Thoughts For The Day

If the English language made any sense, a catastrophe would be an apostrophe with fur.

Inanimate objects are classified scientifically into three major categories - those that don't work, those that break down and those that get lost.

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

Motivation For The Day

Self-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.

Personal Story Of The Day

What Does God Say?

A 10 year old boy wanted to be a pastor when he grew up. One day, when the family's black cat died, he had an opportunity to do some "practice preaching" by conducting a funeral. The boy found a shoe box and put the kitten inside it. When he placed the cover on the box, however, the tail wouldn't fit in. So he cut a hole in the lid so that the long furry tail could stick out. Then he rounded up his friends, preached a short sermon he had carefully prepared, and buried the cat in a shallow grave. 

When the service was over, he noticed that the tip of the pet's tail was still sticking out of the ground. Every 2 or 3 days curiosity would get the better of him, and he would secretly pull up the cat by the tail and then rebury it. Eventually the tail came off, and the body finally remained buried! How many of us do this with our forgiven sins? We confess our sins, but we continue to drag them up and weep over them, even though God considers the ugly things buried once and for all (Jeremiah 31:34; Colossians 2:13-14; 1 John 1:9). As a result, we are not joyful or productive in our Christian life and service. 

Please... leave the "cat" buried! False guilt destroys more Christians than anything else. You are who God says you are, because he knows the power of the Spirit in you... you think of who you are because of the natural mind that is in you... God knows the truth, believe him.

Jokes Of The Day

Married life is full of excitement and frustration:
* In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens.
* In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens.
* In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.

It is true that love is blind but marriage is definitely an eye-opener.

It's true that all men are born free and equal, but some of them get married!

There was this man who muttered a few words in the church and found himself married. A year later he muttered something in his sleep and found himself divorced.

Son: How much does it cost to get married, Dad?
Father: I don't know son, I'm still paying for it.

Son: Is it true? Dad, I heard that in ancient China, a man doesn't know his wife until he marries.
Father: That happens everywhere, son, everywhere!
************************************

During late spring one year, a blonde was trying out her new boat. She was unable to have her boat perform, travel through water, or do any maneuvers whatsoever no matter how hard she tried.

After trying for over three days to make it work properly, she decided to seek help. She putted the boat over to the local marina in hopes that someone there could identify her problem.

Workers determined that everything from the engine to the outdrive was working perfectly on the topside of the boat. So, a puzzled marina employee jumped into the water to check underneath the boat for problems. Because he was laughing so hard, he came up choking on water and gasping for air. Under the boat, still strapped in place securely, was the trailer.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

When Justice Needs To Be Done.

And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 1 John 2:1. References from Job 16:18-17:16.

In law, an advocate is a professional who pleads the cause of another in a court of law. In the Western legal system, this is usually a lawyer. The Bible uses the concept of courtroom imagery frequently, even the final judgment at the end of the age includes such a scene (the books were opened, etc). In the prophets, we often find God bringing charges against His sinful people, but here we find Job acting as his own advocate, pleading his case before the Lord. 

Today's verses contain part of Job's fifth speech. In the opening section (16:1-17), Job expresses his exasperation with his friends. He questions what kind of comforters they really are (16:46). We also find another honest expression of Job's anger with God when he accuses the Lord of turning him over to wicked men (16:11). In the first part of (16:18-17:2), Job implores the earth to avenge his suffering. In the cosmic courtroom, Job recognises that creation bears witness to human actions. More importantly, Job realises that the only one who can defend his case is to be found in heaven. 

The Hebrew word that translates as witness (v19) refers to one who knows the innocence of the accused and who will see that justice is done. There is considerable debate concerning the Hebrew text in verse 20, which could either refer positively to God or negatively to Job's friends. Either way, we see Job's confidence that he would ultimately find justice, if not in this life, then beyond it. Despite the fact that his friends misunderstand him (17:3-12), implicit in Job's words is his understanding that God is the One to whom he must turn. 


Heading Towards Home 

Then she arose with her daughters in law that she might return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab that the Lord had visited His people by giving them bread. Ruth 1:6.

 The soul that comes to the Lord through failure, shame, or pain, will always be lifted up again to His wondrous love and mercy. The famine that God allowed to come upon Israel had brought a great deal of pain. It had been the primary motivation for Elimelech and his family to migrate to Moab. But for those who remained in the land, this tribulation apparently accomplished its purpose. The people repented of their sins and turned to God. For His part, God graciously restored their food supply. 

As the reports of Israel's recovery reached Moab, Naomi's desire was turned back toward her homeland. Although God still had work to do in her heart, this decision was the first step in her restoration to Him. When we have sinned and turned our backs on God, the Lord allows chastening events to come upon us. As our hearts are brought to the breaking point, we sometimes wonder when God will answer. Is it possible for someone (whether us or a person we care about) who has dwelt in a distant land for many years, to come home again? The answer is always yes. 

Even though our sins are like scarlet, they can be washed white as snow (Isa 1:18). Have you wandered away from God? Have you been away too long? Do you fear what His response will be if you return to Him? Take heart. Jesus said, The one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out (John 6:37). Repent, turn from your sins, and turn yourself toward home. These records of other people's troubles are an important part of God's word for us. They teach us God's attitude about such people and how we should also learn from and imitate them in our own lives.
