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, September 24, 2025
Today's Passage : Today's Passage:Human and Spiritual Points of View BibleVerse:2 Corinthians 5:14-19 "For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. " Message:
Paul gets right to the point about a difficult issues all Christians face; how much can we live in the world, and how much should we live in the Spirit? Paul here urges us to go “all the way,” as it were. He says that “everything” has become new.
We can no longer regard other people like we once did. We do not hate them, no matter how evil their acts, for we are taught to love other people as God loves us, always forgiving. When I get angry at someone, or find myself judging someone harshly or starting to hate them, I tell myself that they are God’s beautiful child.

It is difficult, perhaps impossible, not to judge other people. But we must examine ourselves—and I suggest, every night, when our memory of the day is fresh—and remember where we have judged someone. We will then be able to grapple with our natural judgmentalism and, ultimately, confess it as a sin. How important is it? One of our memory verse, 1 John 1:9, tells us, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
The entire question can become confusing and difficult. What if someone at work shirks his duties and makes extra work for us, or undermines our employer? What if our neighbor has loud, drunken parties and laughs if we complain? We have to do our best, but one thing is certain: whatever we do, we must begin by praying about the matter and not passing judgment on them, for we are all sinners.
Meditation : Prayer : dedicate this day to you, mighty God. I pray that your Spirit will lift me up this day, and that your face may shine upon me all the day long, that I might do your will and lead a new life in Christ, reborn in the Spirit.Amen. |
