Dear
Friend,
If you do not already have a habit of gathering daily manna the first thing in the morning (we can look at the example given to us in Exodus 16 and find the pattern for make it a habit. Establish your life and your schedule to allow you the necessary time to do your daily collection first thing every morning to give you the strength to make it through the day. And remember that today’s manna will not be sufficient for tomorrow; tomorrow’s manna must be collected tomorrow morning. Saturday, August 29, 2020
Today's Passage : Today's Passage:The Destruction of Assyria Bible Verse:Nahum 3:1-7 "Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not; the noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots. The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses: because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts. Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame. And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock. And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?" Message:
Since Nahum was mentioned in Tobit, it seemed like a good time to include a reading. It is a short book of three chapters and notable for two reasons. First, it specifically and directly predicts the destruction of Nineveh, and secondly, it is vivid and colorful, an unabashed diatribe, notable for its violence even among the latter prophets — all of whom are fairly colorful. There is none of the subtlety or poetry of Habakkuk here! God will pull the skirts of the harlot over her face, and “cast abominable filth” on Nineveh; its people will “stumble upon their corpses.”
Some scholars have suggested that Nahum’s writings are historical. Although the orthodox view is that the book was written as prophecy written in @ 615 B.C., just before the downfall of Assyria, several more recent scholars have suggested that he wrote this passage as liturgy just after its downfall in 612 B.C. But it is clearly written in the future tense and was credited as prophetic in Tobit, so most Christians take it at face value.
Meditation : Prayer : And now, as a little child, let me abide in you all this day, oh Christ, so that when you appear I may have confidence and not shrink from you in shame at your coming. For I know that you are righteous, and I am sure that I will be made righteous only by my life in you........Amen |
