Manna for Your Morning

Just as Death and Destruction are never satisfied,  so human desire is never satisfied. — Proverbs 27:20 (NLT) Now that the anticipation and excitement of Christmas Day 2013 has come and gone, we may look back and say, “if only...” The natural inclination of human desire is to want more. Let us be thankful and appreciative for the time we shared, the gifts that were exchanged, etc. In Philippians 4:11, the Apostle Paul says, he learned to be content in whatever state. May we do likewise.

The believers had a single purpose and went to the temple every day. They were joyful and humble as they ate at each other’s homes and shared their food. At the same time, they praised God and had the good will of all the people. Every day the Lord saved people, and they were added to the group. — Acts 2:46-47 (GW) Amazing things happen when God's people come together in one accord. In Acts 2, the believers were devoted to studying the Word daily, fellowship, to the breaking of bread, to prayer and to praising God. As a result, miraculous signs took place, they were full of joy, generous and humble. The Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved. People liked what they saw and wanted to be a part. When the world sees the church loving God and really caring about each other, they will want to be a member of God's family.
