from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship

Scripture Of The Day

O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
Psalms 25:20

Read The Bible In a Year

Numbers 15-16 ; Mark 6:1-29

Thoughts For The Day

We didn't write the plan, we're only expected to follow it without question.

It's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe.

Prosperity is living peacefully and happily in the real world, whether you have money or not.

Motivation For The Day

God sees the victories that lie ahead for you and me. Although we may only see the battles, He sees the victories. He has already won the battles for us. Just as the list of unconquered territories is infinite, so is the list of victories the Lord has for you in your life. Pray for guidance into your unconquered territories. Ask Him to show you the way He would have you go. Then walk with Him into victory.

Personal Story Of The Day

Joy Is In The Mind

Two boys were eating some grapes. One of them remarked, "Aren't they sweet!" "I guess so," the other replied, "but they're full of seeds." Wandering into a garden, the first boy exclaimed, "Look at those big, beautiful red roses!" The other commented, "They're full of thorns!" It was a warm day, so they stopped at the shop for a coke. After several swallows, the second youngster complained, "My bottle's half empty already." The first quickly responded, "Mine's still half full!" 

Many people are like the negative thinking boy highlighted here. They always look at life through dark glasses. Like the children of Israel, they complain and grumble when they should be praising the Lord for His gracious provision. But thank God, not everyone is like that. There are people who concentrate on the bright side and are radiant, happy, and grateful. They are realistic about the not so good side of life, but they don't curse and fret. You can overcome negative thinking. No matter who you are or what your circumstances, there's always much to be grateful for. Think about God's love for you. Praise Him for His full-time care. Then, instead of complaining about thorns, you'll be thankful for the roses.

Jokes Of The Day

A few days after Christmas, my six year son and I were talking. He asked, "Mom, is there a Santa Claus?"

"Well, what do you think?" I asked him.

He replied, "Well, my Playstation that I got and my gift from Santa were wrapped in the same kind of wrapping paper." He thought for a minute and said, "I'll tell you what ... you and Dad can go on buying me presents and let's just forget we ever had this talk!"

Bernie, a young Jewish boy, decided he wanted to be an aeronautical engineer and build airplanes. Over the years he studied hard, went to the best schools, and finally got his degree. It didn't take long before he gained a reputation as the finest aeronautical engineer in all the land, so he decided to start his own company to build jets. His company was such a hit that the President of the United States called Bernie into his office. "Bernie," he said, "the Prime minister of Israel wants to commission your company to build an advanced jet fighter for his country. You have our approval -- go out and design him the best jet fighter ever made."

Needless to say, Bernie was tremendously excited at this prospect. The entire resources of his company went into building the most advanced jet fighter in history. Everything looked terrific on paper, but when they held the first test flight of the new jet, disaster struck. The wings couldn't take the strain -- they broke clean off of the fuselage! Luckily the test pilot parachuted to safety.

Bernie was devastated; his company redesigned the jet fighter, but the same thing happened at the next test flight -- the wings broke off again. Beside himself with worry, Bernie went to pray... to ask God where he had gone wrong.

The rabbi saw Bernie's sadness, and naturally asked him what the matter was. Bernie decided to pour his heart out to the rabbi. After hearing the problem with the jet fighter, the rabbi put his arm on Bernie's shoulder and told him, "Listen, I know how to solve your problem. All you have to do is drill a row of holes directly above and below where the wing meets the fuselage. If you do this, I absolutely guarantee the wings won't fall off."

Bernie just smiled and thanked the rabbi for his advice ... but the more he thought about it, the more he realized he had nothing to lose. Maybe the rabbi had some holy insight. So Bernie did exactly what the rabbi told him to do. On the next design of the jet fighter, they drilled a row of holes directly above and below where the wings met the fuselage. And... it worked!! The next test flight went perfectly!

Brimming with joy, Bernie went to tell the rabbi that his advice had worked. "Naturally," said the rabbi, "I never doubted it would."

"But Rabbi, how did you know that drilling the holes would prevent the wings from falling off?"

"Bernie," the rabbi intoned, "I'm an old man. I've lived for many, many years and I've celebrated Passover many, many times. And in all those years, not once -- NOT ONCE -- has the matzoh broken on the perforation!"

An aged farmer and his wife were leaning against the edge of their pigpen
when the old woman wistfully recalled that the next week would mark their
golden wedding anniversary...
"Let's have a party, Homer," she suggested. "Let's kill a pig."
The farmer scratched his grizzled head. "Gee, Ethel," he finally
answered, "I don't see why the pig should take the blame for something that
happened fifty years ago."

Riddle Of The Day

Romeo and Juliet are found dead on the floor in a bedroom. When they were discovered, there were pieces of glass and some water on the floor. The only furniture in the room is a shelf and a bed. The house in is a remote location, away from everything except for the nearby railway track. What caused the death of Romeo and Juliet?

Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
Because cigars cannot be entirely smoked, a hobo who collects cigar butts can make a cigar to smoke out of every 5 butts that he finds. Today, he has collected 25 cigar butts. How many cigars will he be able to smoke?
6, he makes 5 originals from the 25 butts he found, and after he smokes them he has 5 butts left for another cigar.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

Making Your free time work.

These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations (gatherings), which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. Leviticus 23:4. References from Leviticus 23:4-44. 

Occasions of joy and celebration were important not only to Jesus in the New Testament, but also to God the Father in the Old Testament. We may not associate the Mosaic Law with fun times, but such was indeed the case! There are at least three characteristics in common among the feasts described in today's verses. 

The first is rest... the people were to do no regular work. 

Second was worship... the nation was to hold sacred assemblies and make sacrifices and offerings to the Lord. The sacred assemblies had many purposes. During them, people might sing, pray, confess sin, offer verbal praises and testimonies, hear God's Word read aloud, and receive instruction from the Levites about the meaning of the Scripture they heard. Jesus similarly connected worship, truth, and joy or pleasure. 

The third characteristic is celebration... on these occasions, the people rejoiced and gave thanks for the goodness and blessing of God in their lives. This was true both in an immediate sense, as in the Feast of First fruits and the Feast of Harvest (Weeks), and in a historical sense, as in the Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles. 

Perhaps our mental picture is serious-faced worshipers making burnt offerings to atone for sin. A more complete biblical picture must include the idea of joyful celebration, similar perhaps to special family gatherings. These celebrations were focused and purposeful. God actually commanded His people to have a good time! They were not practicing self-indulgence or grabbing worldly pleasures by taking these opportunities to celebrate. Instead, their feasting provides an example of Godly pleasure pursued in Godly ways.


Good Or Bad Example? 

Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they maysee your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 

Each time we go to church, we hear the Gospel of Christ. We are humbled  and motivated at the message, and endeavour to shine as the lights of Christ. Monday morning finds us perhaps going to work, and suddenly a person cuts us off nearly causing a crash. What do we do? Are we shining our light... asking the Lord to take care of them on their journey, or do we quickly drown them with our cursing? 

Then we get to the office and things aren't any better. Someone does something or says something that we find insulting, and what do we do? Do we open our mouth without thinking and trade insult for insult? Or do we take a moment to ask God to give us the words to speak, so that we won't offend? How do we come across to our family? Do our children see the light of Christ within us, so that they are patterning their life after a Godly manner? Or do they see us doing things and saying things that God doesn't approve of, yet we ask them to do better in their actions and in their words? 

Let us examine ourselves this morning... our demeanour, our attitude, our feelings... and see if we are clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Do we express this in our conversations? Do we act in love, each time we are faced with something with which we don't agree? Do we feel we are the servant of God, given the opportunity to share the Gospel with others? Or do we put ourselves upon a pedestal, far above the 'lowly sinner', and feel we are too good to associate ourselves with them? Remember, if it were not for God sending His Son, Jesus, to save the world, then we would be but a 'lowly sinner' ourselves, and God's love would not be within our hearts and souls.
