Scripture Of The Day
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.John 13:34
Read The Bible In a Year
Hosea 9-11 ; Revelation 3Thoughts For The Day
A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the true value of time.No matter what God gives you to do today, remember, He's preparing you for tomorrow. No matter how tough this day is for you to deal with, it's a part of God's training plan. It carries within it a precious lesson He wants you to learn about Him, about His power, about His love for you, about His gentle, yet powerful, hand on your life. Even in the worst of circumstances, savor them. Seek God's hand in them. Look at what He's doing with you and for you today. And know that He is preparing you to serve Him better tomorrow.
People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering.

Personal Story Of The Day
Being Generous With Our Time
That involves thought, purpose, and effort. Isaiah wrote about a future time when "a king will reign in righteousness" (Isaiah 32:1). This prophetic passage tells us about the coming rule of Christ, but it also gives us a principle that we who bow before Jesus as King can apply today. Isaiah contrasted the schemer who "devises wicked plans" with the generous or noble person who "devises generous things" (v7-8). As Christ's followers, we are to be generous people.
What plans have we made for increased generosity? Are we only hoping to give more time and attention to others, or have we made some specific commitments? If we want to help a person or a cause financially, have we made the first payment? This is a great time to make noble plans that honour God with our vision and generosity.
Jokes Of The Day
A woman named Shirley was from Beverly Hills. One day, she had a heart attack and was taken to Cedars Sinai hospital. While on the operating table, she had a near-death experience. She saw God and asked, "Is this it?" God said, "No, you have another 30 to 40 years to live." Upon her recovery, she decided to stay in the hospital and have collagen shots, cheek implants, a face lift, liposuction and breast augmentation. She even had someone dye her hair. She figured since she had another 30 to 40 years, she might as well make the most of it. She walked out of Cedars Sinai lobby after the last operation and was killed by an ambulance speeding up to the hospital. She arrived in front of God and said, "I thought you said I had another 30 to 40 years?" God replied, "Shirley! I didn't recognize you!"************************************
The boy listened closely as the rabbi read the Bible. 'May I ask a question?' he asked. 'Sure. Go ahead. Ask your question,' replied the rabbi. 'Well, the Bible says that the children of Israel crossed the Red Sea-the children of Israel built the temple-the children of Israel did this and the children of Israel did that. Didn't the grown-ups ever do anything?'
************************************
Minutes before the cremation, the undertaker quietly sat down next to the grieving widow.
"How old was your husband?" he asked.
"He was ninety-eight," she answered softly. "Two years older than I am."
"Really?" the undertaker said. "Hardly worth going home, wouldn't you say?"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
This is now your life
The television show, 'This Is Your Life', offered its guests an entertaining, nostalgic look at all the wonderful things they had accomplished and all the people whose contributions made that person into the success they had become. Many people would come to tears of joy as they relived the greatest memories of their time here on earth.
In Colossians 3, though, Paul changes the direction completely. Instead of This Is Your Life, Paul says that Christ is your life (v4). And those things of the past, all the passing events that attracted the focus of Ecclesiastes, really have become meaningless. Our eyes are on the new life we're living in Christ (v10). It all begins with our thoughts and our attitudes. So, we are to put our hearts and our minds where our Lord is (v1). We are raised with Him, and our thoughts should follow this new life.
We need to stop digging up our old selves and all the evil practices we are prone to (v49). Remember, these are the things that bring God's wrath on men, from the flood, to the enemies of Israel, to the coming judgment on this world (v6). How meaningless would it be to be raised from that spiritual death... and yet constantly trying to return to the grave instead of enjoying the righteousness of Christ? Growth is a process, and we read that our new self is being renewed in knowledge in the image of God (v10).
Notice a couple of other points. First of all, this new self is just that: something new! It answers the cry of Ecclesiastes. But notice, too, that knowledge is part of the process... wisdom is a means to make us more like Christ; but without Him and His Spirit, that wisdom is unattainable (1 Cor 2:13, 14).
Draw Close To God.
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Hebrews 10:22.
All of us want to be loved. But not everyone knows how to love or to be loved. Some will go to extensive means to find love. Little children thrive on love. A child needs the love of his parents. They will go to extremes to get it, even as far as acting up because love is shown to another. They are jealous of the love shown to anyone else but them at times.
I can remember, when my children were small, and my wife would hug me. They would run to get between us, in order to push us away and get the love they thought we were showing one another... even the dog seems to suffer from the same insecurity. God wants your love, too. But he wants you to draw near to Him out of a true heart, one that comes to show Him love unashamed. He doesn't want our second-hand love. He certainly knows whether or not we truly are honest in our serving Him, or whether it's just a front.
We should love Him first, and all others second. Hebrews 4:16 tells us to 'come boldly' to the throne of grace, in our time of need. According to 2 Corinthians 12:13, there is no difference in Jews or Gentiles; we all have access to the throne through one Spirit. We should come to Christ with a true heart turned toward Him. 'By the faith of Him' (Christ) [ Eph 3:12 ], we have boldness and access WITH CONFIDENCE.
If you are One in Him, then you should come to Christ with boldness, draw near to Him for all your needs.
