Personal Story Of The Day
God's Love Needs Our Repentance To Work
About the time we start to think that repentance is only an Old Testament idea, along come verses like this one from the New Testament: "'As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.'" (Rev 3:19). There is an interesting blend of two contrasting actions... love and rebuke. We may not understand how love and rebuke go together, but they do.
It is vital to our understanding of God and the development of our spiritual life to understand that they are both a part of our relationship with Him. God loves us. That is a comforting thought. We do not typically draw as much comfort from the thought that God rebukes us until we realise that His rebuke is an act of love. He cares for us enough to correct us, and His desire is to help us change.
Several times in these letters to the churches, the message of Jesus includes a call to repentance. It is a message that we must not miss nor misunderstand. Do not misunderstand it as being anything but an expression of God's love for us. And do not miss the need for change, removing from your life those things that God says are wrong.
We are saved from the penalty and corruption of sin. God desires that we turn from those sins and determine to do that which is right in His sight. Repentance is truly an action for us today.
Jokes Of The Day
A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, and looked at the old pages as he turned them. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible, and he picked it up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that had been pressed between the pages. 'Momma, look what I found,' the boy called out. 'What have you got there, dear?' his mother asked. With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered: 'I think it's Adam's suit!'Six-year-old Angie and her four-year-old brother Joel were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang, and talked out loud. Finally, his big sister had enough. 'You're not supposed to talk out loud in church.' 'Why? Who's going to stop me?' Joel asked. Angie pointed to the back of the church and said, 'See those two men standing by the door? They're hushers.'

"My only regret in life is that I wasn't born someone else."

A car was involved in an accident in a street. As expected a large crowd gathered. A newspaper reporter, anxious to get his story could not get near the car.
Being a clever sort, he started shouting loudly, "Let me through! Let me through! I am the son of the victim."
The crowd made way for him.
Lying in front of the car was a donkey.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. Matthew 3:15. References from Mark 1:1-12.
Mark's gospel begins with a brief description of the ministry of John, the one who came baptizing in the desert and preaching a baptism of repentance towards the forgiveness of sins. Mark indicates that John's ministry of preaching and baptism fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah 40:3. John was sent to set the stage for the coming Messiah and announce His purpose.
John's message promised that the one who came after him would indeed baptize with the Holy Spirit. According to Matthew's Gospel, John objected when Jesus came to him to be baptized by him. Jesus convinced him by explaining that it was proper to fulfil all righteousness (Matt 3:15).
When the Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove, it affirmed the Father's love for Jesus and marked Him as the one who would baptize in the Spirit. It is significant that the first action Jesus took once He began His public ministry was to respond to the prompting of the Holy Spirit (v12). Jesus' actions exemplify the two most important dimensions of a life of purpose. He knew what God the Father had called Him to do, and He was responsive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in His life.
We too have a purpose to fulfil and are led by the Spirit of God (Phil 2:13; Rom 8:14).
Beyond Abundant Blessings
Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. 1 Kings 3:12-13.
Solomon also discovered that God is no miser. Instead of just the wisdom and understanding the newly crowned king asked for, God gave him riches and honour in abundance as well. Solomon became known as both the wealthiest and wisest king of his time. He found that God's blessings were not simply sufficient; they were overflowing.
Are you expecting God to provide for your needs? Do you think He will give you only the bare necessities? Don't cheat yourself. Expect a lot more from God. He blesses superabundantly. While it isn't always in the material realm, God never fails to give His children blessings in abundance. Our God is the God of abundance. Let Him bless you abundantly.
Facts Of The Day
- Winds that blow toward the equator curve west.
- Hurricanes, tornadoes and bigger bodies of water always go clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. This directional spinning has to do with the rotation of the earth and is called the Coriolis force.
