Personal Story Of The Day
Resistance Is Futile... Maybe Even Infantile.
"I don't have to listen to you!" That's a sentence parents don't like to hear from their teenage children. It means they have decided not to obey their parents. Usually, it's spoken in anger and soon forgotten. Sometimes, though, a teen might decide to make that attitude a way of life. When that happens, it's hard for everyone in the family. A child's refusal to obey authority creates ongoing turmoil in the home and saps the joy from life.
The teenager openly rebels, thinking he would be happier by resisting authority. But instead, he can actually become miserable in his heart. The prophet Isaiah told about some resisters... rebellious, lying people who refused to listen to what God was saying (30:8-17). In effect, they said to Him, "We've heard enough. We don't have to listen to You!" Their heart of resistance turned them against God's truth.
Rebellion is not limited to teens or to the people of Isaiah's day. Sometimes we too wear the resister label.
We read God's Word and decide it's too restrictive. Or we sense that God wants us to do something, and we run from it... just like Jonah's original reaction before the fish ended his resistance. That leads only to misery. Instead, if we obey God's Word, we will enjoy His peace in our hearts.

Riddle Of The Day
Paul: what room has no walls, no ceiling and no floor?Answer to Yesterday's Riddle
This thing all things devours; Birds, beasts, trees, flowers; Gnaws irons, bites steel; Grinds hard stones to meal; Slays king, ruins town, And beats high mountain down.
Time.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
A Jealous Love
Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy? Proverbs 27:4. References from Song of Solomon 8:5-7.
An old song says, 'Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me'. The bride might have sung the same words. Today's verses describe the couple's return to an ancestral home, although we aren't given more details in the text. People marvel at the sight of the bride, who appears coming up from the desert leaning on her beloved (v5). This may suggest that she was pregnant with their first child, and they are returning home for the birth.
The imagery the bride uses as she speaks to the groom emphasises the importance of commitment and the power of love. For example, she asks him to place her like a seal over his heart. Seals were often made of gold or precious gems and were given as a pledge. They were used to signify ownership and right of access (not slavery or bondage... but a guaranteed position of respect and authority).
Even today, wedding rings are given and worn as a kind of seal. They symbolise that we have made a solemn obligation to be faithful to the one they have wed.
The bride's call to faithfulness is accompanied by a warning about jealousy. Jealousy is one of the works of the flesh listed in Galatians 5:20 (emulations). But jealousy is also an attribute of God. He is a jealous God (Ex 20:5; 34:14). In His case, jealousy is appropriate. God alone deserves our worship. In some contexts, human jealousy is also an appropriate response.
Jealousy arouses a partner's fury and sparks a desire for justice (Prov 6:34). Jealousy can protect a marriage, or it can wreck a marriage... it all depends upon the motive and how it is exercised.
Obsessions!
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Psalms 86:5.
Have you ever found yourself obsessing over something of which you have no control? It quickly seems to take over your whole life, unless you quickly get it in order! The first thing to do, when you find yourself obsessing over something, is to find out why you are obsessing. Is it something you can change? Is it something that you need, desire, but, can't seem to obtain? Is it worth living the life of misery?
If you can truly say that you can't really understand why you seem to be obsessed, it is time you took it before the Lord, and repented. I can assure you, no pill is going to help! He is the only one that will be able to help you overcome the struggle in your life. He can remove the worry and obsession, giving you peace in every situation.
Oh, so you've been down that path before? You've repented, only to digress, and begin obsessing again? There is hope for you. God knows our weaknesses, and He can help us overcome them.
However, we have to be willing to abide by His Word. He wants us to place our faith and trust in Him, and not look back. If you keep digressing spiritually, after awhile, you will accept failure as a way of life. So, lean on the Lord, and through His Spirit and power within you, you will be able to get an advantage over your obsession and move forward once again!
