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

Hands
“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.” Hebrews 12:5b-6 ESV Hands aren’t just made for spanking Or for pulling on our ears They’re also made for holding ours And drying all our tears They pick us up when we fall down And hold us up us in prayer At night they tuck us in to sleep And gently stroke our hair But the hands I love the most Were nailed to the cross Where Jesus took away my sins So I would not be lost!

No Compromise
For exaltation comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south. But God is the Judge: He puts down one, And exalts another.
Psalms 75:6-7 NKJV
As the Psalm writer, Asaph looked to the East he would see the fearful nation of Assyria (and later Babylon). To the West were arrayed the Philistines, who were a current enemy, striking without warning any village they wished along the border. Last of all to the South, Egypt’s empire, their past slave master, still held half of the world in its grip.
Though the names have changed, the fears and challenges of future fears, present threats and past enemies remain. Our human tendency is to try for alliance with one of these in the vain hope they will allow us a moment of tranquility. But the only safety and real true peace comes from the Lord. Just as when Asaph the chief worship leader, prayed in the temple, and understood who was really in charge of his protection and promotion, we can do the same. Only God is greater and our deliverance comes from commitment to Him, not compromise with our enemies!
