Read The Bible In a Year
Jeremiah 51-52 ; Hebrews 9Thoughts For The Day
The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth."Often, our distrust contributes to the deceit of others."
Knowledge is power, but enthusiasm pulls the switch.

Personal Story Of The Day
God Is Always ThereAnsel Adams, the well-known landscape photographer and conservationist, told a story about himself that I've been fond of ever since I heard it. Before he became famous as a photographer, he studied piano and showed some talent. At one of his first recitals he played Chopin's Nocturne in F Major. "In some strange way," he said, "my right hand started off in F-sharp major while my left hand behaved well in F major. I could not bring them together. I went through the entire nocturne with the hands separated by a half-step."
The next day, someone walked up to him and jokingly commented, "You never missed a wrong note!" Perhaps you feel that way about your performance in the Lord. You want to follow the ways of the Lord and please Him, but some days it seems that you "never miss a wrong note." You feel like such a failure. "How can God care about a weakling like me?" Yet you can be sure that God loves you and will help you if you reach out to Him.

The psalmist declared that the Lord "teaches sinners in the way. The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way" (Psalm 25:8-9). the Lord has already catered for our failings and dumb moments... he even expects them, but he still serves us with a passion.
So don't give up on yourself... God hasn't! Admit your sins/weaknesses and humbly seek His help today. Pray, read, witness, fellowship... get involved. god is where the action is.

Jokes Of The Day
"Mr. Chilton," the analyst said, "I think this will be your last visit.""Does that mean I'm cured?" he asked.
"For all practical purposes, yes," she said. "I think we can safely say that your kleptomania is now under control. You haven't stolen anything in two years, and you seem to know where the kleptomania came from."
"Well, that's terrific, Doctor. Before I go, I'd like to tell you something. Although our relationship is strictly professional, it's been one of the most rewarding of my life. I wish I could do something to repay you for helping me."
"You've paid my fee," the doctor said. "That's the only responsibility you have."
"I know," Chilton said. "But isn't there some personal favor I could do for you?"
"Well," the doctor said, "I'll tell you what. If you ever suffer a relapse, my son could use a nice portable color television."

The whole neighborhood shook from the explosion. As shopkeepers ran outside to see what happened, they spotted the pharmacist staggering out of his smoldering building.
His white uniform was now scorched black. He went up to a woman standing nearby.
"Lady!" he said. "Would you please ask your doctor to write that prescription again. And this time, PRINT IT!"
************************************
During the "rush hour" at Houston's Hobby Airport, my flight was delayed due to a mechanical problem. Since they needed the gate for another flight, the aircraft was backed away from the gate while the maintenance crew worked on it. We were then told the new gate number, which was some distance away. Everyone moved to the new gate, only to find that a third gate had been designated for us.
After some further shuffling, everyone got on board, and as we were settling in, the flight attendant made the standard announcement, "We apologize for the inconvenience of this last-minute gate change. This flight is going to Washington, D.C. If your destination is not Washington, D.C., then you should 'deplane' at this time."
A very confused-looking and red-faced pilot emerged from the cockpit, carrying his bags. "Sorry," he said, "wrong plane."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Laws Of The Spiritual UniverseWhen Max Perutz died of cancer in 2002 at the age of 87, he was mourned as one of the twentieth century's scientific giants. A fellow scientist remarked: The impact of Max's work remains a foundation on which science is being undertaken today. For his groundbreaking work in molecular biology, he shared the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1962.
Dr. Perutz pioneered the use of X-ray crystallography in studying the body's proteins, and notably, he determined the structure of haemoglobin, the vital molecule which carries oxygen through the blood. Oxygen in the blood brings life to the body. Similarly, blood from animal sacrifices brought spiritual life to Israel.
In the last day or two we've focused on the forgiving nature of God. For the next several days, we'll move on to consider some biblical roots for the idea and practice of forgiveness. The Old Testament sacrificial system is a good place to start. The major sacrifices were the burnt offering, grain offering, fellowship offering, sin offering, and guilt offering... we'll focus on the last two of these.
The sin offering was mandatory and was made for specific, unintentional sins. The guilt offering was also required, it accompanied restitution for various sins, even if the sins were unintentional. Leviticus 47 emphasizes the holiness of these sacrifices, the holiness of seeking forgiveness. When a man laid hands on the animal to be sacrificed, he identified with it, accepting responsibility for the sins about to be punished.

Leviticus 47 emphasizes the holiness of these sacrifices, the holiness of seeking forgiveness. When a man laid hands on the animal to be sacrificed, he identified with it, accepting responsibility for the sins about to be punished.
The animal died in his place as his substitute. When the priest sprinkled blood, it represented atonement for sin. The animal offered needed to be unblemished or perfect. That plus restitution (in the case of the guilt offering) served as evidence of true repentance or contrition.
We know that the animal blood didn't actually atone for sin. However, directly or indirectly, the process highlighted the seriousness of sin, the necessity of a changed heart, and the greatness of God's love in extending forgiveness. The animal sacrifices foreshadowed the once for all sacrifice of Christ. Through His sacrifice we receive forgiveness, and His blood cleanses us.

As under the law... the day you repent and confess your sin... the same day you are forgiven and your sins exist no longer... as far as the east is from the west are they removed... see yesterday's post.
Created for Blessing
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:28.
Something fantastic happened when God created man. Man did not come into existence by chance, but as a result of God's thoughts, counsel and plans. When He had created man, He spoke His first words to him. He did not utter threatening admonitions. He did not come with strict warnings. He blessed man.
To bless is something awesome. We are sometimes careless with words, but God is not. To bless means to pass power and life to another person using words. When the Lord initially blessed the first two people, He said, 'Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth'. God wanted His life to spread through man. The life He breathed into man was meant to reproduce and eventually fill the whole earth. In this way the whole earth would be filled with the glory of the Lord.
This was lost because of the fall of Adam and Eve, but through Jesus it was restored. His Spirit, His life, comes into us, and when we are born into this new life by the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Jesus looks at us and says the same words the Father said to Adam and Eve. He blesses us and tells us to be fruitful, to multiply and to fill the earth.

We are both created and re-created to bear fruit. We are blessed. We are fruit bearers, created to spread God's blessings in everything we are and do.
