Daily Bread | June 2nd

"Jesus said to them, " I am the bread of life."

John 6:35

Life contains mystery, wonder, and strife. It demands perseverance and wisdom. It will not take many years in one's journey to realize man cannot live by bread alone.

There are many pleasures in life, but nothing possesses an eternal quality. Nothing can help a person or keep them at peace within every season. We must look beyond ourselves and what is supplied by the world around us.

The God of creation has blessed us through His common grace within creation. What we need beyond this is divine intervention. We need the grace of God and the work of the Spirit within our daily lives. It is in Christ, the bread of heaven, that the soul is satisfied, fed, and preserved through all of life's journey. Jesus declared Himself to be the bread of life. Let us partake of Him today, for in Him there is life more abundant.

In Christ Alone.

Before Sunset | May 30th

"Before the day passes away like chaff-

Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land,"

Zephaniah 2:2, 3

By the mercies of God, we have this day. We cannot regain yesterday, and there is no knowledge of tomorrow. It is today that the Lord requires of you.

If we believe that the chief end of our life is to live for God, then every morning is directed in that truth. There is no time to be consumed with self or to fret away the day with anxiety. Today, the Lord has granted unto us to enjoy Him and live for the glory of God.

Let us humble ourselves before the Lord and follow Him in faithful obedience while counting all the blessings God has bestowed upon us. Do not let this day pass without fellowship with God and entrusting yourself to His care.

In Christ Alone.

Bird Watching | May 29th

"Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?"

Matthew 6:26

Have you watched and listened to the God of creation teach you lessons through His creation? Scripture is supreme in instruction, but the Holy Spirit will relay truth to us through the witness of creation.

It is amazing to watch the birds this time of year as they nest in various places. Some chose a tree that appears more natural, while others will find a hidden spot within a man-made structure. You will hear them sing and be busy building their nest while God supplies their needs. What a wonder to witness.

How much more beloved will God care for you? You are infinitely more valuable in the sight of God. You are His beloved, and He is yours. There is nothing in this life that you will experience that will separate you from His lovingkindness. Watch the birds and know that the Lord is watching over you.

In Christ Alone.
