Psalm 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
We have been talking about the issues of our daily salvation and yesterday we spoke of abiding in Christ. These daily benefits afforded to us by the God of our salvation, our daily salvation, how do we access these benefits?
When Jesus taught us how to pray He included “give us this day our daily bread”. There is a devotional called The Daily Bread. It is not unlike this devotional in intent and design. It is a breakfast snack. It is a little spiritual nourishment to jump start your spiritual day. Do you think this is what Jesus meant in the Lord’s prayer?
John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Never hunger, never thirst; never does not sound like a snack. These devotionals were never meant to become a meal, they are meant to stir up an appetite for the abiding presence of Jesus Chris within you. Give me more of You Lord Jesus. All your fullness I have received, show me more of You.
Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
John 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
2 Corinthians 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
Abiding in your heart, a living epistle.
Such a lovely meditation, Larry. Sweet thoughts to begin the day. Thanks.
