Thoughts For The Day

Ours is a world where people don't know what they want and are willing to go through hell to get it.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

We must accept that this creative pulse within us is God's creative pulse itself.

Motivation For The Day

We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.

Personal Story Of The Day


Spiritual Purposes

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:4. References from Genesis 11:1-9.

The Baltic coast of Russia was not a promising site for a city. The land was marshy. The weather was cold and stormy, and flooding was common. It was in the middle of nowhere. Yet here Peter the Great decided to build an imperial seaport. The energetic czar handled much of the planning himself, sketching buildings and even choosing flowers for the city gardens. 

Hundreds of thousands of conscripted itinerant workers toiled to fill the swamp with dirt and wood... and 25,000 of them died. To populate his new town, the czar ordered reluctant nobles to move there from Moscow. What an unlikely beginning for St. Petersburg, a beautiful city that has inspired countless painters, writers, and musicians, and recently celebrated its 300th birthday. 

Someone like Peter the Great must have decided it would be a good idea to build the Tower of Babel. These people were ambitious and prideful, relying on themselves and failing to acknowledge or worship God. Their main priority was to make a name for themselves. When God said, 'Nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them', He used this statement to highlight the fact that humanity needed humbling (v6). Only divine intervention could check their rebellious pride. 

So He stepped in with a very practical solution... He multiplied their languages and brought an end to their ability to cooperate on the building project. In one moment, He changed Babel, gateway to a god, to Balal (confused). It's worth noting that this event was not a judgment, but actually God's goodness to keep matters from worsening. In heading off this pursuit of evil and thus the need for judgment, God kept His promise to Noah. 

Likewise on the day of Pentecost, God introduced a new method of worship. This time when he changed their language, he gave them a pure and spiritual capacity to communicate with God. He reversed the affliction of differing languages and drew them together by giving them a spiritually pure language that united them all with Him...  now they could be just like God without corrupting themselves.

Jokes Of The Day

The Barbie Dolls

A man was driving home one evening and realized that it was his daughter's birthday and he hadn't bought her a present. He drove to the mall and ran to the toy store and he asked the store manager "How much is that new Barbie in the window?"

The Manager replied, "Which one? We have, 'Barbie goes to the gym' for $19.95 ...

'Barbie goes to the Ball' for $19.95 ...

'Barbie goes shopping for $19.95 ...

'Barbie goes to the beach' for $19.95...

'Barbie goes to the Nightclub' for $19.95 ...

and 'Divorced Barbie' for $375.00."

"Why is the Divorced Barbie $375.00, when all the others are $19.95?" Dad asked surprised.

"Divorced Barbie comes with Ken's car, Ken's House, Ken's boat, Ken's dog, Ken's cat and Ken's furniture."

The psychology instructor had just finished a lecture on mental health and was giving an oral test. Speaking specifically about manic depression, she asked, "How would you diagnose a patient who walks back and forth screaming at the top of his lungs one minute, then sits in a chair weeping uncontrollably the next?"

A young man in the rear raised his hand and answered, "A basketball coach?"
************************************

"I'd like something cheap and nasty for my mother-in-law's birthday." said the customer.

The assistant thought for a moment and then said, "I've got the very thing, sir."

"What's that?"

"My father-in-law."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day


A Place Of Safety

These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. Genesis 6:9.References from Genesis 6:5-7:24.

Another Noah's Ark? That's what an official in the European Space Agency proposed recently. Dr. Bernard Foing said that efforts should be made to create a repository of genetic samples of all plant, animal, and human life. This library of DNA samples would be placed on the moon in case of a natural disaster, nuclear holocaust, or other catastrophic event. You could repopulate Earth afterwards, like a Noah's Ark, he said. 

The original Noah's Ark was a merciful provision from God. Sin had come to dominate the story of humanity: 'The Lord saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time' (6:5). Most people think that since God hates sin, He was happy to dish out punishment, right? Not exactly. The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain (6:5-6). He must judge sin, but He loves us so much that it hurts Him to do so. 

Once again, this story reveals the principles of judgment and mercy. God would punish sin with a Flood that would wipe out all human and animal life, but He would save a remnant. That remnant was Noah and his family. As a righteous man, Noah contrasted strongly with the people of his generation. He walked with God as a friend, and God shared His plans with him, telling him to build a large boat and put on board a selected group of animal species... a kind of ancient DNA library! Noah obeyed in faith (6:22; Heb. 11:7). 

God sent the animals, everyone got on board, and He Himself shut the door. Then it began to rain. What a sobering picture of the extinction of the unsustainable life that humanity had chosen instead of God's ways. One aspect of our purpose as Christians is to live in the relationship that God intended as creator of the whole earth and be spiritually ready for the Second Coming of Christ. Peter said that people who don't accept the truth of Jesus' return are as badly off as those who were sceptical about Noah's warnings about the imminent Flood (2 Peter 3:3-7)!


The Character That Delivers Great Blessing.

By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. Hey 11:8

Before we go any further with our story of Abraham and the promises he was granted by God, it is important that we learn to identify and copy these strengths. Abraham is identified with these characteristics: 
a righteous man, with wholehearted commitment to God; 
a man of faith, not knowing what was coming next, but willing to obey anyway; 
a man of peace (in settling a boundary dispute with his nephew Lot), 
compassionate (he argues and bargains with God to spare the people of Sodom and Gomorrah), 
and hospitable (he welcomes three visiting angels); 
a quick-acting warrior (he rescues Lot and his family from captivity); 
and a man who knew all about fear and weakness to save his own skin (he passes off Sarah as his sister and lets her be picked by the Egyptian pharaoh for his harem). 
He appears as both a man of great spiritual depth and strength and a person with common human weaknesses and needs.

We can clearly identify his strengths, but it is also important for us to identify his weaknesses. Why? because the only reason we will fail in our walk in the Lord, is if we only see his character, but not identify his flaws. His victory was not only having strong internal drive and faith, but also in overcoming the weakness and fear which was also present in the midst of great acts of faith. 

Abraham knew his weaknesses and never pretended that they didn't exist, he simply never gave them any room to hinder or stop the great faith that was possible. Quite often our weakness lies not what we do wrong or fail at, but in the fact that we stop walking in the Lord, fearing our weakness might bring rejection from God... thus giving up. 

That unfounded fear of rejection is the weakness that destroys good character. Knowing your faults and moving forward anyway... delivers great blessing! Paul also repeats this principle... "Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth". Rom 8:33.
