Personal Story Of The Day
Love For The Living
"Why this waste?" asked one at the table who seemingly expressed fake concern for the poor (Matthew 26:8-9). If they had been attending Jesus' funeral rather than a dinner with Him, they may have reacted quite differently. Yet, when Mary showed Him her extravagant love while He was alive, she was severely criticised for such waste. We can learn a valuable lesson from Mary's devotion. We need to breakout our best perfumes for the living. Yet all too often we wait until someone we know has died to show the appreciation that we fail to show in life.
Is there someone who comes to your mind, a friend or family member, who would be honoured and encouraged by an expression of your love and appreciation? Then do something to show it... while the person is still alive.
Jokes Of The Day
At the Boeing Museum of Flight in Seattle, there is a full size mockup of an F/A-18 fighter. A ramp allows visitors to climb into the cockpit and get a sense of what the pilot sees and feels. A guide at the top of the ramp points out the various controls and gauges in the cockpit and gives information about the aircraft's capabilities to each visitor who gets in. When my two-year-old son sat down in the plane, he seemed fascinated by all he saw and heard. Then, he looked out at us and said, "Gramma, could I have a quarter?"************************************
A customer was continually bothering the waiter in a restaurant; first, he'd asked that the air conditioning be turned up because he was too hot, then he asked it be turned down cause he was too cold, and so on for about half an hour.
Surprisingly, the waiter was very patient, walking back and forth and never once getting angry. So finally, a second customer asked why didn't they just throw out the pest.
"Oh I don't care." said the waiter with a smile. "We don't even have an air conditioner."

Young Son: Is it true, Dad, I heard that in some parts of Africa a man doesn't know his wife until he marries her?
Dad: That happens in every country, son.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
A Promise To The Whole World
...and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Genesis 12:3. References from Genesis 12:1-9.
Several years ago, balloonist Steve Fossett completed one of the most amazing journeys in the history of flight. On his sixth attempt, he became the first person to fly around the world alone without a motor. Fossett and his balloon, the Spirit of Freedom, travelled for 13 days and more than 19,000 miles. He wore an oxygen mask most of the trip and had to change fuel tanks and do other maintenance tasks under freezing conditions. When he reached the south-western tip of Australia on July 3, 2002, he made history!
In today's verses, Abram also made an amazing journey. He left behind his home, culture and everything he knew. By leaving his father's household, he may have also forfeited his right to an inheritance. He didn't even know his destination... all he had to go on was the character and promise of God. But for Abram, that was enough and the 75 year-old stepped out in faith.
Earlier their family had moved from Ur to Haran; then after his father's death Abram set out again and stopped in Canaan, the promised land (v7). There he set up an altar and worshiped the Lord. Hebrews 11:8-10 captures his heart: By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents . . . For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
Abram's faith is certainly on display here, but God's greatness and worthiness to be trusted are even more so. He made a covenant with Abram, a breathtaking series of promises about what He would do for him. He would make his name great... as opposed to what people attempted at Babel, bypassing God and trying to be great by their own egos. Alternatively, God would turn one clan into a nation. He would bless and curse those who blessed and cursed His chosen people. And He would make this nation into a blessing for all nations (v2-3).
Instant... Obedience
"This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised." Genesis 17:10.
Then He finished talking with him, and God went up from Abraham. So Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house and all who were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham 's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very same day, as God had said to him. Genesis 17:22-23.
Supermarkets are filled with all kinds of instant products... instant pudding, instant coffee, instant soup, instant potatoes and so much more. We seem to want everything instantly these days. Unfortunately, no supermarket stocks instant obedience. Throughout his years of walking with the Lord, Abraham learned that the best type of obedience was instant obedience. When God declared circumcision to be the sign of His covenant with Abraham and his descendants, he lost no time in seeing that every male in his household was circumcised. Nor did he exclude himself.
It was not a matter of "I direct; you perform." At the age of 99, Abraham subjected himself to the same temporary discomfort as everyone else. Doing God 's will knows no rank or privileges. This same instant obedience should be a part of our walk today. To become a Christian is relatively simple; to live like one is another matter. We become a Christian by repentant faith and the infilling of the Holy Spirit; we live as a Christian only as we obey Christ 's commands.
The extent of that commitment is measured by the speed with which we obey. The Holy Spirit says through the writer of Hebrews, "Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:" (Heb 3:7-8). If the Lord has been pricking you about a matter of obedience, stop delaying.
The blessing you receive by doing God 's will is directly proportional to the speed with which you begin to do it. Salvation is through faith; maturity and overcoming is through obedience.
