quot;Research from Policy Exchange reveals that pay in the public sector continued to pull away from that in the private sector last year. Public sector workers are now paid more than private sector workers on every measure one chooses: the mean (or average) salary in the public sector worker is 4 per cent higher, the median (or typical) pay packet is 16 per cent higher and median hourly pay is 35 per cent higher (because public sector workers work fewer hours on average).quot;

quot;There is plenty of room at the top because very few people care to travel beyond the average route. And so most of us seem satisfied to remain within the confines of mediocrityquot;

If I should die, think only this of me:



That there#39;s some corner of a foreign field



That is for ever England. There shall be



In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;



A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,



Gave, once, her flowers to love her ways to roam,



A body of England#39;s, breathing English air,



Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.



nbsp;



And think, this heart, all evil shed away,



A pulse in the eternal mind, no less



Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;



Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;



And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,



In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

nbsp;nbsp; nbsp; But, dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold.



These laid the world away; poured out the rednbsp;



Sweet wine of youth; gave up the years to be



nbsp;nbsp; nbsp; Of work and joy, and that unhoped serene,



nbsp;nbsp; nbsp; That men call age; and those who would have been,



Their sons, they gave, their immortality.



nbsp;



Blow, bugles, blow! They brought us, for our dearth,



nbsp;nbsp; nbsp; Holiness, lacked so long, and Love, and Pain.



Honour has come back, as a king, to earth,



nbsp;nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;And paid his subjects with a royal wage;



And Nobleness walks in our ways again;



nbsp;nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;And we have come into our heritage.

Here lies a clerk who half his life had spent



Toiling at ledgers in a city grey,



Thinking that so his days would drift away



With no lance broken in life#39;s tournament:



Yet ever #39;twixt the books and his bright eyes



The gleaming eagles of the legions came,



And horsemen, charging under phantom skies,



Went thundering past beneath the oriflamme.



nbsp;



And now those waiting dreams are satisfied;



From twilight to the halls of dawn he went;



His lance is broken; but lies content



With that high hour, in which he lived and died.



And falling thus he wants no recompense,



Who found his battle in the last resort;



Nor needs he any hearse to bear him hence,



Who goes to join the men in Agincourt.



nbsp;

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“Give us this day our daily bread”
(Matthew 6:11, NKJ)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

God has grace in store for you every single day. Grace is His supernatural empowerment, His unmerited favor on your life. All throughout scripture, we see God giving daily grace, empowerment and provision to His people. For example, when the people of Israel were in the wilderness headed toward their Promised Land, God gave them manna each morning to eat. It would just appear on the ground. But He specifically instructed them to gather up only enough for one day’s supply. In fact, if they got more than that, it wouldn’t last. It would spoil. They were learning to trust God’s grace every single day.

In the same way, God doesn’t give us grace for a year at a time or even a month at a time. No, every twenty-four hours God has a fresh new supply of grace, favor, wisdom and forgiveness. How are you going to make it through the seasons of your life? One day at a time. Look for His grace today. Look for His provision today. Look for His hand of favor and blessing today because He promises to supply everything you need for today.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, thank You for Your grace and favor on my life today. I know that You have a fresh supply of everything that I need — physically, spiritually and emotionally — today. Help me to trust You more as I seek Your face. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

— Joel Victoria Osteen]]> Sun, 17 Oct 2010 09:30:00 -0400 http://edenomandafrica.tigblog.org/post/2954223 51.5 -0.116666751.5-0.1166667 TODAY’S WORD http://edenomandafrica.tigblog.org/post/2954221 “But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out His special favor on me — and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by His grace”
(1 Corinthians 15:10, NLT)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

In this day and age, many people are filled with worry about their future. They live stressed out, wondering, “What’s going to happen if I get laid off?” “How am I going to handle it if my loved one doesn’t make it?” Or, “My parents are getting older. How can I take care of them and my own family as well?” Here is the answer: God’s grace is going to be there at every stage of your life to help you do whatever you need to do.

See, God’s grace is what saves us, but that’s not all. Grace is God’s enabling power. His grace will give you the strength, wisdom and favor to accomplish what you could not normally accomplish on your own. His grace is sufficient for whatever you need in your future.

If you’re in a difficult marriage, if you’re raising a child that’s hard, if you’re facing a sickness, one thing you can count on is that the grace of God will be there. Receive His grace today, by faith, and let Him empower you to walk through that difficulty into a place of supernatural victory in Jesus’ name!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, thank You for Your grace that is at work in my life. Thank You for empowering me every day to fulfill Your purposes. Keep me close to You and teach me to trust as I walk with You one day at a time. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

An old saying is, "Yesterday is but a dream, tomorrow but a vision..." There is some truth in this when we apply it to how we live today. Our yesterdays and tomorrows have everything to do with today! Our past experiences affect us today—for good or for bad. Our hopes and dreams for tomorrow dictate the steps we need to take now.
Life each day is interwoven with the strands and threads of yesterday and tomorrow. We can learn to remove the strands that hinder us or that are hurtful, and search for the strands that are positive and uplifting. The experiences of yesterday ought to teach us where to go and what to avoid. That should make today more profitable. Hope is the anchor of the soul (Hebrews 6:19)—and hope always rests in tomorrow. So focus on today, within the experiences of yesterday and the hope of tomorrow.]]> Thu, 14 Oct 2010 03:51:00 -0400 http://edenomandafrica.tigblog.org/post/2939109 51.5 -0.116666751.5-0.1166667 Walk With Me http://edenomandafrica.tigblog.org/post/2936619
United Church of God


Walk With Me

Mankind has been given the example of how to live by what Jesus Christ taught and by His actions. Paul instructed Corinth to follow him as he followed Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1). When you walk with Christ, you experience a deep inner peace of knowing that the way is right and wholesome. But by following Christ, you will be out of step with the rest of the world. The world does not like those who swim against the flow, so some will often expend much energy trying to conform to this world. The end result of conforming to the world is not happiness and fulfillment; it is heartache and regret.
Sin can be pleasurable for the moment; walking with Christ is pleasurable for eternity. Jesus' invitation carries with it blessings and a future that includes no more tears, sorrow or fear. Try it. Walk with Him every day—and feel the peace He offers.]]> Wed, 13 Oct 2010 23:32:00 -0400 http://edenomandafrica.tigblog.org/post/2936619 51.5 -0.116666751.5-0.1166667
