Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Romans 3:28.Read The Bible In a Year
Exodus 39-40; Matthew 23:23-39.Thoughts For The Day
Courage and perseverance have mystical properties, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.Ours is a world where people don`t know what they want and are willing to go through hell to get it.
Enthusiasm releases the drive to carry you over obstacles and adds significance to all you do.

Personal Story Of The Day
A Stingy Spirit
Some people will do anything to save a dollar. Like the miserly uncle I read about who invited his nephews to hunt for gold nuggets in the paddock behind his house. Before the search could begin, however, he told the excited youngsters they had to move all the rocks out of the paddock and clear away the underbrush.
By the time they were finished, it was too late to search for the gold.
Later, they learned that none had ever been found on his property. When they complained to their dad, he said, "My old skinflint brother tricked you into a free day's work." Those boys will not soon forget how they were taken advantage of. There's nothing wrong with being frugal. It's a matter of good stewardship. But there is something wrong with being so thrifty that you won't pay a boy what he's worth.
Stinginess at the cost of someone else's humiliation or hurt is not what our Lord wants. In 1 Timothy 6:18, we learn that we are to "do good" and be "ready to give, willing to share."
We are to be fair, giving, and generous people. God is the ultimate giver. He gave His Son, an unbelievable sacrifice, to offer us a new life (John 3:16). Let's follow His example of love and generosity... then we won't be accused of being miserly with our use of the Spirit. A person who develops a generous heart is better equipped to do the will of the Lord.
Jokes Of The Day
A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, 5, and Ryan, 3. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my brother have the first pancake. I can wait.' Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, 'Ryan, you be Jesus.'************************************
A guy is walking into the doctor's office when a nun comes running out screaming and crying.
The guy walks in and say, "Doc, what's with the nun?"
The doctor says, "Oh, I just told her she was pregnant."
The guy says, "The nun's pregnant?"
The doctor says, "No. But it certainly cured her hiccups."
************************************
A gawky lad from New England came to New York with his girl, and took her to nearby Playland Amusement Park. They had heard a lot about the Tunnel of Love and were especially anxious to try it out. But when they got home, the kids expressed disappointment.
“Shucks,” the boy said, “it was dark and damp and uncomfortable. Besides, we got soaking wet.”
“How come?” asked a friend. “Did the boat leak?”
The kid looked amazed. “There’s a boat?”

Riddle Of The Day
My silent friendHas a face.
It has no eyes, no nose, no mouth!
Many freckles coat its face
And a patch of green hair it has.
A heart-shaped face it is said to have So tell me once and tell me here, Who is the sweet yet silent friend that I have?
Answer to Yesterday's Riddle
This is an ancient Latin riddle. Can you figure it out? A prickly house a little host contains; The pointed weapons keep back from pains, So he, unarmed, safe in his fort remains.
A hedgehog.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Master And Saviour
My yoke is easy and my burden is light. - Matthew 11:30. References from Matthew 11:25-30.
In the popular Charles Dickens story, 'A Christmas Carol', the miser Ebeneezer Scrooge worked his long-suffering employee Bob Cratchit to the breaking point. He provided only minimal heat, expected Cratchit to work on holidays, and constantly exuded an air of criticism and suspicion. No one would want to work for a boss like Scrooge!
In our verse today, we see a portrait of a very different sort. Jesus, the Son of God and Lord of all, promises rest and ease. He is gentle and humble. He cares about our situation. In the early verses of our topic, Jesus is praying to the Father. The context of this passage revolves around revealing heavenly wisdom to those who are like children (v25).
The description of Jesus that follows runs contrary to the way the world views power and leadership... you don't often hear moguls, dictators, or superstars described as gentle.
First, Jesus' gentleness is connected to His invitation to come to Him (v28). He invites those who are weary and burdened, not only those who are powerful and strong. Then He promises rest to the heavy hearted. Our gentle Saviour is not like Scrooge, trying to squeeze every drop of our potential for His own gain. He cares deeply about our well-being.
Second, we should not confuse Jesus' gentleness with being soft or wishy washy. Jesus is still our Master and Lord. He still provides a yoke for us (v30).
But unlike any other master we could follow, only He cares for our souls and provides a burden we can manage. He is our Master, but Jesus will never treat us with abuse.
Jehovah Jireh
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah Jireh (that is, The Lord will provide) (Genesis 22:14).
Many times, we might think God has forgotten us. We can't seem to find comfort with Him. But sometimes it's our fault that God seems to be nowhere around. We forget to invite Him in! Picture this scenario: I have brought you a gift. I set it on the table, but you never pick it up. The gift is yours for the taking, but you are afraid to touch it.
God's provisions for your life is like that. He is our provider. No matter what the problem may be... materially, physically, mentally; He will provide. His gracious attitude and provision is sufficient for you.
BUT you have to want that provision enough to ask for it! Yes, he knows what you are thinking, but he wants you to ask. There is nothing he won't do for his chosen people. God sent Christ to die for us, for His blood to cover all our sins. Why wouldn't he do the little things to make us comfortable as we walk here on earth, spreading the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ?
God is a God of love. We were made in his image, in his likeness. If we follow after Him, obey his voice, He will surely provide for our needs. He is Jehovah Jireh - "My Provider".
