If you doubt you can accomplish something, then you can't accomplish it. You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person's determination.

Personal Story Of The Day
Affliction... when we accept it with patience and humility, it can lead us to a deeper, fuller life. "Before I was afflicted I went astray," David wrote, "but now I keep Your Word" (Psalm 119:67). And again, "It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Thy statutes" (v71).
Pain, far from being an obstacle to our spiritual growth, can actually be the pathway to it. If we allow pain to train us, it can lead us closer to God and into His Word. It is often the means by which our Father graciously shapes us to be like His Son, gradually giving us the courage, compassion, contentment, and tranquillity we long and pray for. Without pain, God would not accomplish all that He desires to do in and through us.
Are you one whom God is instructing through suffering and pain? By His grace, you can endure His instruction patiently (2 Corinthians 12:9). He can turn the trial into a blessing and use it to draw you into His power and into His Word. He can also teach you the lessons He intends for you to learn, and give you His peace in the midst of your difficulties.
Jokes Of The Day
Three boys were bragging about their fathers. The first one said, "My father runs so fast he can fire an arrow, start running, and get there before the arrow!"The second one said, "That's nothing! My father can shoot a gun, start running, and get there before the bullet!"
The third boy just smiled. "That's nothing. My father is a public servant. He gets off work at 5 and is home before 4!"
************************************
An old European monastery is perched high on a 500 foot cliff. Visitors ride up in a big basket, pulled to the top with a ragged old rope.
Halfway up, a passenger nervously asked: "How often do you change the rope?"
The monk in charge replied: "Whenever the old one breaks."
************************************
Mac died at the controls of a plane and went to pilot's hell, where he found a hideous devil and three doors. The devil was busy escorting other pilots to various "hell rooms." He said, "I'll be right back don't go away," and he vanished. Sneaking over to the first door, Mac peeked in and saw a cockpit where the pilot was condemned to forever run through preflight checks. He slammed the door and peeked into the second. There, alarms rang and red lights flashed while a pilot had to avoid one emergency after another. Unable to imagine a worse fate Mac cautiously opened the third door. He was amazed to see many beautiful attendants answering to a captain's every whim. He quickly returned to his place seconds before the devil reappeared.
"Okay, Mac," said the devil, "Which door will it be, number 1 or number 2?" "Um, I want door number 3," answered Mac.
"Sorry," said the devil. "You can't have door number 3, that's flight attendants' hell."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Something To Live By.
Cares of This World
Mark 4:19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
Let's be truthful. We hear the Word, when it's preached. We say we read the Bible, and we study the Word, but do we 'practice' the Word? The cares of this world creep before us, whether it be a new car (hey, the pastor just bought a new car and I sure wish I had one like it!), and whether you can afford it or not, you go right out and try to do it.
Are we careless hearers? Does it go in one ear and out the other? Do we realize that, without the Word, we are unarmed, and will be unable to defend ourselves against the enemy, when he comes... AND, he will come! The enemy is like some predatory birds. They go around, hunting the roads looking for some animal that didn't make it. In that same respect, Satan goes around, waiting to see who are careless hearers, who just let the Word go in, but never do a thing with it. They 'hear' it on Sunday, but go about their merry way, Monday through Saturday. And, he's watching, waiting for them to get hit.
Let's be more careful to adhere to God's Word, to follow after His precepts, to attend to His commandments, and heed His warnings. Let's not attend to the worldly affairs and forget that He wants us attending to our souls. We should watch for the Lord's return, pray continually, and worship Him in spirit and in truth. Don't let the worldly things hinder your attending to your soul's needs and the needs of others!
Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world. Matthew 28:20. References from Matthew 28:16-20.
The last words spoken before death reveal a person's character and priorities... the ways by and reasons in which he lived his life. So we should pay close attention to the last words spoken on earth by our Lord Jesus, found at the end of today's verses.
Before His Ascension, Jesus entrusted to His disciples the command we know as the Great Commission (v18-20). Its foundation is the authority and presence of Christ. God gave Him all authority, which He demonstrated in His victory over death and sin. To have Him always by our side is a tremendous encouragement and perhaps the ultimate fulfillment of His name, Immanuel... God with us.
Because Jesus has all authority, we can and must do what He said: go and make disciples. Go implies that movement or change of some sort is required... we think of Abraham and his journey of faith. Make disciples means were not trying to score mere converts, but to grow and cultivate lifelong Christians. This reminds us that salvation is an ongoing process... beginning with the anointing of the Spirit, continuing toward Christ likeness, through the forgiveness of sins and personal growth, and finishing with glorification, the climax of God's redemptive work.
God's vision of salvation is global, so we are to go to all nations and all races. The work of preaching the gospel must include baptizing believers in water and Spirit and teaching them to obey everything Jesus said. To live worthily and wisely, we must govern our lives by these parting words of our Lord.
