Personal Story Of The Day
Soon And Very Soon
Those who have received the Spirit are on a journey filled with difficulties, setbacks, tragedies, and obstacles. Trouble always seems to be present or just around the corner. Yet we know that an indescribably great destination is in our future (1Peter 1:4). And sometimes the assurance of what's reserved for us in heaven is all that keeps us going. Peter understood. He said that as we make our way through life, we will suffer grief as a result of our troubles. Yet we can actually rejoice through our difficulties, because God has reserved something special for us at the end of the journey. Troubled today? Look ahead. Heaven will be worth the trip.
Jokes Of The Day
The Queen was showing the Archbishop around the Royal Stables when a stallion passed gas very loudly."Oh dear," said the Queen, "I'm sorry about that."
"That's okay" said the Archbishop, "I thought it was the horse."

Two men were walking home after a Halloween party and decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery just for laughs. Right in the middle of the cemetery they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows. Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones.
"Holy cow, Mister," one of them said after catching his breath, "You scared us half to death -- we thought you were a ghost! What are you doing working here so late at night?"
"Those fools!" the old man grumbled. "They misspelled my name!"
************************************
Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, "I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed."
She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches, rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.
She then put some wet clothes into the dryer, put a load of clothes into the wash, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She picked up the newspapers strewn on the floor, picked up the game pieces left on the table and put the telephone book back into the drawer. She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry.
She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the field trip, and pulled a textbook out from hiding under the chair. She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store. She put both near her purse.
Mom then washed her face, put on moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth and trimmed her nails. Hubby called, "I thought you were going to bed."
"I'm on my way," she said.
She put some water into the dog's dish and put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked. She looked in on each of the kids and turned out a bedside lamp, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks in the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework.
In the bedroom, she set the alarm, laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her list of things to do for tomorrow.
About that time, hubby turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular "I'm going to bed," and he did.

Riddle Of The Day
This thing all things devours; Birds, beasts, trees, flowers; Gnaws irons, bites steel; Grinds hard stones to meal; Slays king, ruins town, And beats high mountain down.Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
Walk on the living, they don't even mumble, step on the dead, they mutter and grumble. What is the thing that is muttering and grumbling?
Dead leaves after they fall from a tree in Autumn
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Godly Discernment.
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment. Philippians 1:9. References from Philippians 1:9-11.
The New Testament uses the metaphor of fruit to teach several key truths. For example, Jesus taught that you can recognize people, especially false prophets, by the fruit of their lives, that is, by what they do and with what results. He also characterized Himself as a vine, His Father as the gardener, and His disciples as branches that need to abide in Him in order to bear fruit, that is, to do God's work successfully. And Paul gave the Galatian church his famous list of fruit of the Spirit, that is, qualities the Holy Spirit cultivates in obedient believers (Matt 7:15-20; John 15:1-8; Gal 5:22-25).
Along the same lines, Paul spoke in the above verses of the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ (v11). These verses are a second example of how Paul prayed for the churches under his care. He gave thanks for the growth of the Philippian church, and especially for their partnership with him in the work of spreading the gospel. He prayed for their love to grow... or actually, not just to grow, but to become plentiful, abound, multiply, and overflow to others. However, Paul finished this phrase differently from how we might do... in knowledge and depth of insight. This means that love is not primarily a feeling or sentiment, but rather a spiritual quality and action... eyes that see in tandem with a heart willing to do. Therefore, Paul prayed that such love would result in discernment and holiness.
Godly discernment is the ability to see what is best, the path of obedience. Choosing obedience is the only way to righteous and pure living on our spiritual journey. Because eternal life is based on our willingness to go about the Lord's business, his way and not our own, we will be held accountable for our obedience on the day of Christ (v10). When we stand before God, our lives will be the evidence of His love at work in us. What will this look like? If we have followed Him, we will be filled with the fruit of righteousness... our actions will show love, service, and devotion to Christ and His gospel. Such righteousness comes not through ourselves, but through Christ, and reveals God's glory (fruit) not our own.
Selective Memory
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger. Exodus 16:2-3.
Israel had a familiar problem... a selective memory. After only a short time in the wilderness, they had forgotten how they were required to make bricks without straw, how they had been beaten by merciless taskmasters and how the midwives were commanded to kill the infant Israelite boys to appease Pharaoh's fears. Instead, they remembered only the pots of meat and the loaves of bread they had enjoyed.
Satan may be tempting you in the same way. Maybe this new life is more difficult than you expected and your days as an unbeliever (as you now remember them), are looking pretty good after all. Perhaps the devil is reminding you of the sinful things you enjoyed in your old life and blocking the memories of despair and emptiness you felt as an unsaved person. Ask God to cut through these selective memories and help you recall the reality of the past. Don't be fooled by Satan's selective memories and those that live by them.
