Scripture Of The Day
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.2 Timothy 1:6
Read The Bible In a Year
2 Chronicles 4-6 ; John 10:24-42Thoughts For The Day
Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them
It is easy to be brave from a safe distance.

Personal Story Of The Day
The Safest Way To Go
David had the experience of being in "deep water" surrounded by predators. But as a man after God's own heart (1 Samuel 13:14), he had learned to let the Lord be his protection. What was his secret? David brought his fears to the Lord (Psalm 3:1). He refused to listen to those who said that God would not help him (v2). He even learned to go to sleep (v5), confident that nothing could touch him without the Lord's permission. David found his refuge in God (v8).
Jokes Of The Day
An explosion killed a navy boilerman and he wound up in hell. Being used to stroking fires and extremely hot temperatures, he found hell actually quite comfortable. When satan went to check out the new arrival, he found him sitting in his room smiling. "You like this?", satan asked."Yes, sir", said the sailor, "this feels like a spring day to me."
Not wanting the new guy to be too comfortable, satan turned up the heat a lot. When he went back to see how his new arrival was doing, the sailor was still happy. He hadn't even broken a sweat.
"I like this kind of weather", he told satan. Satan decided to try something different. Rather than turn up the heat, he turned it off. He made the sailor's room form icicles. When he checked on the guy, the room was icy and he was shivering, but he had a grin from ear to ear.
"Why are you so happy?", satan demanded. "It's freezing in here!" "I'm from Queensland," said the sailor. "and this must mean the Broncos have won the NRL final!"

Two doctors and an medical insurance officer died and lined up at the pearly gates for admission to heaven. St. Peter asked them to identify themselves. One doctor stepped forward and said: "I was a pediatric spine surgeon and helped kids overcome their deformities."
St. Peter said, "You can enter."
The second doctor said "I was a psychiatrist. I helped people rehabilitate themselves."
St. Peter also invited him in.
The third applicant stepped forward and said, "I was a medical insurance officer and insured people got the health care they were entitled to."
St. Peter said, "You can come in too." But as the medical insurance officer walked by, St. Peter added, "You can stay three days. After that, you can go to hell."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Making The Right Prayers
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. Psalm 20:7. References from Psalm 20.
In September 2002, a New York art student painted randomly chosen words on about 60 meandering cows to see if they would inadvertently line up to form poetry. At about the same time, in England, a writer did the same thing with sheep (except that she chose the words of only one poem, to see if the sheep could form another poem). An arts council granted her around $3,400 for her project, which she said would break down the boundaries between 'literature and 'quantum mechanics. These bizarre ideas of what constitutes a poem contrast with the linguistic artistry we see in the Psalms.
It's especially apparent in Psalm 20, a public prayer for the king and his army as they headed into battle. The first five verses were probably spoken by the people (or the army) to the king, then the next three by a priest or Levite (or possibly the king himself), with the last verse essentially being the people's closing amen. The people prayed for a series of requests. They asked God to answer the prayers of His anointed king, just as He promised to do. They asked Him to protect, send help, and grant support in the battle to come.
They asked Him to remember and accept the sacrifices and worship offered to Him by His people... an acknowledgment of their covenant relationship. And they prayed that He would give David the desire of his heart and make his plans succeed. This desire was not merely for a battle to be won, but for the name of the Lord to be glorified and exalted among the nations. The reason they wanted the Lord's fame to move into the other nations, meant that they would have much better lives with much better leadership.
Never Ever Forgotten
Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. Isaiah 49:15-16.
I can empathize with the man who said, "I write down everything I want to remember. That way, instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what it is I wrote down, I spend the time looking for the paper I wrote it on." Most of us are able to forget much better than we remember. Yet God assures us that He will never forget us. Not for a second are we ever out of His thoughts.
In fact, Isaiah tells us that we are inscribed on the very palms of His hands... the part of our body we use to reach out and demonstrate our love and concern through the laying on of hands. And the palms are the most tender part of those hands. So it is with compassionate and tender love that God has engraved us on His divine palms. Sometimes in the midst of our troubles it may seem as if God has overlooked us. We pray and God doesn't seem to hear us. We read our Bibles, but the verses all seem lifeless and meaningless. We look for solutions, but God provides no perceived comfort.
Despite your circumstances, remember where your name is engraved. Be assured that God has not forgotten you. The forgetfulness that is so common with humans can never afflict Him. Jesus' chosen sacrifice is a vivid reminder of our infinite value and His unending love. Give God time to accomplish His purpose in your life. Have confidence that your situation is only temporary. Stand firm on God's promise, "Yet will I not forget you." You're in good hands with God and good hands with the faithful saints.
Facts Of The Day
- The primary purpose of growing rice in flooded paddies is to drown the weeds surrounding the young seedlings rice can, in fact, be grown in drained areas.
- * Camels are the only animals with humps. * Got milk? Camels can produce up to 600 liters of milk a year. * Camels can close their nostrils. * Camels eat just about anything. When camels are really hungry and there is no food around, they won't think twice about gobbling up people's tents, sandals, or blankets. Camels as professional boxers? In some countries camels are a source of entertainment. For example, camel fighting attracts audiences of all ages in several countries around the world. * Are camels faster than a speeding bullet? Well not quite. But camels can run just as fast as horses, if not faster. Similar to horse races in the United States, camel races are a popular sport in Morocco.
