DEVOTION: Luke 22:19
And he took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. "

Today is Memorial Day. it is more than just a day off. It is more than just a good day to open the pool and grill a bunch of stuff. Today we remember those who have given their very lives to defend the freedoms we enjoy daily in this country. We look with deep humility and honor on those who both volunteered and were drafted who gave up their lives so that we can be and remain free. We thank the Lord that there have been so many men and women who thought it best to serve God and country in such a way.

Sound familiar?

There is one who gave His life up for all of us, not just in this country, but for everyone for all time. Every Sunday is memorial day in our churches as we gather together to learn more about that ultimate sacrifice that God incarnate, Jesus Christ, made for us.

And why did He do it? TO MAKE US FREE! He came down to earth, leaving behind His glory and heaven itself, to step into a body like ours, to suffer like we do in every way; to deal with temptation like we do, yet never ever give into it; to die a death that we deserved; all for us!

As you remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to our country, keep in mind the One who gave up His life in service to the whole world, even His enemies, even us, for all time!

Let us pray: Lord God, we thank you for those who have given their lives to keep our freedoms in this place and to defend us from our earthly enemies. We thank you even more for sending Your one and only Son to save us from sin, death, the devil and hell. Amen.

DEVOTION: They returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. Acts 14:21-22

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

The salvation story of Jesus Christ reaches around the world. So that the readers of our Daily Devotion may see the power of the Savior on a global scale, we have asked the volunteers of our International Ministry Centers to write our Friday devotions. We pray that the Spirit may touch your day through their words.

In Christ, I remain, His servant and yours,
Kenneth R. Klaus
Speaker Emeritus of The Lutheran Hour

Today, as in the past, people are living and suffering with different kinds of pain.

You know the list: there is physical, mental and spiritual pain. Pain can make people cry and hurt; it can make them feel sad, exhaust them, and make them angry. No one wants pain, but we cannot escape it. It is part of the sinful human tragedy that we are born in pain, and we shall die in pain.

I must confess I also have pains in my life. Depending on the day and moment I am pained by family, health and finances. Goodness, the list goes on and on. I have noticed when I am in pain, I often go to God and hear myself challenge: "Why did You give this particular pain to me? Are You there when I am in pain? Are You happy to see I am in pain?"

I'm not proud I've asked those questions. I'm not pleased I don't always understand what the Lord is trying to convey. I'm a weak sinner, and I must confess that enough pain can almost make a person lose his mind and, even worse, their trust and faith in God.

Oh, I forgot one thing: when I'm in pain, I never want to blame myself. I always want to place the blame for the problems on others.

At least that's the way it used to be.

Then, one day I was changed. That day I read an article about a girl who was born without the capacity to feel pain. She grew up without knowing pain. She didn't know the things which were bad and dangerous for her. Without pain it was easy for her to seriously cut her hand. Without pain she hardly noticed when boiling water scalded her body. All these incidents left her scarred and led her to contemplate suicide.

At the end of the article the author concluded that pain is a friend. Through pain we learn what is good for us and what is bad.

Spiritually, the same is true. Without pain we cannot know what is eternally dangerous to us. To help us grow and learn, God allows pain to come. It is His way of shielding us from something which could be far worse. As M. Scott Peck said, "Pain is a phenomenon of grace, a gift of God, a message to initiate self-examination and repair."

There's one other thing which must be said: God never leaves us alone in this pain. He always is with us and making sure that pain is constructive and not overwhelming. In this way He teaches us and gives us those blessings that can draw a believing heart closer to Him.

It is my hope you understand what I've been trying to say. I hope you will also, like Job, learn to know all the pains that God allows are blessings to help us endure. They are blessings which, in God's good time, will prove to be beneficial.

And that, my friends, is the promise of 2 Corinthians 12:9, where the Lord says because of My Son's sacrifice, "My grace is sufficient for you."

THE PRAYER: Our Heavenly Father, only through faith can we thank You for pains in our lives. These make us strong, mature us, and increase our trust and faith in You. And, dear Lord, if I doubt, grant me a faith to always believe Your ways are right -- and from a loving Lord. In the Name of Jesus I ask it. Amen.

Biography of Author: Today's international devotion was written by Myo Aundra Maw, who is the program supervisor for Word of Hope, Lutheran Hour Ministries' office in Myanmar. From its ministry center in Yangon, Word of Hope connects with people in this Southeast Asian country of more than 60 million people through radio programs, video and print materials, music and puppet performances, film showings, children's ministries, and more. Using Bible Correspondence Courses (BCC) and Equipping the Saints (ETS) resources, the Gospel has gone forth since LHM first established its presence there in 1999.

TUESDAY'S QUIZ: According to Proverbs what are some kinds of things a fool does?

Here's the long and short of it from Pam Bueltmann

I have finished my Bible Study for the day.

A chattering fool comes to ruin;

The mouth of a fool invites ruin

Spreads slander

Pleasure in evil conduct

A fool will be a servant to the wise

The way of a fool seems right to him

A fool shows his annoyance at once

A fool exposes his folly

A fools talk brings a rod to his back

A fool is hotheaded and reckless

The mouth of a fool gushes folly

A fool spurns his father's discipline

The mouth of a fool feeds on folly

Arrogant lips are unsuited to a fool

A hundred lashes does not impress a fool

Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool in his folly

What use is money in the hand of a fool , since he has no desire to get wisdom?

To have a fool for a son brings grief, there is no joy for the father of a fool.

A fools eyes wander to the end of the earth

Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent

A fool finds no pleasure in understanding, but delights in airing his own opinions

A fool's mouth is his undoing, and his lips are a snare to his soul

Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a fool whose lips are perverse

It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury

A fool is quick to quarrel

do not speak to a fool for he will scorn the wisdom of your words

Wisdom is too high for a fool: in the assembly at the gate he has nothing to say

Honor is not fitting for a fool

Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him )?
Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes. ) ?

Like a lame man's legs that hang limp is a proverb in the mouth of a fool

Like tying a stone in a sling is the giving of honor to a fool

Like a thornbush in a drunkards hand is a proverb in the mouth of a fool

Like an archer who wounds at random is he who hires a fool or any passerby

As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool repeats his folly

Do you see a wise man in his own eyes? there is more hope for a fool than for him

Stone is heavy and sand a burden, but provocation by a fool is heavier than both

Though you grind a fool in a mortar, grinding him like grain with a pestle, you will not remove his folly from him.

He who trusts in himself is a fool

If a wise man goes to court with a fool, the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace

A fool gives full vent to his anger

There is more hope for a fool than a man who speaks in haste

A servant who becomes king, a fool who is full of food

If you have played the fool and exalted yourself, or if you have planned evil, clap your hand over your mouth!!!!!!!!

LCMS responds to Oklahoma tornado: Money Donations requested

LCMS responds to Oklahoma tornado

Disaster Response ministry prepares for long-term recovery efforts

ST. LOUIS, May 21, 2013—In the wake of the monstrous tornado that struck Moore, Okla., and severe storms that affected other areas of the Midwest yesterday, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) asks for prayers and financial gifts to help those affected by the disaster.
The Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison, president of the LCMS, and the Rev. John Fale, associate executive director of the LCMS' Mercy Operations Group, have been in contact with LCMS Oklahoma District President Rev. Barrie E. Henke to begin assessing needs in Moore and plan the church's long-term disaster response plan.
"The needs are going to be huge," Fale said. "We don't know yet the extent of what they will be, but, by the grace of God, we will be there to respond with the love and mercy of Christ to help those affected by the tornado to regain some sense of normalcy."
The EF4 tornado destroyed parts of Moore and killed at least 24 people. Before striking Moore, the tornado touched down in Newcastle, Okla., about 10 miles away.
"We know there are many people who wish to participate in bringing tangible relief to those who suffer from disasters," Fale added. "Those who wish to volunteer with response efforts in Oklahoma are asked to wait for the assessment of the damages and the needs. In the meantime, the best way to support our Synod's relief effort is by contributing to the LCMS' general disaster fund."
