But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 1 Pet 3:15 |

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. Wednesday, October 29, 2025
Today's Passage : Today's Passage :Faith and Anxiety Bible Verse:Psalm 23 (KJV) "I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. . . . T hen I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. . . . saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. Write therefore the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this. As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches. " Message:
We often speak or hear of Jesus as our shepherd, but consider what it means. Sheep are stupid and nearly defenseless. They wander off into dangerous places; they do not know where the best pasture or water is; and they are sitting ducks for predators. They live and prosper only because they follow a shepherd, who knows where to go at a particular time for the best grass and water; who steers them away from danger; who finds them when they get lost, rescues them when they get themselves into trouble, and protects them when they are hurt or attacked by wolves.
People are hardheaded and proud. We don’t like to follow anyone without question. We certainly do not like to think of ourselves as stupid. And in earthly terms, we are right; life teaches us not to be sheep, but to be wolves, or lions, or eagles. But our pride is the ultimate trap; it will lead to death.
For in terms of our spiritual lives, we are born fools. The path to true life is counter-intuitive. To find real eternal life, we much come to Christ as little children, innocent and eager to learn, “poor in spirit.” Neither our instincts nor our intellects will save our souls from destruction; our instincts will lead us astray, into danger and death. For we are as powerless before evil as a sheep before a wolf.
Our instincts are neither evil nor good, but without Christ’s help, they will lead us to death. By our nature, we are easily led by our instincts into all manner of sin. We are forever tempted to steal, murder, fornicate, and aggrandize ourselves. Adam and Eve are our nature; every one of us would eat the apple.
But we know how to live because God has told us: Trust Christ, trust the word of God in the Bible, and trust the voice of the Holy Spirit, which we find in prayer. The greater our faith becomes, the less fear and anxiety we experience; and with true faith in our eternal life, even the shadow of death cannot frighten us, for we know a loving and powerful God is with us.
Meditation : Prayer : ow all glory to you, great God, who is able to keep us from falling away and will bring us with great joy into your glorious presence without a single fault. All glory to you who alone are God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are yours before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time!..Amen. |
