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: Believing Lies
Bible Verse: 2 Thessalonians 2:11,12
"And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thessalonians 2:11,12)."
Message:
Someone said that when people believe lies long enough, they soon see them as truth. Today, social media has influenced people so much that the line between truth and lie has become blurred for many people. The good old days of truth-telling now seem unbelievable, and the new normal is to consider the so-called “alternative facts” as truth.
In today’s passage, Paul warns the Thessalonian believers against finding his teachings on the second coming of Christ difficult to believe. He draws their attention to the connection between salvation and righteousness, which should be their primary focus. He encourages them to “stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word or our epistle.”
Teachings about the second coming of Christ have been ridiculed in some circles. Some use the teachings to take advantage of the simple and young believers. Others use them to abuse their privileged positions of leadership in the church and mislead many followers. We must neither misuse our positions nor mislead others.
God’s desire in this end-time is for the church to be prepared for the second coming of Jesus by watching and praying. The Lord expects us to be busy reaching out to lost souls and living humble and God-dependent lives. We must develop good habits of praying, reading, and meditating on the word of God. As we do this, we will show what we believe by how we live.
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.
