Psalms
Blessed is the man
that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
The ungodly are not so:
but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous:
but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
It Is Not The Critic That Counts
It’s not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred with the sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause and who, at best knows the triumph of high achievement and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” (Theodore Roosevelt, 1858-1919, 26th US President and 1906 Nobel Peace Prize-winner.)

Story:
Story of soldier wondering who was out of line when they said line up, & it was him.
Scripture:
2 Timothy 2:3-5
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
Humor:
The story is told that after sometime in the Garden, Eve grew restless and began to question Adam’s commitment to her.
She inquired, “Adam, do you still love me?”
Adam replied, “There’s no one else but you, honey.”
After thinking through the encounter, Adam inquired of God as to why He made Eve so beautiful.
God replied, “So you would love her.”
Adam continued, “And why did you make her so soft?”
God replied again, “So you would love her,”
Adam pressed on, “And why did you make her so loving?
Again God replied, “So you would love her.”
Finally Adam ventured, “And why did you make her so stupid, God?”
God replied, “So she would love you.” God has a way of humbling us when we need it most.

Stillness Is Such A Powerful And Under Used Weapon
Be still, and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

1/2–Argumentative People
Story:
A boy was so impressed by the Washington Monument he wanted to buy it. He offered a security guard the dollar that was in his pocket.
The security guard responded by saying, “First you can’t buy this because it is not for sale. Second, you can’t afford it if it was. Third, as an American citizen you already own it anyway.”
Something similar can be said for the blessings of God for Christians. First, the blessings of God are not for sale. He offers then freely through Jesus Christ.
Second, if they were for sale we could not afford them. Third, as believers, we already own them.
We cannot buy His Blessings – we already have them!
Scripture:
Proverbs 10:6-7
Blessings are upon the head of the just:
but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
The memory of the just is blessed:
but the name of the wicked shall rot.

The Golfer Who Was Humbled By A Blind Man
1/2
One of the golfers on the pro tour some years ago was a pompous egomaniac with the emotional maturity of a six-year-old. He could do nothing wrong and always had a quick excuse for any loss: it was a lousy course, the other golfers were cheating, the weather was terrible, etc. As if these faults were not enough, he was also not above hustling a few extra dollars playing amateurs in cities on the tour for $50 a hole.
One day he was approached by a man wearing dark glasses and carrying a white cane who offered to play him for $100 a hole. “Why, I can’t play you,” the professional protested. “You’re blind, aren’t you?” “Yes, I am,” replied the man. “But that’s all right. I was a state champion before I went blind. I think I can beat you.” Now the conceited one had not been doing well lately–he needed the money. Anyway, blind or not, if the guy was crazy enough to challenge him…well, why not? “You did say $100 a hole?”
The blind man nodded. “Well, all right. It’s a deal. But don’t say I didn’t warn you–you’ll lose your money. When would you like to play?” “Any night at all,” replied the blind man. “Any night at all.”

I Want Wisdom To Help The People Of God
In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in. And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

1/1–Ask Someone
Story:
Church does mean something, you know.
In a certain mountain village a pastor wondered what legacy he should leave to his townspeople. At last he decided to build them a church.
No one saw the complete plans for the church until it was finished.
When the people gathered, they marveled at its beauty and completeness. Then someone asked, “But where are the lamps? How will it be lighted?”
The pastor pointed to some brackets in the walls. Then he gave to each family a lamp which they were to bring with them each time they came to worship.
“Each time you are here the area where you are seated will be lighted,” the pastor said.
“Each time you are not here, that area will be dark. This is to remind you that whenever you fail to come to church, some part of God’s house will be dark.”
Is your lamp lit?
Scripture:
Hebrews 10:25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

BY THE TIME THE MORNING SERVICE WAS TO
BEGIN, ONLY ONE MAN WAS IN THE CHURCH.
THE PRIEST SAID TO HIM. “IT LOOKS LIKE
EVERYONE HAS SLEPT IN. DO YOU WANT TO
GO HOME OR SHOULD I PREACH THE
SERMON?”
THE MAN REPLIED, “WHEN I GO TO FEED THE
CHICKENS AND ONLY ONE COMES. I STILL
FEED IT”
THE PRIEST TOOK THAT AS A YES, MOUNTED
THE PULPIT AND DELIVERED AN HOUR-LONG
SERMON.
AT THE END, HE ASKED THE MAN WHAT HE
THOUGHT.
HIS ANSWER: “WHEN I GO TO FEED THE
CHICKENS AND ONLY ONE COMES, I DON’T
GIVE IT THE WHOLE BUCKET!”
