Scripture Of The Day
Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust [in thee] from those that rise up [against them]. Psalms 17:7.Read The Bible In a Year
Numbers 26-28; Mark 8.Thoughts For The Day
It isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.No matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
When one door of life closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us

Personal Story Of The Day
Cleaning UpWhen I read the story of Jesus washing the disciples' feet, I ponder why He was doing that for them (there are a number of spiritual insights incorporated within this story, but my focus today will remain on the simple act itself).
John, for instance, was a close friend. Then there were Peter and Andrew, who had been so faithful in following their Master.
Each of the disciples must have had something that endeared him to Jesus. But why did He also wash the feet of Judas? Jesus knew that He was stooping down to serve the one who would soon stoop to perform history's worst act of treachery. Jesus was performing the most menial of tasks for a person who treated the Creator of the universe as being someone worth no more than 30 pieces of silver.
Knowingly, the One whose name is associated with giving life, got His hands dirty to serve the one whose name would stand for betrayal and death for the rest of time. Doesn't Jesus' example tell us something special about service? Doesn't it remind us that we are not called to serve only those who are like us, or even those who care for us?
We are called to serve all people... the lovely and the unlovely, the friendly and the not so friendly. When was the last time you "washed the feet" of someone like Judas?
Jokes Of The Day
Benjamin is in the midst of a long dry spell in Las Vegas. Eventually he gambles away all his money and has to borrow a quarter from another gambler just to use the men's room. He finds a stall that happens to be open and pockets the quarter.Believing that his luck has finally changed, he puts the quarter in a slot machine and hits the jackpot. He takes his winnings and goes to the blackjack table and turns his modest winnings into a million dollars.
Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams, Benjamin goes on the lecture circuit, where he tells his incredible story. He tells his audiences that he will always be eternally grateful to his benefactor, and if he ever finds the man he will share his fortune with him.
After months of speaking, a man in the audience jumps up and says, "I'm that man. I was the one who gave you the quarter."
"Yes, I remember you well, but you aren't the one I'm looking for. I mean the guy who left the stall door open!"

An elderly man went to the doctor for a visit. "Doc," he says," I am so stricken. I have chest pains, headaches, back pains, nausea, arthritis, constipation, stomach cramps, earaches, burning in the eyes, congested lungs..."
"Sir," says the doctor, "you complain you have so many things. What don't you have?"
The man answers, "Teeth."
************************************
A blonde was driving back from the mall when there was a terrible hail storm. Huge hail stones the size of golf balls pelted her car leaving it full of dents. She drove to the body shop and asked what she should do. The body man explained what needed to be done and that it would cost at least $4,000 to repair. She said that was too much and asked if there was some other way to fix it.
The body man decided to have a little fun and said, "Well you could blow into the tail pipe real hard and they might pop back out." She decided to give it a try before spending that much money.
She drove home and was in the garage with her lips wrapped around the exhaust pipe when her blonde neighbour came over to visit.
"What are you doing?" she shrieked thinking the worst and thankful that she may have just prevented her friend from committing suicide.
"I'm blowing into the tailpipe real hard to pop all these dents out of my car," explained the first blonde.
"Well silly, it's not going to work," replied her neighbour.
"Why not?" asked the first blonde.
"Because you've got to roll up the windows first."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Making Your free time work.
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. Mark 12:30. References from Mark 12:28-34.
A brother in the Lord tells the story of a gift he bought his wife for Valentine's Day (another costly excuse for a gift). After thinking long and hard, he purchased a very useful item... a rechargeable hand vacuum cleaner. You can imagine her reaction! Later that day at a business dinner, the other wives were talking about their gifts of flowers, special chocolates, and jewellry.
Petrified, he leaned over to his wife and begged her not to tell anyone what he had so foolishly given her as a romantic gift! A good gift, of course, shows attention to the feelings and desires of the recipient. It shows love.
The same principle applies in our leisure choices. If we are to make free time decisions which show love for God, we must pay close attention to our Lord's commands and desires. This is a helpful principle we can apply on a daily basis.
Beginning today, and for the next few posts, we'll build on the foundations we've been laying in practical ways. How might we make specific Godly leisure decisions in everyday situations?
The rabbis had counted 613 commandments within the Law, so the question of which one was most important wasn't easy. But the bottom line is that there is only one God.
Therefore, we are to love Him only and wholly, which also implies loving our neighbour (v29-31; Deut. 6:45). The teacher who had asked the question agreed... he understood that loving God (demonstrated through servitude) was the heart of the spiritual life and that this far outweighed rituals and sacrifices (v33).
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14.
Evil is already here, and the people of the world want more... lot's more. Wise Christians understand the importance of letting God lead, guide and direct their life... especially in the time we are living in. Now isn't the time to go out on our own and think we can make it without the power given to us through the Holy Spirit. Society has badly slackened off on its morals.
Movies that would once have been given an M rating, are now rated PG. Parents can no longer feel confident that their teenagers won't see immorality or violence, or perhaps even more, in PG movies.
It's just another way that evil is slipping up on those of us who have been asleep at the wheel. When we lose control of the ship, it goes quickly off course, perhaps to be grounded on rocks. When we lose control of our morals, then, we are headed for ruin. For too long, we have sat back and let the secular society run the country, taking away more and more rights of Christians, all in the name of political correctness. Christians have been either too timid or felt too intimidated to speak their minds or stand up for their beliefs.
Even though we have no obvious power through the press or media, there is no time like the present to let others know what you stand for. Today is not too early to say 'enough is enough'. If there's nothing you can do but pray, then pray.
If there are other things you can do, by all means, get out and do it. No longer feel there is no use doing the little you can do, thinking that it won't help, because it will.
Prayer changes things. With God, all things are possible and when we go to bat for that which is right, you have God on your side. Remember, the bible asks us to pray for our political leaders... that is also the will of God!! He didn't say he would save them, he only wants the chance to give them some direction that they might not have considered as yet... a nudge in the right direction.
