets bring me out; Then I clash and roar, and rattle, Join in all the Din of Battle. Jove, with all his loudest Thunder, When I'm vext, can't keep me under; Yet so tender is my Ear, That the lowest Voice I fear; Much I dread the Courtier's Fate, When his Merit's out of Date, For I hate a silent Breath, And a Whisper is my Death. Jonathan Swift, (1667-1745)

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

The Deceit Of Being Evil.

for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Matthew 5:45. References from Job 21:1-34.

From 1945 to 1949, the world followed with intense interest the Nuremberg war crimes trials. Hundreds of Nazi officers, such as Hans Frank, the so-called Butcher of Krakow, and Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop were tried and convicted. Yet despite efforts to track down and prosecute war criminals, the fact remains that some perpetrators escaped justice and quietly blended back into mainstream society. 

They took on new identities and led normal lives. In the end, they died, apparently never paying for their awful crimes. This is only one example of the particularly difficult question that bible students call theodicy. Why is there evil in the world? Related to this is the question of why the wicked seem to get away with their wrongdoing. There's no easy answer to this problem, and this fact forms the basis of Job's reply to round two of his friends' speeches. In this speech, for the first time, Job does not address the Lord, but instead counters his friends' claims. This speech is also much less emotional. The biggest problem with retribution theology, Job begins, is that it doesn't really explain the ways of the world. 

As he looks around, he finds numerous examples of the wicked prospering. They grow old (v7), they are safe (v9), and they are successful (v8, 10-11). What's more, they die happy (v13), even though they deny God. The picture that Job paints here is similar to the one that Eliphaz drew of the good man (5:17-27), so it may be that Job intends a deliberate contrast. Ironically, Job's friends have accused him of opposing God by challenging His ways, but it is they themselves who have been, in essence, telling God how he should be running the world. 


Follow After Me

And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law. Ruth1:15. 

Husbands are notorious for not asking directions. One wife said that her husband and she left a wedding to go to the reception. Not knowing how to find the reception hall, her husband chose to follow one of the other wedding guests rather than ask directions. After numerous twists and turns, the car ahead of them finally pulled into the driveway of their own home. As it turned out, these guests had not planned to attend the reception. 

Where a person is going should influence whether or not we want to follow them. Naomi urged her daughter-in-law Ruth to follow the way Orpha, her sister-in-law, had taken. But Orpha was headed in the wrong direction. She was going back to her people and her gods. Orpha had been exposed to the God of Israel while she was a part of Elimelech's family, but when the final decision had to be made, she chose to return to her old way of life. Fortunately, Ruth chose not to accompany her. Many people are seeking others to follow them, but they're headed in the wrong direction. 

When we cut through all their assurances and promises, we discover that what they're really offering is to lead us back to enslavement to the world. The apostle Paul urged the Corinthians, Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ (1 Cor 11:1). The same applies to us today. Choose to follow only those who have chosen to follow Christ. Be careful whom you allow to be your leader. Take time today to make sure you're following someone who honours the Lord. Anyone who is not headed in the same direction as the deeds of Christ, is not headed in a direction you want to go.
