Personal Story Of The Day
True Treasure.
Exodus 12:36 says that the Israelites "spoiled (plundered) the Egyptians." It wasn't long, however, until God's people fell into idolatry. They used their gold to make a golden calf, which they worshiped while Moses was on Mount Sinai receiving the law (32:1-4). This tragic experience highlights the separation that Christians are required to maintain in relation to their possessions.
There is much in our society that we may enjoy, but material things, or the time taken to accrue them, can also pose grave dangers when we use them unwisely. We are "free to utilise" but "forbidden to idolise." We are "strangers and pilgrims on the earth" (Hebrews 11:13), and we must not become so attached with "the treasures in Egypt" (v26) that we grow complacent and forget our true calling.
Are we using our material blessings to serve the Lord, or have we become slaves to them? God has given us spiritual treasures that bring far greater joy and contentment than our collection of assets. They never suffer from ageing or deterioration, but they do need regular attention to keep them in our safe possession.
Jokes Of The Day
An Ford pulled alongside a Holden at the traffic lights. "Do you have a car phone?" its driver asked the man in the Holden."Of course I do," was the haughty reply.
"Do you have a high speed modem?"
The Holden driver sighed. "I have that too."
"Do you have a wide screen Tv in the back?" the Ford driver wanted to know. Ashen-faced, the Holden driver sped off.
That afternoon, he had a mechanic install a wide screen Tv in his car.
A week later, the Holden driver passed the same Ford, parked on the side of the road with its windows fogged up and steam pouring out. The arrogant driver pulled over, got out of the Holden and banged on the Ford's rear window. "I want you to know that I've had a huge Tv installed," bragged the Holden driver.
The Ford driver rolled his window down and frowned at the Holden driver. "You got me out of the shower to tell me that?"

A picky customer comes to a small food shop and sees a new delivery of fresh fruit. "Give me two kilograms of oranges and wrap every orange up in a separate piece of paper, please," he says to the saleswoman. She does.
"And three kilograms of cherries, please, and wrap up every one in a separate piece of paper, too." She does.
"And what is that there," he asks pointing out a bushel basket in the corner.
"Raisins," says the saleswoman, "but they are not for sale!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Dazzling Appearing
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. - Mark 13:26. References from the Song of Solomon 5:8-16.
One of the highlights of any wedding is the moment when the bride first appears. The music swells, the congregation rises, and the groom looks down the aisle to see the one he loves dressed in a dazzling white gown. However, in the above verse, it is the groom who is described as dazzling white, a Hebrew word that literally means 'radiant'.
Like David his father, Solomon is also characterised as ruddy. This was a mark of physical attractiveness in Solomon's day (1 Sam. 16:12). The bride admires Solomon's dark hair and beautiful eyes, commenting on her beloved's physical features from head to toe.
Some also can perceive the image of Christ in the bride's description. But we shouldn't think of this as a picture of His physical appearance, or we'll miss the powerful imagery of Christ as our Bridegroom. Just as the bride was overwhelmed when she saw the one she loved in his splendour, we too will be overcome when we see Christ in His glory (Rev. 1:13-17).
What is the most beautiful sight you have ever witnessed? Perhaps it was a beautiful sunset or waterfall that you saw while on holidays. It may have been the look on someone's face when they opened a special gift from you. Or it may have been the moment when your spouse first came into view on the day of your wedding... none of this compares to the coming of Christ.
Stalled?
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15.
Some of you may be 'stalled' in your spiritual walk. You've gone so far and can't quite go any farther. You seemed to have come to a place where it's easy to rest and not worry about having to do anything else. Perhaps you were trying to build yourself up, get stronger and more active in the Lord. But now you feel there is no hope of completing the task.
Never fear! Where God sends you, you will be able to do whatever He has sent you to do! He tells us to go into 'all the world' and preach the gospel. That may not mean 'everywhere' for each of us, but, if EACH of us does our part, then we will have gone into 'all the world' and preached the Word!
So, if you are 'stalled', chances look slim of completing the task... ask God to show you the path you need to go. Listen attentively, for He says his thoughts are not our thoughts, and neither are our ways his ways. [Isaiah 55:8].
The way we may want to do something may keep us from getting the task done. But if we listen to God, do it HIS WAY, then, we will surely get moving once again!
