There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals.
With God, even when nothing is happening - something is happening.
Motivation For The Day
God sees the victories that lie ahead for you and me. Although we may only see the battles, He sees the victories. He has already won the battles for us. Just as the list of unconquered territories is infinite, so is the list of victories the Lord has for you in your life. Pray for guidance into your unconquered territories. Ask Him to show you the way He would have you go. Then walk with Him into victory.On This Day

Personal Story Of The Day
Not All Differences Are BadWhy did David say that Saul and Jonathan were "beloved and pleasant in their lives"? (2 Samuel 1:23). We can understand why he would say this of Jonathan, his good friend. But why say this of King Saul, who had brought him so much fear and sorrow? There were good things David could say of Jonathan that he could not say of Saul.
Yet, instead of pointing out Saul's faults and failures, he commended what was good in him: his courage, his military victories, and his prosperous kingdom (v21-24).
David's graciousness causes me to wonder: how easy it is to judge the flaws of others? How often have we been offended when others have found good in those who have troubled us? How much do we dwell on the bad we see in someone rather than the good that God and others can see? There is of course a difference of magnitude for criminal and 'real' antichurch behaviour and that is understandable, but we need to make sure we are offended for the right reasons rather than the personal.
The Bible says that we need to leave judgment in the Lord's hands, for when Jesus returns, He will "reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one's praise will come from God" (1 Corinthians 4:5).

Jokes Of The Day
One bright, beautiful Sunday morning, everyone in the tiny town of Johnstowngot up early and went to the local church. Before the services started, the
townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking about their lives, their
families, etc. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church.
Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling
each other in a frantic effort to get away from the evil incarnate. Soon
everyone was evacuated from the church, except for one elderly gentleman who
sat calmly in his pew, not moving . . . seemingly oblivious to the fact that
God's ultimate enemy was in his presence. Now this confused Satan a bit, so
he walked up to the man and said, "Don't you know who I am?"
The man replied, "Yep, sure do."
Satan asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Nope, sure ain't," said the man.
Satan was a little perturbed at this and queried, "Why aren't you afraid of
me?"
The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for over 48 years."

A man goes to church and starts talking to God. He says: "God what is a
million dollars to you?" and God says: "A penny", then the man says: "God
what is a million years to you?" and God says: "a second", then the man
says: "God can I have a penny?" and God says "In a second"
************************************
The policeman signals to a car driver to pull over to the side of the road, due to the fact that he appears to be driving erratically.
He says to the driver, "You appear to have been drinking."
The driver answers, "No sir, I am just tired."
The policeman looks into the car and notices that the driver is a priest. He also notices that there is an empty bottle on the floor. He says to the driver, "What is, or should I say was in this bottle?
The driver answers, "Water."
The policeman sniffs it and says, "It is not, it's wine."
The driver looks up to the heavens and says, "Praise the Lord, you have done it again!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Surprising Thoughts From History'I have found that in times when I lacked wisdom God’s word answered my questions, and gave me direction.' BF.
The political convention was in chaos. Each delegation wanted something different. Some favoured states' rights, others wanted a stronger central government. Larger states wanted greater representation, and small states wanted an equal voice. Debate dragged on and on. Finally, the committee chairman admitted the situation was hopeless.
After weeks of fruitless effort, the oldest delegate rose. Addressing the chairman, he said, ”The small progress we have made after four or five weeks is melancholy proof of the imperfections of human understanding."
He continued, "I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth – that God governs the affairs of men”. Citing the Bible he added, “And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid. We have been assured sir in the sacred writings that “except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it." "I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without His concurring aid we shall succeed in political building no better than the builders of Babel."
The speaker? Benjamin Franklin. It is ironic that Ben Franklin, who for most of his life was not considered devout, turned to the scriptures in a time of crises. At 81 years of age, using the Bible for his examples, Benjamin Franklin brought a clear vision to the convention, that eventually brought the delegates together, and a great document was produced, the constitution of the United States of America.
Opening The Box From The Wrong End
All that we call human history— money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery— is the long, terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.
People make the mistake of believing that God is the cause of wars and many other afflictions that have sprung up through all of human history. That is not the case. It is humanity who defies God and changes all the principles that work and bring blessing. God has given us the freedom to make our own choices, but with that freedom comes the consequences.
As failings pile up and things get worse, people lash out at one another and need someone to blame... even though they made their own choices. The need to blame everyone else is the name of the game today. Everyone wants freedom, but nobody wants to be accountable. This is the opposite to what God offers.
Let's open the box from the right end.
Jeremiah 17:5-10 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
For he shall be like the heath (barely surviving plant) in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
