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.

Today's Passage : Today's Passage:Human Depravity And Divine Wrath
Bible Verse:Proverbs 30:16
"The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it"
Message:
A Jewish man stepped in and watched a part of Adolf Eichmann’s trial and burst into tears. Eichmann was one of the organisers of the holocaust, where millions of Jews were gassed to death in the gas chambers. Someone next to him said, “Your anger must be unbearable.” He said “No, it isn’t anger. The longer I sit here, the more I realize I have a heart like his.” (Charles Colson, 1993 Templeton Address, “The Enduring Revolution”).
In our text, we read a catalogue of abominable behaviour patterns that are common today. A striking example is the cursing, mocking, and despising of parents by ungrateful and ungodly children. Such acts reveal the fallen nature in man and outright disobedience to God’s express commandment to honour one’s earthly parents. Other acts of depravity highlighted in the text are not limited to children but are common to all, irrespective of age, social status, or educational attainments. These include hypocrisy and unconfessed sins, pride and haughtiness, injustice and oppression, covetousness and sexual immorality.
Many of these sins, such as adultery and fornication, are committed in secret. In our passage, they are likened to birds flying through the air, snakes crawling on rocks, and ships going through the sea without leaving any trace visible to the human eye. Adulterers, fornicators, gossips, and liars hide their misdeeds and pretend as if nothing happened, but God sees and knows everything.
Human depravity knows no bounds. It manifests in the works of the flesh in the lives of the unconverted individuals. However, God’s word states that no sinner will go unpunished. Hence, divine wrath awaits wicked persons and ungrateful children. But all is not lost. God is merciful and willing to forgive all who sincerely repent, confess and forsake their sins, and surrender to Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.
Meditation
:
Prayer :
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever.
Amen.
