Scripture Of The Day
Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. James 5:8.Read The Bible In a Year
Genesis 16-17; Matthew 5:27-48.Thoughts For The Day
Live now. Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again.Self-importance is our greatest enemy.
To take all that we are and have and hand it over to God may not be easy; but it can be done; and when it is done, the world has in it one less candidate for misery.

Personal Story Of The Day
A Language That They Understand.There's nothing more distracting than driving down the freeway and having a bee in your car. I tried to stay focused on the traffic, and lowered the passenger window, hoping it would fly out. It didn't work. It seemed fixated on bumping its head on the inside of my windscreen. I put all the windows down and said, "Hey! All the windows are open. Pick a window, any window'.
But that dumb bee kept buzzing around my dashboard. Then I tried to "encourage" him (or her. I'm not good with bee genders) with a rolled-up sheet of paper. But every time I'd brush it away, it would fly back to the windscreen. "Hey, Stupid! You'll never get out that way!" But he didn't speak English, and I couldn't speak "Bee."
Eventually, I had to pull off the road, stop, open all the doors, and wait until he smelled some nearby flower and flew away. Many people are like that bee. They don't know what God is saying because they don't understand him. And because they don't speak "God", they can't understand when He is talking to them. And they keep knocking their heads against closed doors, thinking it's the way out, often getting nowhere, discouraged, and losing hope.
You and I know how to receive the Holy Spirit and how to walk in the Lord, but the vast majority can't see a thing. It is our job to get them out of their prison and into the safety of God's kingdom. Your testimony is God's language to them... they will understand, but then they can make an informed decision.
Jokes Of The Day
It is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light, and certainly not desirable, as one's hat keeps blowing off.************************************
A lonely frog telephoned the Psychic Hotline and asked what his future holds. His personal psychic advisor tells him: "You are going to meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything about you."
The frog is delighted with this news,
"This is great! Will I meet her at a party?" he croaks.
"No," says the psychic, "in biology class."

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer. When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level. Stuff that will make them scream, cry, and howl in pain and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
You Are The One
For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. -Philippians 2:20. References from Song of Solomon 6:8-10.
During a trip to Algiers, the British statesman Lord Frederick North asked his host if he might be permitted to see one of the women of his harem. Instead of being offended by the request, the host took one look at Lord North and told the keeper of the harem, 'He is so ugly, let him see them all!'
In today's verses the groom compares his bride to the women of a harem. It was not unusual in Solomon's day for kings to have harems of many wives and concubines. Political reasons motivated many multiple marriages.
Concubines, on the other hand, were granted a different status. They had more rights than an ordinary slave, but far fewer than a wife. Their function was primarily to bear children and care for the king's palace (2 Sam. 15:16; 16:21). According to Scripture, King David had multiple wives and several concubines (2 Sam. 19:5). Solomon had a total of seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines (1 Kings 11:3).
The numbers of wives and concubines listed in our verses today are substantially lower. It may be that this was written early in Solomon's reign, before he had acquired his enormous harem. When compared to all other women, the bride stands out. Solomon describes her as, 'but one'. (v9).
The Hebrew text literally says that she is 'one'. Solomon also calls her, 'my perfect one'. The Hebrew term conveys something pure and chosen. She is like a beautiful gem that is both rare and flawless. Today we might paraphrase the comparison by saying that she is 'one in a million'. This is the very point that Jesus makes about his bride, he cares for her more than any other and wants us to be like minded... you and I are the bride, and we are asked to care for the church with the same compassion and love.
Life Will Change, But..
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Hebrews 13:8
We look back at our past life sometimes and wish that things could have remained the same. But no matter how we yearn for the present to be like the past, it never will be. People change, situations change; therefore, things will never be the same. We each grow, and we go our separate ways.
I once heard someone say that 'friendship is for a time'. Perhaps this is so about some friendships. Some situations, such as the music or the hall setup etc., was only 'for a time' anyway. God knows the timing in which we serve, and how much we loved what we were doing.
But as people change, situations change. People can become disheartened with their life or even outgrow their responsibilities and move on to other interests. Things change, BUT God never changes. To His people, He will always be equally powerful, merciful, and self-sufficient. He will always welcome the repentant sinner, just as He welcomes your prayers, wants to give you your need, or heal your body.
He still wants us to love righteousness and hate iniquity. It doesn't matter that the whole world around us is changing and falling apart, He is ready to help you through the perils of life, withstand the 'fallout', and endure until He returns for His church.
