Personal Story Of The Day
Pray For What God Wants.Under General George Patton's command in World War II, the Third Army had been driving back the Nazis until fog and rain forced the troops to stop. Patton telephoned a chaplain to ask, "Do you have a good prayer for weather? "Immediately the chaplain complied with the general's request.
He wrote a prayer, which Patton ordered to be printed and distributed to the 250,000 soldiers under his command, directing them to pray for clear weather.
There were many occasions during WW2 that God answered national prayer and personal prayer... he also provided blessing and victory outside of the allies' good intentions and prayers. God's interests in the affairs of men go far beyond the church... God would that all men pray... he has answers. Imagine how much more interesting our prayers are to God.
The Scriptures teach us that God wants us to bring our requests to Him, and we can be confident that He cares and will answer (Philippians 4:6; 1 John 5:14-15). We are encouraged to pray and be confident that he will answer, but He is never obligated to answer in the way we want, or just because many people are praying.
When the Son of God was agonising in Gethsemane, He made His request in humble submission to His Father by saying, "Your will be done" (Matthew 26:42). Jesus's Gethsemane prayer should be a guide to all our prayers. The Father's will is always infused with infinite love and wisdom. So instead of trying to pressure God because we think He's obligated to us, we as trustful children gladly commit to Him our desires.
Whatever He grants will prove in the end to be the best of blessings for us.
Jokes Of The Day
The doctor had just been buried. The last words of the service over, his friends and family started toward their cars. However, they stopped because a strange, eerie sound suddenly was heard from the grave. As the guests looked around, a colleague of the deceased said, "It's nothing... just his beeper."************************************
Rick, fresh out of accounting school, went to a interview for a good paying job. The company boss asked various questions about him and his education, but then asked him, "What is three times seven?"
"22," Rick replied. After he left, he double-checked it on his calculator (he *knew* he should have taken it to the interview!) and realized he wouldn't get the job.
About two weeks later, he got a letter that said he was hired for the job! He was not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, but was still very curious. The next day, he went in and asked why he got the job, even though he got such a simple question wrong. The boss shrugged and said, "Well, you were the closest."
************************************
There was once a wife so jealous that when her husband came home one night and she couldn't find hairs on his jackets she yelled at him, "Great, so now you're cheating on me with a bald woman!"
The next night, when she didn't smell any perfume, she yelled again by saying, "She's not only bald, but she's too cheap to buy any perfume!

He could not leave the fox alone with the goose or the goose alone with the corn. How did he get them all safely over the stream?Answer to Yesterday's Riddle

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
We Are All Now One
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. Galatians 6:15. References from Galatians 6:11-18.
In 1945, Marshall Tito made himself leader of the new country Yugoslavia by patching together regions with different religions and ethnicities. For the next 45 years, communism suppressed the national identities of Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Macedonia. But after Tito's death, the country could no longer hold together. Nationalist and ethnic tensions erupted; today the name Yugoslavia, if used at all, refers only to Serbia and Montenegro.
It is difficult to create and sustain a country. That makes the work of Jesus even more amazing, for He has united a new people that will last for eternity. Throughout this letter Paul has argued that wise living in light of the gospel means that Gentile Christians and Jewish Christians are equal before God, apart from their relationship to the Jewish Law. Jesus died and rose again to rescue all those who believe in Him from this evil age.
By the anointing of the Spirit, the universal problem of sin has been effectively dealt with and the promises given to Abraham have come to fruition. Therefore, all those who possess the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues are Abraham's children and are equal members of his family.
In verses 14 and 15 Paul nicely summarises all of this in two points. First, he says that those who belong to Christ have been crucified with Christ and therefore have died to the world (v14, see also 2:20 and 5:25). Christians have, through Jesus' death, died to the powers of this evil age. Neither the sinful nature nor the Jewish Law hold authority over the believer.
Second, he notes that just as Jesus was not left in the grave, neither have those of us who have believed in Jesus been simply left for dead in relation to the world. Through the Spirit, the power of Jesus' resurrection revitalises us. We die to the world in order that we might become a new creation (v15), through the power of the Spirit.
Where Are You Going?
I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me. Psalm 119:30.
When you decide to take a long trip, you sit down and plan your journey. You decide which roads you'll take in order to arrive at your destination. Without planning, you leave yourself open to failure and lots of unnecessary frustration! Just as with your destination in life, you also determine your destination in the Spirit. God has done all He is going to do.
He sent His Son to die for our sins on the cross. We are the heirs to the promises, but the promises are ours by our own choice.
We actually have to use them and plan their application. There is also a condition to our receiving His promises. We must repent and be baptised in water... we need to receive the anointing of the Spirit (Acts 2:38+). We must be obedient to the Word.
We can't do our own thing and expect to reap the blessings of God. We can't live a life of wilful sin, never truly addressing repentance and forgiveness, and expect to reign with Him in heaven. There has to be a change in our way of life, in our thinking.
We must go from running our own life, to letting God direct our steps. By putting our faith fully in Him, only then can we truly be what God wants us to be. Only then can one know the full relationship with the Father that He has prepared for us. Only then can we know His will, and then truly know our destination!!
