Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.Psalms 5:2
Read The Bible In a Year
Jeremiah 46-47 ; Hebrews 6Thoughts For The Day
What the work of Christ requires is not our admiration or even gratitude, not our impressions or our thrills, but ourselves and our humility.The greater the conceit the smaller the mind.
Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.

Personal Story Of The Day
Repairing The BrokenI read about a machine repairman who had an unusual knack for correctly diagnosing where the trouble was in faulty factory equipment. And he could fix it quickly.
His co-workers noticed that he normally left the lunchroom 10 minutes early. One day someone followed him to see what he did before the others started working again. The repairman didn't touch a spanner or screwdriver. Instead, while everyone else was gone and there was no sound of conversation, he stood in the middle of the large room, closed his eyes, and listened to the machinery.
His ear caught every subtle sound, every click, every change in pitch or vibration. He could identify the first signs of a problem before it became apparent to others. It's as if he knew each machine personally.
God knows us personally and intimately. He monitors our thoughts and feelings all the time. As King David declared, we can be sure that when we cry out to Him, He hears us ('In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears'. Psalm 18:6). He hears the shouts and the groans of our hearts. He knows when we are "broken" or "out of tune." And when we call on Him, He knows exactly what we need. He is an excellent listener.
Facing a problem today? Call out to the Lord. You can be sure that He will hear you.

Jokes Of The Day
A Mexican bandit made a specialty of crossing the Rio Grande from time to time and robbing banks in Texas. Finally, a reward was offered for his capture, and an enterprising Texas ranger decided to track him down.After a lengthy search, he traced the bandit to his favorite cantina, snuck up behind him, put his trusty six-shooter to the bandit's head, and said, "You're under arrest. Tell me where you hid the loot or I'll blow your brains out!"
But the bandit didn't speak English, and the Ranger didn't speak Spanish. Fortunately, a bilingual lawyer was in the saloon and translated the Ranger's message. The terrified bandit blurted out, in Spanish, that the loot was buried under the oak tree in back of the cantina.
"What did he say?" asked the Ranger.
The lawyer answered, "He said 'Get lost, Gringo. You wouldn't dare shoot me.'"

"I have good news and bad news," a defense attorney told his client.
"First the bad news. The blood test came back, and your DNA is an exact match with that found at the crime scene."
"Oh, no!" cried the client. "What's the good news?"
"Your cholesterol is only 3.5."
************************************
Sometimes women are overly suspicious of their husbands.
When Adam stayed out very late for a few nights, Eve became upset.
"You're running around with other women," she charged.
"You're being unreasonable," Adam responded. "You're the only woman on earth."
The quarrel continued until Adam fell asleep, only to be awakened by someone
poking him in the chest.
It was Eve. "What do you think you're doing?" Adam demanded.
"Counting your ribs," said Eve.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Never AloneWhen the regime of a repressive dictator was overthrown in 1979, most citizens of Uganda felt a great sense of relief. Even in the midst of disarray and destruction, the people celebrated when the government changed hands. The comment of one happy citizen, though, expresses how many Christians respond to adversity. He said, "I stopped going to church because I thought God had forgotten us. Now I can go again."
An opinion like that isn't new. Through the years, many of God's children have made the mistake of thinking the Lord had abandoned them when times got bad. Job cried out, "Oh, that I knew where I might find Him!" (Job 23:3). We too can so quickly fall into that pattern of thinking. Somehow we feel that God and good times always go hand in hand. And someday they will in heaven. But now it's so different.
Trouble periodically rolls in like a heavy fog, and we must take by faith the fact that God is very much with us, even though we may not sense His presence.
God always sees us. Nothing gets by Him or escapes His notice. He always knows and cares. The question is whether we will continue to be as trusting as He is faithful. Will we be good and godly even when times are bad? We should, because once filled with the Holy Spirit, he now dwells within us. The only real battle is whether we are up to the task of walking in the spirit.
The word (gift) of Wisdom
For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:8
Wisdom is a precious gift. In Proverbs it says that we should cry out for wisdom for when we find it, it will be pleasant and reward us with great blessing. Some people have a lot of knowledge but little wisdom. Wisdom is the ability to do something in the best possible way. Knowledge puts facts together and uses information in the right way.

Some people have a lot of knowledge but little wisdom. Wisdom is the ability to do something in the best possible way. Knowledge puts facts together and uses information in the right way.
Wisdom is to do the right thing with the right people at the right place and at the right time. Knowledge gives facts and a proper perspective concerning the existing situation, usually based on how it has been before, while wisdom looks ahead.
Wisdom is given the same as the gift of knowledge, it does not provide all wisdom but only a necessary fragment for a particular situation. It is a supernatural wisdom, often simple, but something we never would have come up with ourselves. James says wisdom is pure, peaceful, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and without partiality or hypocrisy.'Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning'. (James 1:17). (Knowledge and wisdom can accumulate, but human variableness often requires us to go back to basics on a regular basis, to refresh us in the truth).
Wisdom is filled with good fruits and creates peace. No wonder the Bible says we should be wise, not foolish. If we lack wisdom, we can ask God for it. He gives it willingly! 'If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him'. (James 1:5).
