Read The Bible In a Year
Jeremiah 32-33 ; Hebrews 1Thoughts For The Day
Never go backward. Attempt, and do it with all your might. Determination is power.Those who don't understand determination call determination stubbornness or too driven. To be determined is to see it through!
Rumor travels faster, but it don't stay put as long as truth.

Personal Story Of The Day
A Clear MindHarry A. Ironside (1876-1951) was one of the most loved and most effective Bible teachers of the early 20th century. According to a close friend, Ironside devoted the first hour of every day to Bible study and prayer. It was his "morning watch," as he put it, and a necessary part of every day. On one occasion when Ironside was lecturing at a seminary, a student came to him and said, "Dr. Ironside, I understand that you get up early every morning to read and study your Bible."
"Oh, I've been doing it ever since I became a Christian," he replied.
"Well, how do you manage to do it?" the student asked. "Do you pray about it?"
"No," Ironside said. "I get up."
Ironside knew that his spiritual life depended on a regular time in the Word of God. He didn't need to ask God if he should do it, or to give him the desire to do it. He regarded this discipline as absolutely necessary in the development of his spiritual life and his influence on others. He couldn't get along without it. We can learn from this attitude because our modern generation tends to lean on others to get motivated.
The reach of the government into everyday life sees many people lacking motivation and relying on others, to take responsibility for their lives. 'But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves'. Jam 1:22.
Jokes Of The Day

************************************
A pregnant Irish woman from Dublin is involved in a car accident and falls into a deep coma. Asleep for nearly 6 months, when she wakes up she sees that she is no longer pregnant and frantically asks the doctor about her baby.
The doctor replies, "Ma'am you had twins! a boy and a girl. Your Uncle from Cork came in and named them."
The woman thinks to herself, "Oh No, not my Uncle... he's an idiot!"
She asks the doctor,"Well, what's the girl's name?"
"Denise."
"Wow, that's not a bad name, I like it! What's the boy's name?"
"Denephew."
************************************
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.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Greatest City Ever, Is About To Come SoonSeveral years ago Amos Elon commented in the New Yorker about the unrest that has been a feature of the city of Jerusalem for so long. 'Hardly a day passes in the 'holy city' without a riot or a stoning, without cars being torched or firebombs thrown, without attempted lynchings or the stabbing of an Israeli by a Palestinian (or vice versa)', he noted. After each incident, municipal cleaning machines, marked 'CITY OF PEACE' in three languages, appear on the scene to wash the blood from the streets in time for the next group of tourists to pass by.
This is still true today... Jerusalem is a place of conflict. Yet it will not always be the case. Speaking through the prophet Joel, God promised to make Jerusalem His dwelling place once again (Joel 3:17). In the time of David, the Lord chose to reveal Himself in a special way in Jerusalem. In 1 Kings 11:36 He called it 'the city where I chose to put my Name'. David relocated the tabernacle there, and it was the place where his son Solomon later built the temple. Because of this, the Psalmist described the Lord as him who dwells in Jerusalem (Psa 135:21).
Unfortunately, the people of Judah came to view the presence of the temple as a talisman. They believed that it made them exempt from divine judgment. But, in 586 B.C. God allowed the city of Jerusalem to fall to the Babylonians.
The destruction of Jerusalem did not mean the end of the city or of God's special interest in it. The book of Joel ends on a note of hope as the prophet points forward to a time when Jerusalem would once again be known as the Lord's dwelling place. At that time, Joel predicted, God would make Jerusalem permanently safe from all its enemies (Joel 3:17).
The prophet also predicted that this would be a time of unparalleled abundance. Although its enemies would be reduced to a desert waste, Jerusalem would run with water (v18). Best of all, Judah and Jerusalem would be inhabited forever... and their sins would be fully pardoned (v20-21)!
Joel's promises for Jerusalem are also relevant for us. God will dwell with His people in the New Jerusalem, and He promises to wipe away every tear from their eyes (Rev 21:3-4). Make a list of the things that have been a source of tears for you. Next to each item write the reference Revelation 21:3-4. When you are finished, spend time meditating on these verses, praising the Lord and rejoicing in the promise of God dwelling with us
The Gifts of the Spirit
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. I Corinthians 12:1
Sometimes we are spiritually ignorant, especially concerning the spiritual gifts. As a result of our ignorance these gifts have often been left dormant. People have been sceptical, afraid, or simply unwilling to seek and understand them. But we cannot manage without them. We cannot accomplish supernatural tasks with only natural means. We really need the gifts of the Holy Spirit. They are our tools, our weapons and our means.
The word for spirit in Hebrew, also means wind. Wind consists of air and particularly oxygen. Without oxygen we cannot live. This is exactly how it is with the Holy Spirit. He is our spiritual oxygen. Without Him we cannot live. If something is wrong with our lungs, our entire body is affected; we become weak or ill. Not to receive the full capacity of the Holy Spirit has the same effect; we lack oxygen and become weak.

Not to receive the full capacity of the Holy Spirit has the same effect; we lack oxygen and become weak.
When we are weak, we can neither work nor live. Therefore, we need the full capacity of the Holy Spirit in our life. We not only need to manifest the fruits of the Spirit; we need the gifts of the Spirit, as well. If the fruits of the Spirit are the characteristics of the Father passed on to His children, then the gifts of the Spirit are the Father's abilities passed on to His children. We need both.
Jesus modeled the spiritual life for us, and He constantly lived through the life and gifts of the Spirit. The Spirit of the Lord was over Him to heal and set the captives free. The same Spirit is in and over us to enable us to do the same works that Jesus did. And the gifts of the Spirit are the power supply for this work. God starts off by giving us one of the gifts when we receive the Holy Spirit (tongues)... we get to experience all the gifts if we walk in the spirit.
