Only 325 days to the year 2027
Scripture Of The Day
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1.Read The Bible In a Year
Leviticus 8-10; Matthew 25:31-46.Thoughts For The Day
The good news of the Gospel is that there is a resource of divine mercy which is able to overcome a contradiction within our own souls, which we cannot overcome ourselves.The man who hates God is not far from the Kingdom. It is the spiritually indifferent man who has placed himself almost beyond hope.
There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? Look of things that never were, and ask why not.

Personal Story Of The Day
Oh, The Pain Of It All.On the back of a wedding anniversary card were some wiggly lines drawn by a guest's 3 year old grandson. Alongside was a note from the guest explaining what the young lad had written: "I'm writing a letter for your love and happy adversity." The lad's verbal "mistake" has more truth in it than you might imagine, because "happy adversity" embodies the biblical principle of facing difficulties with joy: "count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience." (James 1:2-3).
From our perspective, adversity is anything but happy. We have the idea that the Christian life is supposed to be trouble free, and we see little value in hardship. But God sees it differently. J. B. Phillips' translation of James 1:2-3 reads: "When all kinds of trials and temptations crowd into your lives, my brothers, don't resent them as intruders, but welcome them as friends! Realise that they come to strengthen your faith and to produce in you the quality of endurance."
Affliction does not come as a thief to steal our happiness, but as a friend bringing the gift of staying power. Through it all, God promises us His wisdom and strength. So don't be offended if I wish you "Happy Adversity" today.
Jokes Of The Day
While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his five-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased.The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: "Glory be unto the Faaaather ... and unto the Sonnn ... and into the hole he gooooes."
************************************
A priest, a rabbi, a doctor and a lawyer are gathered at a mutual friend's graveside to mourn his passing.
The priest says to the others, "I think our good friend would have liked to take something with him to his next life." He pulls a $100 bill from his wallet and drops it on the casket.
The rabbi agrees, "That's a fine idea," and drops his own $100 bill on the casket.
The doctor, not to be outdone, does the same.
The lawyer murmurs, "What a wonderful thought," as he gazes down at their friend's casket. Whipping out his pen, he quickly writes a cheque for $400, drops it into the grave and takes the three $100 bills as change.
************************************
A person receives a telegram informing him about his mother-in-law's death. It also enquires whether she should be buried or burnt.
He replies, "Don't take chances. Burn the body and bury the ashes."

Riddle Of The Day
Almost everyone needs it, asks for it, gives it, but almost nobody takes it. What is it?Answer to Yesterday's Riddle
A mansion I am For many, many things. I can live for a very long time. As I grow, I wear more jewellery; However, my jewelery is hidden. Only when I die Do others find How old I've grown And just where my jewellery lies.
A Tree :The rings of trees tell how old a tree is. When a tree is cut down, the number of rings can be seen to tell just how old the tree is. Before it is cut down, you cannot see the number of rings.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
There Is More To Our Story Than Us
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9. References from Galatians 6:6-10.
Although we may lose sight of Jesus return, this fact is never far from Paul's mind. It is this hope that underlies the message of our verses for today.
Paul exhorts us to live always with a view toward pleasing the Spirit because if we do, one day we will reap an eternal harvest. In other words, Paul is calling us to orient our lives around the coming of Jesus and the day when He will reward His people for their faithfulness.
Eternity will commence, and at that point it will matter whether or not we have lived by the power of the sinful nature or by the power of the Spirit (v8). It is sometimes tempting to think that as long as we have our own spiritual houses in order that we are okay as Christians. This individualistic approach to Christianity fails to grasp the importance of how our relationship to God's people is key for living out our faith. Paul has already said the way to please God is faith expressing itself through love (see 5:6).
Here he takes it a step further. As Christians we ought to be prepared to take advantage of opportunities that come along to do good to all people (v10). We need to be looking for those moments and to act upon them when they come along. It takes a bit of discipline and persistence, but that skill does develop and become more effective.
What's Happening Behind The Scenes
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
Looking at the exterior of an individual, we have no idea what they might be going through. We don't know the turmoil that they may be facing, or have gone through, in order to serve God. It may take lots of courage for the person to show love and compassion. Lots of people will go to extremes to keep others from finding out just how they feel inside.
Their face never shows anything but joy and happiness. They don't want any sympathy for things that may be happening to them. So they go out of their way to look happy, showing others love and compassion, while they may be hurting so badly themselves.
This is called 'benevolence'. They are very charitable in their love for the happiness of others. It doesn't matter that they are hurting inside; they still go out of their way to show compassion to others. Alternatively, many hurting people feed on their hurts and pain. They hinder blessings for themselves and others because of their selfishness (spiritual selfishness is a real problem and needs to be overcome).
However, the Bible tells us to 'love one another'. A person who practices love, although hurting, has a blessing coming his/her way! I've seen many smiles on faces of people whom I know have so many problems; yet, you'd never know it, looking from the outside! The love of God shines through their lives, and they light up the lives of others.
