Daily Devotions - A Few Moments With 
God
Saturday, April 14, 2001

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, so that those who love your name may exult in you.
(Psalm 5:11 NRSV)


A fishing enthusiast was relaxing by a lake when he was approached by a nosy local. After a moment's thought, the local asked, "Hey there! You fishing?"

The angler gave him a sideways glance and replied, "Nope."

"Then what are you doin' with the fishing pole?" asked the local.

"Oh, I just like to drown worms."

I've drown a few worms in my time. Sometimes, life does not give us what we want. We face situations in which our expectations are unmet. When things don't work out exactly right, our first impulse usually is to gnash our teeth or ask to see the manager. If we can stop for a moment, step back, and take a creative look at the situation, we might be able to find something funny in even the most frustrating situation.

May we smile with God today!


Dear God, life can truly be funny at times. Once again today, I want to thank you for the joy you sent in my savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
