=========================== TODAY'S ARTICLE ==========================


Compassion, by Alan Smith


The following short story comes from an unknown author, but most of us
can recognize it as something that could happen in any home with
children.

I'd had a pretty hectic day with my four-year-old. When bedtime
finally came, I laid down the law: "We're putting on your pajamas,
brushing your teeth, and reading ONE book. Then it's lights out!"

Her arms went around my neck in a gentle embrace, and she said, "We
learned in Sunday school about little boys and girls who don't have
mommies and daddies."

Even after I'd been such a grouch, I thought, she was still
grateful to have me. I felt tears begin to well up in my eyes, and
then she whispered, "Maybe you could go be THEIR mom?"

You would think that being aware of others who are in need would make
us more appreciative for what we have. That's not always the case. I
can remember growing up hearing those words every child -- at least,
many a child in the U.S. -- heard when we complained about not wanting
to eat what was being served for dinner. "You need to eat your
vegetables. There are children in China who are starving right now."

My first reaction was usually to think, "How is my eating this plate of
food going to help them?"

God repeatedly rebuked his people for ignoring the needs of people all
around them.

My second reaction was usually to think, "How about if we just stick
this food in an envelope and ship it off to them?"

Unfortunately, being aware of others who are in need does not always
make us more appreciative for what we have -- while it should, it often
doesn't. Being aware of people in the world who are suffering famine
doesn't seem to make us appreciate that we have plenty of food. Being
aware of Christians in the world who are being persecuted for their
faith doesn't seem to make us appreciate that we have freedom of
religion. Being aware of people in the world who have no family or
friends doesn't seem to make us appreciate that we have both.

Sadly, it seems, often the only thing that makes us appreciate
something is having it removed from our own lives for a while. Think
about it. When do you most appreciate the fact that you enjoy
electricity and running water? I'm guessing, if you're like me, that
it's after you've had one or the other unavailable for a while.

In the prophets, God repeatedly rebuked his people for ignoring the
needs of people all around them. Perhaps more than any other sin, the
Israelites were guilty of a lack of compassion:

Woe to you ... Who lie in beds of ivory, stretch out on your
couches, eat lambs from the flock and calves from the midst of the
stall ... who drink wine from bowls, and anoint yourselves with the
best ointments, but are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph (Amos
6:3-6 NKJV).

Open your eyes to the needs of those around you. Take advantage of
opportunities to help those whom you can. And allow the needs of others
to cause you to reflect on how blessed you are, and the responsibility
you have to use what God has blessed you with in a way that will
glorify Him.

Morning & Evening -- 2 Timothy 2:1 and 2 Chronicles 31:21

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / Charles Spurgeon's MORNING & EVENING

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday, March 15, 2008

MORNING:

"Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus."
-- 2&nbsp;Timothy 2:1

Christ has grace without measure in himself, but he hath not retained
it for himself. As the reservoir empties itself into the pipes, so hath
Christ emptied out his grace for his people. "Of his fulness have all
we received, and grace for grace." He seems only to have in order to
dispense to us. He stands like the fountain, always flowing, but only
running in order to supply the empty pitchers and the thirsty lips
which draw nigh unto it. Like a tree, he bears sweet fruit, not to hang
on boughs, but to be gathered by those who need. Grace, whether its
work be to pardon, to cleanse, to preserve, to strengthen, to
enlighten, to quicken, or to restore, is ever to be had from him freely
and without price; nor is there one form of the work of grace which he
has not bestowed upon his people. As the blood of the body, though
flowing from the heart, belongs equally to every member, so the
influences of grace are the inheritance of every saint united to the
Lamb; and herein there is a sweet communion between Christ and his
Church, inasmuch as they both receive the same grace. Christ is the
head upon which the oil is first poured; but the same oil runs to the
very skirts of the garments, so that the meanest saint has an unction
of the same costly moisture as that which fell upon the head. This is
true communion when the sap of grace flows from the stem to the branch,
and when it is perceived that the stem itself is sustained by the very
nourishment which feeds the branch. As we day by day receive grace from
Jesus, and more constantly recognize it as coming from him, we shall
behold him in communion with us, and enjoy the felicity of communion
with him. Let us make daily use of our riches, and ever repair to him
as to our own Lord in covenant, taking from him the supply of all we
need with as much boldness as men take money from their own purse.

EVENING:

"He did it with all his heart and prospered."
-- 2&nbsp;Chronicles 31:21

This is no unusual occurrence; it is the general rule of the moral
universe that those men prosper who do their work with all their
hearts, while those are almost certain to fail who go to their labour
leaving half their hearts behind them. God does not give harvests to
idle men except harvests of thistles, nor is he pleased to send wealth
to those who will not dig in the field to find its hid treasure. It is
universally confessed that if a man would prosper, he must be diligent
in business. It is the same in religion as it is in other things. If
you would prosper in your work for Jesus, let it be heart work, and let
it be done with all your heart. Put as much force, energy, heartiness,
and earnestness into religion as ever you do into business, for it
deserves far more. The Holy Spirit helps our infirmities, but he does
not encourage our idleness; he loves active believers. Who are the most
useful men in the Christian church? The men who do what they undertake
for God with all their hearts. Who are the most successful
Sabbath-school teachers? The most talented? No; the most zealous; the
men whose hearts are on fire, those are the men who see their Lord
riding forth prosperously in the majesty of his salvation.
Whole-heartedness shows itself in perseverance; there may be failure at
first, but the earnest worker will say, "It is the Lord's work, and it
must be done; my Lord has bidden me do it, and in his strength I will
accomplish it." Christian, art thou thus "with all thine heart" serving
thy Master? Remember the earnestness of Jesus! Think what heart-work
was his! He could say, "The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up." When
he sweat great drops of blood, it was no light burden he had to carry
upon those blessed shoulders; and when he poured out his heart, it was
no weak effort he was making for the salvation of his people. Was Jesus
in earnest, and are we lukewarm?

My Utmost For His Highest : "The Discipline Of Dismay"

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST --

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

March 15, 2008


THE DISCIPLINE OF DISMAY

And as they followed, they were afraid.

Mark 10:32

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=mr+10:32&sr=1

At the beginning we were sure we knew all about Jesus Christ, it was
a delight to sell all and to fling ourselves out in a hardihood of
love; but now we are not quite so sure. Jesus is on in front and He
looks strange: "Jesus went before them and they were amazed."

There is an aspect of Jesus that chills the heart of a disciple to
the core and makes the whole spiritual life gasp for breath. This
strange Being with His face "set like a flint" and His striding
determination, strikes terror into me. He is no longer Counsellor and
Comrade, He is taken up with a point of view I know nothing about,
and I am amazed at Him. At first I was confident that I understood
Him, but now I am not so sure. I begin to realize there is a distance
between Jesus Christ and me; I can no longer be familiar with Him. He
is ahead of me and He never turns round; I have no idea where He is
going, and the goal has become strangely far off.

Jesus Christ had to fathom every sin and every sorrow man could
experience, and that is what makes Him seem strange. When we see Him
in this aspect we do not know Him, we do not recognize one feature of
His life, and we do not know how to begin to follow Him. He is on in
front, a Leader Who is very strange, and we have no comradeship with
Him.

The discipline of dismay is essential in the life of discipleship.
The danger is to get back to a little fire of our own and kindle
enthusiasm at it (cf. Isaiah 1:10-11). When the darkness of dismay
comes, endure until it is over, because out of it will come that
following of Jesus which is an unspeakable joy.

GOD'S SIMPLE MESSAGE

1 Corinthians 2:1-5

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1+Corinthians+2:1-5

Dear Father, God of all true wisdom, power, and glory,

When I set about to share your Good News about Jesus with other
people, keep me from using lofty concepts or high-sounding words.
Let me speak of nothing except Christ and him crucified.

Help me to understand that it is okay for me to show my own
weakness, fear, and trembling. Let my words demonstrate your Spirit
and power, so that the faith which germinates will rest not in my
wisdom but in yours.

In the name of Jesus, by his authority, and according to his will
I lift up this petition to you. Amen.

WJD! -- Anxious Honesty -- Mark 4:38

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / WHAT JESUS DID! --

--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

Anxious Honesty


Jesus was inside the boat, sleeping with his head on a
pillow. The followers went to him and woke him. They said,
"Teacher, do you care about us? We will drown!"

-- Mark 4:38 (ERV)


KEY THOUGHT:
I am so thankful about the honest portrayal of Jesus' disciples. I can
see myself in them and know that God uses people like me. Maybe you're
not like most of us who sometimes panic when we feel overwhelmed.
Fortunately for us, the early followers of Jesus did have bouts with
panic and fear just like we do. In their fear, they don't pretend to
have everything under control. They don't puff out their chest with
false bravado and act like they can handle the situation. Even though
their honesty leads to a rebuke, it also leads to a miracle! Why?
Because they are willing to go honestly to their Savior with their
fears. They have much to learn ... and he will teach them. They also
have much to lose ... and he will protect them. What are you holding
back in your conversation with the Savior? What has you panicked,
afraid, or anxious that you have not fully shared with the Lord? Storms
come and go, but only the Lord stands the test of time. Be real about
your fears and anxieties and let him care for you. Yes, he will
challenge you to greater faith. But that's the point isn't it? That in
our weakness he calls us to himself and offers us grace.


TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, I confess to you now the burdens of my heart, knowing that you
will hear them and do what is best for me. In Jesus name. Amen.

Today's Verse : Genesis 3:15

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / TODAY'S VERSE from HEARTLIGHT --

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------


March 15, 2008


VERSE:
"And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between
your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will
strike his heel."
-- Genesis 3:15

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Genesis+3:15

THOUGHT:
This is God's curse upon the serpent who tempted Eve and Adam to
sin. Satan is the personality behind the serpent. Even in this
curse, even in the recognition of a struggle between the woman's
offspring and Satan, God embeds his promise for our better future.
In Jesus, that future comes! Satan appears to win the battle at the
Cross, but the passage of three days changes everything. Jesus'
triumph over death leaves him with only a "bruised heel," but
leaves Satan powerless to make death the final word. The Evil One's
best plans and greatest power lie crushed at the doorway of Jesus'
empty tomb!

PRAYER:
Thank you, dear Father, for taking the stinger out of death and
establishing an assured hope for my future. Not only do I believe
that Jesus rose from the dead, but I also believe you will also
raise me up and bless me with life forever in your presence. For
this enduring victory, I praise you in Jesus' name. Amen.

best plans and greatest power lie crushed at the doorway of Jesus'
empty tomb!

PRAYER:
Thank you, dear Father, for taking the stinger out of death and
establishing an assured hope for my future. Not only do I believe
that Jesus rose from the dead, but I also believe you will also
raise me up and bless me with life forever in your presence. For
this enduring victory, I praise you in Jesus' name. Amen.
