A seminar leader wanted to make an important point, so he took a wide-mouth jar and filled it with rocks. “Is the jar full?” he asked. “Yes,” came a reply. “Oh, really?” he said. Then he poured smaller pebbles into the jar to fill the spaces between the rocks. “Is it full now?” “Yes,” said someone else. “Oh, really?” He then filled the remaining spaces between the rocks and stones with sand. “Is it full now?” he asked. “Probably not,” said another, to the amusement of the audience. Then he took a pitcher of water and poured it into the jar.
“What’s the lesson we learn from this?” he asked. An eager participant spoke up, “No matter how full the jar is, there’s always room for more.” “Not quite,” said the leader. “The lesson is: to get everything in the jar, you must always put the big things in first.”
Jesus proclaimed a similar principle in the Sermon on the Mount. He knew that we waste our time worrying about the little things that seem so urgent but crowd out the big things of eternal value. “Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things,” Jesus reminded His hearers. “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matt. 6:32-33).

Smile,” said Jay as we drove to church. “You look so unhappy.” I wasn’t; I was just thinking, and I can’t do two things at once. But to make him happy, I smiled. “Not like that,” he said. “I mean a real smile.”
His comment got me thinking even more intently. Is it reasonable to expect a real smile from someone who’s being issued a command? A real smile comes from inside; it’s an expression of the heart, not of the face.
We settle for phony smiles in photographs. We’re happy when everyone cooperates at the photographer’s studio and we get at least one picture with everyone smiling. After all, we’re creating an icon of happiness, so it doesn’t have to be genuine.
But phoniness before God is unacceptable. Whether we’re happy or sad or mad, honesty is essential. God doesn’t want false expressions of worship any more than He wants false statements about people or circumstances (Mark 7:6).
Changing our facial expression is easier than changing our attitude, but true worship requires that all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength agree that God is worthy of praise. Even when our circumstances are sad, we can be grateful for God’s mercy and compassion, which are worth more than the “lip service” of a phony smile. — Julie Ackerman Link
What a God we have to worship!What a Son we have to praise!What a future lies before us—Everlasting, love-filled days! —Maynard
A song in the heart puts a smile on the face.

Please pray for the soccer match as I still can't contact the person-in-charge from the other church. However, I did manage to contact one of the members from GBC who's in charge and he confirmed that the person-in-charge of the soccer match should be able to contact us by this weekend. I understand that those in secondary school and JC are having exams and wanted to shift the match to after 13 May. If I can contact the person, I would try to ask for an extra match for after 13 May, instead of postponing the match, as:
1) the response for the soccer match is very good and
2) those in poly have exams at end of May so they might not be able to participate in the match if it got postponed.

Daily Devotion for April 23th

Agreeing With God
These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. —Matthew 15:8

The caller to the radio program mentioned religion, so the radio talk show host began to rant about hypocrites. “I can’t stand religious hypocrites,” he said. “They talk about religion, but they’re no better than I am. That’s why I don’t like all this religious stuff.”

This man didn’t realize it, but he was agreeing with God. God has made it clear that He can’t stand hypocrisy either. It’s ironic, though, that something God opposes is used by some people as an excuse not to seek Him.

Jesus said this about hypocrisy: “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men” (Matt. 15:8-9).

Notice what Jesus said to perhaps the biggest hypocrites of His day, the Pharisees. In Matthew 23, He called them hypocrites—not once, not twice, but seven times! They were religious people who were putting on a big show, but God knew their hearts. He knew they were far from Him.

Non-Christians who point out hypocrisy in us when they see it are right in doing so. They are agreeing with God, who also despises it. Our task is to make sure our lives honor the One who deserves our total dedication. — Dave Branon

Hypocrisy is a common sinThat grieves the Lord above;He longs for those who’ll worship HimIn faith and truth and love. —Bosch
The devil is content to let us profess Christianity as long as we do not practice it.

Have you ever tried writing your own romance, but ended up in a tragedy? Why not hand the pen over to the most creative Author and let Him write your love story? In "When God Write Your Love Story", a couple share their joy and blissfulness when they allowed God to prepare for them their most suitable life-partners. Let this be an encouragement, as well as an assurance, that God cares for all of our lives, including our love lives, and He has prepared what is best for each of us.
