Hello there.

Scripture Of The Day
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. 2 Corinthians 1:12.Read The Bible In a Year
Exodus 27-28; Matthew 21:1-22.Thoughts For The Day
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one.

Personal Story Of The Day
Learn From The Mistakes Of Others... It Is Far Less Painful.A mild-mannered man was reading a book on being self-assertive and decided to start at home. So he stormed into his house, pointed a finger in his wife's face, and said, "From now on I'm boss around here and my word is law! I want you to prepare me a gourmet meal and run my bath. Then, when I've eaten and finished my bath, guess who's going to groom me and comb my hair."
"The mortician," replied his wife.
King Rehoboam (Solomon's son) tried that kind of self-assertiveness and it turned Israel against him. When he came to the throne, the people pleaded for less oppressive taxation. His older advisors urged him to heed their request, but his young friends told him to be more demanding than his father had been.
As a result of listening to his peers, 10 of the 12 tribes of Israel seceded and formed a new kingdom (2 Chronicles 10:16-17). Good leaders don't rely on domineering self-assertion... not at home, nor in church, nor in business. Rather, they balance self-assertiveness (which isn't wrong in itself) with the principle of submitting to one another. (Ephesians 5:21).
They listen respectfully, admit when they're wrong, show a willingness to change, and mix gentleness with firmness. That's submissive leadership and it works!
Jokes Of The Day
"If your eyes hurt after you drink coffee in the morning, you need to take the spoon out of the cup."************************************
An angel appears at a faculty meeting and tells the dean that in return for his unselfish and exemplary behaviour, the Lord will reward him with his choice of infinite wealth, wisdom, or beauty.
Without hesitating, the dean selects infinite wisdom.
"Done!" says the angel, and disappears in a cloud of smoke and a bolt of lightning.
Now, all heads turn toward the dean, who sits surrounded by a faint halo of light.
One of his colleagues whispers, "Say something."
The dean sighs and says, "I should have taken the money."
************************************
After the revival had concluded, the three pastors were discussing the results with one another.
The Methodist minister said, "The revival worked out great for us! We gained four new families."
The Baptist preacher said, "We did better than that! We gained six new families."
The Presbyterian pastor said, "Well, we did even better than that! We got rid of our 10 biggest trouble makers!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Moments Of Intercession
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice Philippians 4:4. References from Philippians 1:1-26.
We often think of Philippians as a book of rejoicing, but sometimes we aren't as eager to see that this joy is the result of suffering. In verses 18-19, Paul notes that he continues to rejoice because of God's work as a result of his imprisonment. And Paul's frequent exhortations to the Philippians to rejoice, are given in the context of the persecution and poverty facing this church (3:1; 4:4).
It's difficult to make sense of the pain and suffering in our lives. On the one hand we know that it is the result of sin and the fall of Adam; on the other hand, we know that God is sovereign over all events (Rom 8:28). How do we reconcile these two? Philippians gives us a strong hint to the answer.
God allows the effects of sin and the curse to play out on earth. But He can redeem the resulting pain and suffering. He can transform it into something beautiful... and the most wonderful point of all, is that it provides opportunities for the gospel to be heard (v14) and for us to establish our faith.
'thy word is truth.' John 17:17.
It doesn't matter what decisions we make in life, the Word of God remains the truth. It needs no defence in that regard. God said His Word was Truth; therefore, it is Truth! We may be financially destitute, but God's Word says, "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." [ Philippians 4:19 ]. We may be unwell, physically or mentally, but the Word says, "by whose stripes you were healed". [ I Peter 2:25 ].
His Word also says, "My brethren, I wish above all things that thou prosper even as thy soul prospers." [3John 2].
We can profess life or death with the tongue. But God has come to give us life, and give it more abundantly. He didn't bring us troubles and trials. The human race causes their own troubles through their disobedience to God's Word. We can say we have 'faith' all day, but if the Word isn't alive in us, then, these things will come upon us, sometimes without a solution.
Faith is built through studying and meditating in the Word, by offering comfort in the troubles and weaknesses of others. Sharing your testimony with the unsaved and reconnecting with the fallen is also a great opportunity to raise your levels of blessing to new heights.
God gave us a measure of faith, but it's up to us what we do with it. Fellowship, worship and spiritual deeds settle our spirit. When we find ourselves drifting off into depression, anger, resentment, etc., over any situation, we should immediately hand over to God. Get your spirit on the right track, and your life will follow!
