God will be hard at work today... he may need your help...


Only 120 days to the year 2027

Scripture Of The Day

Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
Ecclesiastes 5:2

Read The Bible In a Year

Psalms 140-142 ; 1 Corinthians 14:1-20

Thoughts For The Day

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.

If your life is ever going to get better, you'll have to take risks. There is simply no way you can grow without taking chances.

The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.

Motivation For The Day

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall."

Personal Story Of The Day

When Reality Doesn't Matter.

The children of Israel had an amazing opportunity in the desert. Because of their rebellion they ultimately would be in the wilderness for 40 years. However, at this point consider what was happening to them. God had delivered them from Egypt and was leading them in an unmistakable way. Moses had received the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20), and Israel saw the glory of the Lord on top of the mountain. It looked like a consuming fire. 

In chapter 24 the people responded to Moses' instruction by saying, "Everything the Lord has said we will do". The next day, after offering sacrifices and reading the Book of the Covenant, the people again responded, "We will do everything the Lord has said; we will obey". 
Unfortunately, they were in it only for the short haul. 

Before 40 days had passed, they were worshiping a golden calf that was described as the gods who had brought Israel up out of Egypt. Commitments are easier made than kept. We are already 45 days into this year. How are you going with your commitments? Don't be like some of those in the wilderness, stay in it for the long haul.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day


The Truth Is Unpopular

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17:17. References from Mark 12:28-44.

According to public opinion polls, car salesmen, television and radio and TV personalities, and politicians, all rank in the top ten least trusted professions. Certainly not everyone in these professions is dishonest... but the nature of the job means that it is very tempting not to tell the truth. In fact, being honest might cost you a sale, a sponsor, a viewer, or a vote. Those who tell the truth in any profession or area of life may face negative consequences. 

That was especially true in Jesus' life and ministry. The religious leaders of Christ's day frequently did not appreciate what He had to say about their attitudes and practices. Mark 11:27-12:44, describes a series of confrontations between Jesus and the religious authorities of His day. The chief priests, the teachers of the law, elders, Pharisees, Sadducees, and Herodians are all mentioned. In other words, Jesus found Himself in conflict with every major religious group of His time. 

Many of these groups, like the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Herodians... exercised political as well as religious influence. This did not deter Jesus from speaking out against them. He was determined to speak the truth no matter what the consequences. 

The Pharisees were religious legalists who emphasized scrupulous adherence to the traditions of the rabbis and were widely admired by the populace. The Sadducees who were smaller in number and did not enjoy such popular support, but they had more political influence than the Pharisees. The Sadducees differed theologically from the Pharisees and rejected both the doctrine of the resurrection from the dead and the oral tradition of the rabbis. They only accepted the Law of Moses as Scripture. 

The Herodians supported the kingly dynasty of Herod. Although neither a religious group nor a political party, they were keenly interested in the political implications of Jesus' teaching.


Without Partiality

Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart. Job 37:23-24.

Gandhi says in his autobiography that in his student days he was truly interested in the Bible. Deeply touched by reading the Gospels, he seriously considered becoming a convert, since Christianity seemed to offer the real solution to the caste system that was dividing the people of India. One Sunday he went to a nearby church. He decided to see the minister and ask for instruction in the way of salvation and enlightenment on other doctrines. 

However, when he entered the sanctuary, the ushers refused to give him a seat and suggested that he go worship with his own people. Gandhi left and never came back. If Christians have caste differences also, he said to himself, I might as well remain a Hindu. The partiality showed by those 'Christians' had a devastating effect on India and the world. 

Elihu implied that Job may have set himself apart as something special because of his wealth, perhaps even thinking he could buy his way out of affliction (Job 36:18-19). While this was not a correct assessment of Job 's character, Elihu made a valid point: God shows no partiality. God doesn't care about a person's wealth, social status or skin colour, but only about his heart. God accepts all those who are "wise in heart."

Christians have fallen into the trap of partiality almost from the beginning. James warned his readers about showing favouritism to the wealthy (James 2:14). Other Christians have shown partiality based on language, nationality or ethnicity. None of these things, however, are important to God. He looks beneath such surface issues and considers what a person is on the inside. 

If you find yourself hung up on a person's economic status or nationality, ask God to help you see past these superficial matters. Seek to know others as God does... by their heart.
