If you haven’t been reading Jennifer Arimborgo’s blog, Feeding on Jesus then let me introduce you to this dear sister. She has served for many years on the mission field in South America. Yet in spite of the distance, I enjoy this little nugget of truth that she shares today, and I hope you will also check out her weekly podcast.
“Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven’” (John 6:32, NIV). As a missionary, I find this Scripture wonderfully encouraging. Jesus is assuring us that we are not […]
We Don’t Supply the Bread — Feeding On Jesus
Daily devotion
Feeling Lost?
Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths. Psalms 25:4 NKJV
Some days I feel lost, and hemmed in like the children of Israel at the Red Sea. But when I don’t know which way to go in life, then with David I can cry, “Show me your ways O Lord. Teach me Your paths!” Psalm 25:4 NKJV And just as He promises, God listens and directs our path.
When things seem dark and confusing, John tells us that, “The light shines in the darkness and the darkness can never extinguish it.” John 1:5 NLT And God lights up the dark places and comforts our souls, like a child who crawls into bed with mom and dad on a scary night.
And in those moments when we feel like failures and taking the next step seems impossible, Paul shares what Jesus told him, “My strength is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 NKJV God doesn’t only use strong, smart and perfect people. He loves most to work with small, weak and broken people just like us so that He can show us His power, His love and His mercy. Then, He sends us to others to share that knowing and trusting in Him is the only real hope that anyone can have and that no matter what we face that He is enough!
No Such Thing as Bad Ice Cream!
“There’s no such thing as bad ice cream!,” is our friend George’s favorite sayings (and he stays skinny!). George will take chocolate or vanilla, strawberry or peach. Whether it is on a cone a cup or a milkshake, he is ready to sit down and take a moment to enjoy it. I think it would be safe to say that George delights in ice cream. When the writer of today’s verse tells us that he delights in God’s word, I am reminded of George. It makes me realize that no matter the situation that is handed to me this morning, that I can continue to delight in the promises of God. In fact I think we all could agree that, “There is no such thing as a bad promise of God!” Every promise is perfect, pure, eternal and though sometimes hard to swallow, they are always sweet in the end! Has God given you some special promises? Do you have a favorite?
