Personal Story Of The Day
We Are The Calm, Before The StormWe were in a small boat on the far side of the lake and the fish were biting when we heard a rumble of thunder in the distance. Looking up, we saw a mass of dark clouds in the west. I ignored the suggestion of my fishing partner that it might be wise to start back to the camp... I wanted to keep fishing.
Then it happened! The storm was suddenly upon us. We tried to start the motor but it wouldn't go! My friend tried to paddle, but the rain came in sheets and the waves tossed our little aluminium boat. We survived, but I learned a lesson. Don't delay when a storm is brewing.
Another type of storm is coming... a day of judgment. It may seem far off, and you don't feel you have to hurry to prepare. You may be in good health and in the prime of life. But listen, the storm may come upon you unexpectedly. Proverbs 1 says that disaster will strike the person who foolishly ignores all warnings (v27). And the author of Hebrews warned, "It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment" (9:27).
To heed God's warnings is true wisdom. Have you sought shelter in the power of the Holy Spirit? Have you realised that you are a servant of God, not one to be served by others? If you haven't, it's time to stop "fishing for worldly increase" and seek safety for those who God has called you to serve and yourself before it's too late.
Jokes Of The Day
The CEO of Inghams manages to arrange a meeting with the Pope at theVatican.
After receiving the papal blessing, he whispers, "Your eminence, we have an
offer for you. Inghams is prepared to donate $100 million dollars to the
church if you change the Lord's Prayer from 'give us this day our
daily bread' to, 'give us this day our daily chicken.'
The Pope responds, "That is impossible. The Prayer is the word of the Lord
it must not be changed."
"Well," says the Inghams man, "we anticipated your reluctance.
For this reason, we will increase our offer to $300 million dollars. All we
require is that you change the Lord's Prayer from 'give us this day our
daily bread 'to 'give us this day our daily chicken.'
Again, the Pope replies, "That, my son, is impossible. For the prayer is
the word of the Lord and it must not be changed."
Finally, the Inghams guy says, "Your Holiness, we at Inghams respect your
adherence to your faith, but we do have one final offer. We will donate $500
million dollars - that's half a billion dollars - to
the great Catholic church if you would only change the Lord's Prayer from
'give us this day our daily bread' to 'give us this day our daily chicken.'
Please consider it."
And he leaves.
The next day the Pope convenes the College of Cardinals. "There is some good
news," he announces, "and some bad news." "The good news is that the Church
will come into $500 million dollars."
"And the bad news, your Eminence?" asks a Cardinal.
"We're losing the Tip Top Account."

From the Cat's diary :
Day 2,483 of my captivity... My captors continued to taunt me with bizarre
little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am
forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of
escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from clawing the furniture.
Tomorrow I may eat another house plant.
Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they
were walking almost succeeded - must try this at the top of the stairs. In
an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again
induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair - must try this on their
bed
Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in an attempt to
make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear in their
hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I
was. Hmmm, not working according to plan.
There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was in solitary
throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food.
More important, I overheard that my confinement was due to my powers of
inducing "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my
advantage.
I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog
is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously
a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant and
speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to
his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured.
But I can wait; it is only a matter of time...
************************************
A man goes to the doctor and tells him that he hasn't been feeling well.
The doctor examines him, leaves the room and comes back with three different bottles of pills.
The doctor says, "Take the green pill with a big glass of water when you get up. Take the blue pill with a big glass of water after lunch. Then just before going to bed, take the red pill with another big glass of water."
Startled to be put on so much medicine the man stammers, "Jeez doc, exactly what's my problem?"
Doctor says, "You're not drinking enough water."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Godly Purposes
Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat! Job 23:3. References from Job 23:1-24:12.
The story of Martin Luther is one of the most inspiring in history. After nearly being struck by lightning, Luther entered a monastery in1508, hoping to find a deeper relationship with God. But over the next few years, despite all Luther's efforts, he felt that God was not only distant, but that His wrath burned against Luther.
Unable to meet the demands of the Mosaic law, Luther finally came to the realisation that salvation was possible only through faith in Jesus Christ. I don't know whether Martin Luther ever received the Spirit... but he certainly knew that religious and emotional approaches were futile.
In today's verses, we find a similar yearning for God. Job laments that he can't find God, and his complaint remains bitter (23:2). Despite all the words that have passed between Job and his friends, Job has not given up his conviction that his only hope is to be heard before God. Although Job has said some harsh things about God and although he now believes that God is difficult to find,
Job retains his steadfast belief that a righteous man can ultimately find justice with God (v67). More importantly, Job recognises that God knows the truth about his life (v10), and that He is purifying Job by using this trial.
Here, Job articulates one possible divine purpose that comes from suffering, namely, the testing of our faith and our sanctification. Still, Job is unafraid to admit that in the meantime, God seems to have His hand against Job, which makes him faint of heart (v16). Job implies that if God can be found, it must be a gift.
And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted Ruth 1:20-21.
A growing problem in the Western world is "road rage." 2020 report In USA... 53% of drivers think speeding is normal, One third of collisions are caused by road rage, 50% of drivers get aggressive with road ragers, 2% of drivers get revenge, 37% of road rage incidents involve firearms, 66% of traffic fatalities are caused by aggressive drivers, Road rage leads to 30 murders a year. This is a terrible price to pay for foolishly venting one's anger. Yet it's far more foolish when we become angry at God.
When Naomi returned to her homeland, it was obvious she was angry with God for the losses in her life. When her friends called her Naomi (which means "sweetness" or "pleasantness"), she instructed them instead to call her Mara (which means "bitterness"), because "the Almighty has afflicted me." She lamented that she left Bethlehem with a husband and two sons, but returned "empty."
She was angry at God because of what He had allowed. In God's plan, however, Naomi was actually at the beginning of the most fulfilling time of her life. Soon Ruth would meet and marry Boaz and bear his child.
That baby, Obed, would become the grandfather to Israel's greatest king, David, who would establish the lineage of the Messiah, Jesus. What God had allowed to be taken away from Naomi would be replaced with blessings beyond her wildest imagination (this is very similar to what happened to Job as well).
When you experience the grief of losing a loved one... a husband, a wife, a child... it's easy to become bitter and lash out at God. You think it's all His fault. He allowed it to happen.
Yet the God who loves you is also the God who sees the end from the beginning. He knows what He is doing. Trust Him. What has begun as a heartache for you will ultimately result in overwhelming blessings if you don't wreck it for yourself.
