Jesus Vs. Satan

Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better on his computer. They had been going at it for days, and God was tired of hearing all the bickering. Finally, God said, "Cool it. I am going to set up a test that will run two hours and I will judge who does the better job."

So down Satan and Jesus sat at the keyboards and typed away. They moused. They did spreadsheets. They wrote reports. They sent faxes. They sent e-mail. They downloaded. They did some genealogy reports. They made cards. They did every know job.

But ten minutes before their time was up, lightening suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured and, of course, the electricity went off. Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld.

Jesus just sighed. The electricity finally flickered back on, and each one of them restarted their computers.

Satan started searching frantically, screaming "It's gone!" It's all gone! I lost everything when the power went out!"

Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours. Satan observed this and became irate. "Wait! He cheated, how did he do it?"

God shrugged and said, "Jesus saves."

Trust Him, Always

by Helen Steiner Rice

Never dread tomorrow

or what the future brings,

Just pray for strength and courage

and trust God in all things,

And never grow discouraged,

be patient and just wait,

For God never comes too early

and He never comes too late.
