Scripture Of The Day
Wine [is] a mocker, strong drink [is] raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. Proverbs 20:1.Read The Bible In a Year
Exodus 9-11; Matthew 15:21-39.Thoughts For The Day
All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.Prayer is for the religious life what original research is for science- by it we get direct contact with reality... We pray because we were made for prayer, and God draws us out by breathing himself in.
Everyone complains of his memory, no one of his judgment.

Personal Story Of The Day
It Is Always Good To Get A Fresh Start
A friend's little boy looked up at his mother and asked, "Mum, do you know why God made us?" Knowing that her son had his own explanation, she asked, "Well, do you know why?" "Oh, that's easy. Because the people in the Bible were so bad, He wanted to start again." When you think about it, it's easy to see how this first grader could come up with such a conclusion.
When he listens to the Bible stories in Sunday School, he hears about Adam and Eve, who ruined things for all of us. He hears about Jonah, who wouldn't obey God and was swallowed by a big fish. He hears about Judas, who betrayed Jesus for 30 silver coins. The Bible is painfully realistic in its portrayal of people.
It is not a whitewashed version of the history of God's people. In its honest presentation of its characters, the Bible proves that we all need to be forgiven of our sins. The "bad" people of the Bible remind us that "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
But there's great news. God did provide a way to "start over." He sent Jesus, who died so that we could become new creations through the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 5:17). We were all bad people once and may do some pretty dumb things again, but every day of our lives we get a fresh start.
Jokes Of The Day
The customer agreed and left with the rat. As he walked home, he noticed that a live rat came scurrying out of an alley and began to follow him. Soon there were more, all following him and milling bout his feet. The man began to run, but the rats kept up, and more joined the procession. After a few minutes, thousands of rats were chasing after the man. The man ran frantically for the river, and threw the brass rat into the water. The live rats followed the brass rat, and soon all had drowned.
The man returned to the curio shop, and on seeing him enter, the shopkeeper shouted, "I told you, the sale was final! You cannot return the brass rat!" The customer replied, "That's no problem. I just wondered if you had a brass mother-in-law in stock."

Murphy Laws of Computing
1. When computing, whatever happens, behave as though you meant it to happen.
2. When you get to the point where you really understand your computer, it's probably obsolete.
3. The first place to look for information is in the section of the manual where you'd least expect to find it.
4. When the going gets tough, upgrade.
5. For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.
6. To err is human...to blame your computer for your mistakes is even more human, it's downright natural.
7. He who laughs last, probably has a back-up.
8. The number one cause of computer problems is computer solutions.
9. A complex system that doesn't work is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler system that worked just fine.
10. A computer program will always do what you tell it to do, but rarely what you want it to do.

A man in a hot air balloon realised he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted,
"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an Hour ago but I don't know where I am."
The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees North latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."
"You must be in Information Technology," said the balloonist.
"I am," replied the woman, "how did you know?"
"You must be in Information Technology," said the balloonist.
"I am," replied the woman, "how did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is probably
Technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information
And the fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip."
The woman below responded, "You must be in Management."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot Air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems.
The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met,
but now, somehow, NOW, it's all my fault."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Working Together And With God
But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, Galatians 4:18. References from Galatians 4:12-20.
As we saw yesterday, submitting to the Law would result in Paul's Gentile converts being pushed away from God rather than being brought nearer to Him. There were additional implications. Not only would the Galatian Christians be driven from God, they would also be alienated from the very people, such as Paul, who first pointed them to Christ (v16-17).
Given this alienation both from God and from others, Paul hints at the obvious conclusion... zeal for the Law is the opposite of zeal for Christ (v17-18). Before Paul leads his readers to consider this, he sets about reminding them of the joy and love they once shared with one another (v12-16). He reminds them how he first came to Galatia and preached the gospel there. Apparently, he stayed in that region on account of illness.
Those to whom he first gave the good news of Jesus, lovingly cared for him during this time of sickness. Paul is convinced that the bond they shared with one another was so close that the Galatians would have plucked out their own eyes if it could have helped him. This is the type of zeal and unity that keeps a church effective and safe.
How's The Weather?
The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2
Our lives can be a little like the weather. It changes from day to day. Like the weather, we usually have warning signs, but sometimes, we fail to heed those signs. Then, our lives are sort of topsy turvy! Fear sets in, we get depressed, and we are in turmoil. Our spiritual life sometimes imitates the weather conditions. One day we are all geared up to follow the Lord, whatever the consequence. But along the way, natural forces besiege us, and we slack off.
Sometimes, we don't even realise what is happening. We just become sort of lukewarm in our fellowship; church isn't interesting anymore. Perhaps we aren't even motivated to go to all that much anymore. There is nothing that satan would like any more than to get you into a state of denial. He wants you to think his path is the one that will give you happiness and power. And then, when you give heed to those thoughts, you realise you haven't reached the safety you wanted, but have succumbed to false ideals!
Remember that God's way is the way to salvation. Only through Him will you find peace and contentment. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and end of our faith. Only He can give us power to overcome the forces of the enemy and the power of your pride. Calm or stormy, Jesus Christ is always beside you. Do as he did... how could that ever go against you or end badly?
