OUR DAILY BREAD April 17, 2016 Sunday CHAMELEON CRAWL Lawrence Darmani Acts 2:42-47 Every day they continued to meet together. Acts 2:46 “The house of the Lord” at Jerusalem was King David’s place of worship, and he was far from being a “chameleon” worshiper. Rather, he rejoiced with those who said, “Let us go to the house of the Lord” (Ps. 122:1). The same was true for believers in the early church. “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. . . . Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts” (Acts 2:42, 46). What a joy it is to join with others in worship and fellowship! Praying and worshiping together, studying the Scriptures together, and caring for one another are essential for our spiritual growth and unity as believers. Before our Father’s throne we pour our ardent prayers; our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, our comf...

"Prayers & Blessings Daily "Blessed are They Whose Iniquities are Forgiven": 7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.  (Romans 4 : 7 - 8 - KJV)

OUR DAILY BREAD April 16, 2016 Saturday THE APPLE OF HIS EYE Amy Boucher Pye Zechariah 2 Whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye.  Zechariah 2:8 A friend’s baby was suffering seizures, so they sped to the hospital in an ambulance, her heart racing as she prayed for her daughter. Her fierce love for this child hit her afresh as she held her tiny fingers, recalling too how much more the Lord loves us and how we are “the apple of His eye.” The prophet Zechariah employs this phrase in his word to God’s people who had returned to Jerusalem after their captivity in Babylon. He calls them to repent, to rebuild the temple, and to renew their hearts of love for the true God. For the Lord loves His people greatly; they are the apple of His eye. Hebrew scholars suggest this phrase from Zechariah 2 denotes one’s reflection in the pupil of another’s eye, with the word “apple” emerging because it’s a common spherical object...

OUR DAILY BREAD April 13, 2016 Wednesday HEART CHECK Joe Stowell Luke 12:22-34 Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Luke 12:34 Our choices are always revealing. Of course, God doesn’t need to wait to see our choices in order for Him to know what’s in our hearts. But the things that occupy our time and attention are telling. As Jesus said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Luke 12:34). Regardless of what we want Him to think of us, the true condition of our heart becomes clear based on how we use our time, our money, and our talents. When we invest these resources in the things He cares about, then it reveals that our hearts are in tune with His. God’s heart is with the needs of people and the advancement of His kingdom. What do your choices tell Him and others about where your heart is? Lord, I want my heart to be in tune with Yours. Forgive me for giving it to things of far less value, and teach me the joy ...

OUR DAILY BREAD April 12, 2016 Tuesday RESISTING THE TRAP Jennifer Benson Schuldt Genesis 4:1-8 Sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it. Genesis 4:7 A Venus flytrap can digest an insect in about 10 days. The process begins when an unsuspecting bug smells nectar on the leaves that form the trap. When the insect investigates, it crawls into the jaws of the plant. The leaves clamp shut within half a second and digestive juices dissolve the bug. This meat-eating plant reminds me of the way sin can devour us if we are lured into it. Sin is hungry for us. Genesis 4:7 says, “If you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you.” God spoke these words to Cain just before he killed his brother Abel. Sin may try to entice us by tempting us with a new experience, convincing us that living right doesn’t matter, or appealing to our physical senses. However, there is a way for us to rule over sin inst...

OUR DAILY BREAD April 11, 2016 Monday WHO AM I WORKING FOR? Ecclesiastes 4:4-16 “For whom am I toiling,” he asked, “and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?” Ecclesiastes 4:8 Henry worked 70 hours a week. He loved his job and brought home a sizeable paycheck to provide good things for his family. He always had plans to slow down but he never did. One evening he came home with great news—he had been promoted to the highest position in his company. But no one was home. Over the years, his children had grown up and moved out, his wife had found a career of her own, and now the house was empty. There was no one to share the good news with. Solomon talked about the need to keep a balance in life with our work. He wrote, “Fools fold their hands and ruin themselves” (Eccl. 4:5). We don’t want to go to the extreme of being lazy, but neither do we want to fall into the trap of being a workaholic. “Better one handful with tranquillit...

THEME OF THE YEAR: UNCOMMON REWARD (GEN. 15:1) THEME OF THE MONTH: ABIDING PRESENCE OF GOD (EXODUS 33:13-18) TOPIC: THE POWER OF ABIDING PRESENCE OF GOD We started this month theme by explain the abiding and manifest presence of God and both are needed in our lives as people of God. To enjoy the presence of God in our lives always our lives must be attractive to God. This we can achieve by consciously making efforts while relying on God’s grace to keep us holy. A saying goes thus: “cleanliness is next to godliness”. This implies that you can’t attract God’s presence while living in uncleanness. The truth is that God is much more interested to have His presence in our lives than we desire to have His presence. More than ever before, God longs for our love and intimacy, and He deserves our absolute love and surrender. He is the lover of our souls, and He wants to be in the life of each believer. I am convinced that life without Him is empty and ...
