Personal Story Of The Day
It's Always Your ChoiceI didn't see the movie 'The Exorcist', but I do recall its impact in the media and amongst religious friends. It left a lasting impression on many people about Satan's power. Even many Christians began to live in fear, swayed by the vivid images of evil. It seemed as if the devil was almost as powerful as God.
Is this perspective biblically sound? Of course not. God is the Creator, and all others, including the devil, are just created beings. Only God is almighty.
It's easy to blame the devil when things go wrong. Although he does promote wickedness and sin, we must be careful not to conclude that we are powerless against him. We are told in the Bible that the Holy Spirit within us "is greater than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4). The Bible also says we have a role to play in overcoming evil and doing what is good.
We are to "flee sexual immorality" (1Corinthians 6:18-20),
"flee from idolatry" (10:14),
"flee" from the love of money (1Timothy 6:10-11),
and "flee also youthful lusts" (2Timothy 2:22).
James said that our attitude toward the devil should be to "resist" him (James 4:7). How do we do this? By submitting ourselves to God, allowing Him to direct our lives. Then it will be the devil who will flee from us because we out rank him and God listens to us and not him.
Jokes Of The Day
After shopping for most of the day, a couple returns to find their car has been stolen. They go to the police station to make a full report. Then, a detective drives them back to the parking lot to see if any evidence can be found at the scene of the crime. To their amazement, the car has been returned.There is an envelope on the windshield with a note of apology and two tickets to a music concert. The note reads, "I apologize for taking your car, but my wife was having a baby and I had to hot-wire your ignition to rush her to the hospital. Please forgive the inconvenience. Here are two tickets for tonight's concert of Garth Brooks, the country-and-western music star."
Their faith in humanity restored, the couple attend the concert and return home late. They find their house has been robbed. Valuable goods have been taken from thoughout the house, from basement to attic. And, there is a note on the door reading, "Well, you still have your car. I have to put my newly born kid through college somehow, don't I?"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
A Few More Failings Revealed
In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. Proverbs 10:19 References from Job 15:1-35.
The January 1997 issue of Money magazine published the results of a survey in which people were asked whether the Panama Canal or the Suez Canal was longer, and how sure they were of their answer. Among those who were 60 percent certain, half got the answer right. But among those who were 90 percent sure, less got the answer right.
In this group, although people had a greater degree of confidence in their answer, fewer were actually correct.
This survey results could have helped Eliphaz, whose speech begins round two of the debates between Job and his friends. Eliphaz was probably 100 percent certain of his response to Job, but he was actually mistaken on some key points. You may remember from Eliphaz's first speech that the essence of religion was that people got what they deserved: suffering comes to sinners, and rewards come to the righteous.
Eliphaz's second speech continues this theme. Even if Job were blameless at the outset of his suffering, his recent outbursts surely made him worthy of judgment now.
Eliphaz has no way of reconciling Job's empty notions and hot east wind with the conduct of a wiseman. Eliphaz believes that Job is dangerous because his questions seem to undermine the foundations of religion, as Eliphaz understands it. That's Eliphaz's point in verses 7-16. He charges Job with presuming to be wiser than the ancients or with claiming to have some special wisdom.
In verse 14, Eliphaz attacks Job's claim that his suffering is not the result of sin. In essence, he says, No one is righteous. We can readily agree with this statement, but we must reject Eliphaz's simple equation that all suffering is the result of sin. As Eliphaz continues (v17-35), he notes that the ancients made clear the fate of the wicked.
His speech may include specific references to Job's situation, such as the loss of riches (v29) and vitality (v33). In general, however, his views represent the retribution theology common in the ancient world, and those views are still found in some circles today. Sadly, they often underlie spirit-filled people who misunderstand God's way in the church and its people.
You Are Never Alone
And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons... And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband. Ruth 1:3,5.
A man took his elderly mother out to the cemetery to visit graves for Remembrance Day. After placing a bouquet of flowers on her husband's grave, she wandered among the other gravestones noting the dates and ages of other family members who had died. Finally she stopped, looked her son in the eye and with a wistful smile asked, "What have I done to deserve all this overtime?"
Perhaps Naomi felt the same way. She had left Israel with a husband and two sons; now only she was left alone, and yet not alone.
God had brought into her life two compassionate daughters in law, one of whom would follow her all the way back to Israel. Even though Naomi intensely felt the loss of her loved ones, God had not deserted her. He provided, even in a foreign land, those who would love and care for a despairing widow. God never really leaves us alone. When we lose those whom we expect to love and support us, He always provides another way for this need to be met.
While you may experience the pain of separation, you never need to feel totally abandoned.
Sometimes God grants you an unmistakable sense of peace and comfort. Other times He uses people around you to be the instruments of His love and comfort. In either case, His compassion never fails and His presence never falters. Let God fill your life with His presence in whatever way He chooses, rejoicing that He never forgets nor forsakes.
Be assured that even though there may be an empty place in your home, there can be a fullness in your heart.
