Scripture Of The Day
O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: Psalms 7:11.Read The Bible In a Year
Ezekiel 24-26; 1 Peter 2.Thoughts For The Day
No matter the consequences, those who are honest with themselves get farther in life.Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
Many people think that if they were only in some other place, or had some other job, they would be happy. Well, that is doubtful. So get as much out of what you are doing as you can and don't put off being happy until some future date.

Personal Story Of The Day
Motivated
When Xmas or Easter nears, people think about God and goodwill more than they do at any other time. It seems that the nearer we get to these events, the more we notice that people have a willingness to express an interest in religious attitudes.
Does this heightened religious activity truly honour the Lord? We must be careful that what takes place is not what happened to the people of Zechariah's day. Although they engaged in religious activities, they were out to please only themselves. A vital element was missing... obedience to God.
Instead of their conducting empty rituals, God wanted them to show their obedience to Him by: (1) administering true justice, (2) showing mercy and compassion, (3) refusing to oppress widows, orphans, and the poor, and (4) not planning evil against others (Zechariah 7:9-10).
Our Lord does not want empty, self centred religious activities from this world. He wants the gift of obedience expressed in acts of kindness and helpfulness for those less fortunate than we are... the motivation and ability of all spirit filled people.Instead of their conducting empty rituals, God wanted them to show their obedience to Him by: (1) administering true justice, (2) showing mercy and compassion, (3) refusing to oppress widows, orphans, and the poor, and (4) not planning evil against others (Zechariah 7:9-10).
Jokes Of The Day
When a car skidded on wet pavement and struck a telephone pole, several bystanders ran over to help the driver. A woman was the first to reach the victim, but a man rushed in and pushed her aside. "Step aside, lady," he barked. "I've taken a course in first-aid!"The woman watched for a few minutes, then tapped him on the shoulder. "Pardon me," she said. "But when you get to the part about calling a doctor, I'm right here."
************************************
A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street.
"But, officer," the man began, "I can explain"
"Just be quiet," snapped the officer. "I'm going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back."
"But, officer, I just wanted to say"
"And I said to keep quiet! You're going to jail!"
A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, "Lucky for you that the chief's at his daughter's wedding. He'll be in a good mood when he gets back."
"Don't count on it," answered the fellow in the cell. "I'm the groom."

Riddle Of The Day
Tom is standing between Larry and Tony. Peter is standing on Tony's right. Between whom is Tony standing?Answer to Yesterday's Riddle
The circumference of the globe is approximately 40 000 km. If we made a circle of wire around the globe, that is only 10 metres (so 0,01 km) longer than the circumference of earth, could a flea, a rabbit or even a man creep under it?
It is easy to subtract 2 equations (original perimeter = 2xPIxR, length of wire = 2xPIxR + 2xPIx (new R)) and find out that the result is 10m/(2xPI), which is about 1.6 m. So a smaller man can go under it and a bigger man ducks.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Staying True.
And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.1 Kings 8:62. References from 1 Kings 3:4-15.
After reading the first four chapters of Ecclesiastes, some might assume that Solomon didn't have much experience relating to God... he talks about God in somewhat impersonal terms. So it's important that we remind ourselves that God spoke directly to Solomon on a number of occasions.
In tomorrow's verses, Ecclesiastes speaks rather candidly about the proper approach to God, so today we'll try to learn how someone with firsthand access to God could possibly come to the conclusions offered in Ecclesiastes 5.
This is the first account of the Lord appearing to Solomon, this time in a dream (1King 3:5, 15). Solomon had just offered one thousand burnt offerings (offerings for an individual's sin) at Gibeon, the most important of the high places (v4). Even though the method he used was forbidden (see Deut. 12:16), God still blessed Solomon with an offer to give him anything he wanted (v5).
Solomon pleased God with his request for wisdom and discernment to rule the Lord's people (v9, 10), so God granted his request and added even more rewards to Solomon's blessing (v13). But there was one stipulation.
God reminded Solomon to stay on course with His ways (v14). As we've learned in our earlier notes, and as Ecclesiastes seems to indicate, Solomon didn't live up to that command. Even so, Solomon emerged from his dream with a response of zealous commitment to God. He sacrificed even more burnt offerings and fellowship or peace offerings and threw a great feast to celebrate (v15).
These fellowship offerings were a way of showing a desire to draw closer to God, and they could be offerings motivated by thankfulness, or they could come as the result of a vow (Lev. 7:12,16).
In another grand display at the dedication of the temple, Solomon followed up a lengthy, heartfelt prayer (1 Kings 8:23-53) with a fellowship offering of 22,000 cattle and 122,000 sheep and goats (v63). His later decision to worship other gods shows that his heart needed to be more focused. Perhaps the lesson is a lesson in quality over quantity and endurance over extravagance.
Solomons' interaction with God tended to be dramatic, and his responses were splendid. But his commitment to God wavered.
If you've noticed that your own experience with God is less dynamic than you might expect, take heart. It's more important to stay true to His Word than to amplify your emotions.
Take The Prize
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14.
A little child loves to imitate others, especially adults. They will speak the same things they hear adults speak, whether right or wrong. We are the pattern by which they form their own lives.
They do thisby hearing and seeing what we do. So, it is natural that they would want to follow in the footsteps of their father or mother. If father is a strong leader in the family, then the child will make a strong leader. But, if he's weak, or not present to give any influence, then the opportunities will be strongly limited.
Christians are to pattern their lives after their Spiritual Father. He began the work of saving grace, and He will perfect it. We need to put our dependence on him and soar only on HIS strength. If we go after the world with our own strength, then we will 'faint' and fail miserably.

Only through His indwelling Spirit and having our hopes in heavenly promises, shall we go above all our difficulties in life. Only then will we reach the prize of the high calling of God, and 'soar like eagles', with His strength.
