Personal Story Of The Day
You Certainly Make A Difference
Roman Emperor Tiberias Caesar,
Governor Pontius Pilate,
the tetrarchs (a mixed ruling group of 4, that would repress the differing politics and religious needs of all the people)
Herod,
Philip, and Lysanias,
along with high priests Annas and Caiaphas.
While they were in power, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins (v2-3).
What possible difference could it make for a person with no money and power to respond to God's word when it seemed that others were so firmly in control? How could the actions of one insignificant person change anything? The answer is revealed in John the Baptist's message of repentance, his announcement of the coming Messiah (v16-17), and his bold confronting of Herod (19). John's role was to prepare the way for Jesus the Messiah, and the world was blessed by his obedience.
The world was ready for Christ... the New Testament church began as prophesied. Today, our task as Christians is to reflect the message of the crucified and risen Saviour in everything we do, and to tell others about Him. God calls each of us to live according to His instructions in the Bible. And our response will make all the difference in the world.
Jokes Of The Day
This story is about a mountain climber. He is going up some very treacherous rocks to get to the top. On the way up the hook that his rope was in gave way and he went tumbling toward the bottom of this high cliff at a high rate of speed, obviously to be dashed to pieces in the rocks at the bottom. As he was racing by the side of the cliff he saw a bush and he grabbed it. He held firm. He was in quite a predicament, dangling in mid-air, hanging on to a bush. He started to cry for help. He started to ask God for help because he knew there wasn't anyone else around. He began to shout, 'God, help me. God,help me.' He was in the predicament for quite a little while when finally he heard a voice,'Yes my child, I will help you.'
What a relief he felt in his heart. Then the voice said,
'Do you have faith in me?'
'Oh, do I have faith in you! Why I have faith in no one else. You are the one, God. You know that.'
'Good. Turn lose of the bush.'
'Anybody else up there?'

A woman was leaving a 7-11 with her morning coffee when she noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching thenearby cemetery. A black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse about 50 feet behind.
Behind the second hearse was a solitary woman walking a pit bull on a leash.
Behind her were 200 women walking single file.
The woman couldn't stand the curiosity. She respectfully approached the woman and the dog and said, "I am so sorry for your loss, and I know now is a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?"
The woman replied, "Well that first hearse is for my husband." "What happened to him?"
The woman replied, "My dog attacked and killed him." She inquired further, "Well, who is in the second hearse?" The woman answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my husband when the dog turned on her."
A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passes between the two women.
"Can I borrow the dog?"
"Get in line."
************************************
An Amish man wanted a loan for $500. He approached his local banker.
The banker pulled out the loan application, asking, "What are you going to do with the money?"
"Take some jewelry to city and sell it," said the Amish man.
"What have you got for collateral?" queried the banker, going strictly by the book.
"Don't know what collateral means."
"Well that's something of value that would cover the cost of the loan. Have you got any vehicles?"
"Yes, I have a 1949 Chevy pickup."
The banker shook his head, "How about livestock?"
"Yes, I have a horse."
"How old is it?"
"I don't know; it has no teeth."
Finally the banker decided to make the $500 loan.
Several weeks later the Amish man was back in the bank. He pulled out a roll of bills, "Here's the money to pay loan," he said, handing the entire amount including interest.
"What are you going to do with the rest of that money?"
"Put it in my pocket."
"Why don't you deposit it in my bank?" he asked.
"I don't know what deposit means."
"Well, you put the money in our bank and we take care of it for you.
When you want to use it you can withdraw it."
The Amish man leaned across the desk, looking suspiciously at the banker, and asked,
"What you got for collateral?"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
These Things Will All Pass... part 2You may remember this earlier this week... Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has a personal story that sounds familiar to Christians... “I had failed on an epic scale. An exceptionally short-lived marriage had imploded, and I was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless. The fears that my parents had had for me, and that I had had for myself, had both come to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the biggest failure I knew.”
In the natural sense she succeeded by sticking to something she felt would work for her; also, she never gave up. Sometimes we find ourselves in such a failed position, despite being spirit filled and despite having clear knowledge of God and his powers working in us.
The difference for us is that the flesh is ever present, and we don't move to a trouble-free life and live happily ever after. The happily ever after comes when the Lord returns.
We are still in the overcoming stage of our life and need to recognise this reality. Having things go wrong should not be as surprise to us, nor should it hinder our growth in the Lord. Helpfully, the love of God reveals a more effective pathway for us to follow should we choose it. If we choose to serve (help) our fellow brothers and sisters... God offers more support for us than when we don't.
This makes overcoming much easier and less unpleasant. 'And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us'. Romans 5:5.
Water From a Rock
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go. Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. Exodus 17:5-6.
The importance of water can never be underestimated. Sixty percent of a lean, adult body is composed of water. A person can fast from food for 40 days or longer, but the human body can go only for about 7 days without water, even under ideal circumstances. It's no wonder, then, that the Israelites were getting desperate. The wilderness was far from ideal. It was a hot, desert-like stretch of land dotted with huge rocks but little vegetation.
Without water they would quickly perish. So God instructed Moses to strike a rock, and out of this flinty hardness flowed sufficient water to meet the needs of all the people and their livestock. For us today there is a clear and faithful message in the outcome of this story.
The Bible writers later saw this rock as a symbol of Christ (1Cor 10:4). In the midst of a faith-parched life, Christ offers a well of living water that never runs dry, no matter how often we drink from it. "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life" (John 4:14).
Facts Of The Day
One year on earth is 365.26 days long. One day is 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds long. The extra day in a leap year was introduced to compensate for the discrepancy in the Georgian calendar.
