Scripture Of The Day
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.Matthew 6:21
Read The Bible In a Year
Job 3-4 ; Acts 7:44-60Thoughts For The Day
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to explain.Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent.
For every 60 seconds of anger, you lose one minute of happiness.
Motivation For The Day
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.On This Day

Personal Story Of The Day
The Last Shall Be Made First
The apostle Paul gave us a broader view of such perfect little infants when he wrote, 'Through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin... Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam' (Romans 5:12-14). In other words, every child is born with a tendency to sin.
However, that's not Paul's final word. He also wrote about Jesus, the last Adam, who became a life-giving spirit (1Corinthians 15:45). Long after man's first sin, a baby was born who was God's mind in the flesh (John 1:14). God made Christ, who knew no sin to be sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21).
When we follow the words of Christ, we receive the Holy Spirit, which creates within us a new desire to do what is pleasing to God. The flesh still has its pull, but the pull of the Spirit is stronger and more powerful. In the first Adam we're all sinners, but let's concentrate on who we have become in the last Adam.
Jokes Of The Day
Two women ran into the court of King Solomon, fighting."My daughter was to marry a man, but this woman claims that the man was to
marry HER daughter!" one of them yelled.
"There is a simple solution," said the King. "I shall cut the man in two and
each of your daughters can have a piece."
"Fine by me!" said the first woman.
"No, don't, I would rather let the other girl marry him than that!" cried
the second.
The King didn't hesitate for a minute. "Fine." he said. "The first woman my
have him."
"What?" protested the other? "She wanted him cut in two!"
"Indeed." said the king. "She shows the true spirit of a mother-in-law!"
************************************
One Sunday, a pastor told his congregation that the church needed some extra
money. He asked the people to consider donating a little more than usual
into the offering plate. He said that whoever gave the most would be able to
pick out three hymns. After the offering plates were passed, the pastor
glanced down and noticed that someone had placed a $1,000 bill in the
offering.
He was so excited that he immediately shared his joy with his congregation
and said he'd like to personally thank the person who placed the money in
the plate. A very quiet, elderly, saintly looking lady all the way in the
back shyly raised her hand. The pastor asked her to come to the front.
Slowly she made her way to the pastor. He told her how wonderful it was that
she gave so much and in thanks asked her to pick out three hymns.
Her eyes brightened as she looked over the congregation, pointed to the
three most handsome men in the building and said, "I'll take him and him and
him."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Care For All
And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Isaiah 60:3. References from Ruth 2:1-13; 4:1-21.
The New Testament teaches us that being Spirit filled, we have been adopted as God's children (Eph. 1:5). Similarly, the story of Ruth is like an adoption, because we see a foreign woman becoming part of the people of God. In fact, the Old Testament has many similar examples, such as the Egyptians who left during the Exodus, Jethro, and Rahab. Remember that Ruth married into a Jewish family who had moved to Moab during a famine. Eventually Ruth returned to Bethlehem with her mother in law, Naomi. As it turned out, this Moabitess demonstrated more clearly than some Israelites what it meant to love God with all one's heart and to love one's neighbour as oneself (Deut 6:5).
In Ruth 2, we find Ruth gleaning (taking some of the leftovers) in the fields. We read earlier that God had ordained a small percentage of all fruit and grain would be left for the benefit of the poor. More important, Ruth is in a field that belongs to Boaz, who is Naomi's relative. Boaz's godly character is evident from the way he greets his workers (2:4), and is further revealed in his kindness toward Ruth.
Recognizing the vulnerability of a foreign woman, Boaz gives Ruth both protection and provision. Behind Boaz's actions, we clearly see the hand of God. As we jump forward in the story, we find out that Ruth was essential to God's plans. The son born to Ruth and Boaz would become the grandfather of David. So without Ruth, there would not have been David. And God promised to David an everlasting family, which eventually led to Jesus Christ (see Matt. 1:5-6). Thus, the story of God's care for one foreign woman, Ruth; we see His encompassing care for the nation Israel, and eventually, all the nations of the earth.
Seeking Leadership
Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: Exodus 18:21.
Jethro, Moses' father in law, recognized that leaders need to find and trust men of good character. He knew that his plan to relieve some of the stress in his son in law's life depended on the character of the men who were chosen to do it. That's why he urged Moses to choose men who were not only competent, but who also had a healthy fear of God, who spoke the truth and avoided greed.
Unfortunately, this fundamental principle of public service is often not carefully observed. In both church and government, people have been put into positions of leadership based on their abilities with little regard for their character. In fact, one poll found that 67 percent of voters think a political leader can have "substantial flaws in personal character" but still govern effectively. Such a position is contrary to Scripture, experience, and common sense. When we face the responsibility of choosing officers in our church, we give careful consideration to their character.
People of good character who possess no skills in leadership usually do not make good leaders. But, people with leadership skills and little character make even worse leaders. They lead us wherever their character permits, and that is usually not very affective in the Lord. No matter how good the intentions, we can only choose from those in our midst... pray to be used and stay focused on God's word... then we will have more to choose from.
