Manna | Jan. 26th

  “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”

   Matthew 4:4

   I am grateful to the Lord for raising me in a godly home. I am thankful for parents who served the Lord and for both of my grandparents, who also serve Him. I remember my Granddad would read a devotional called "Our Daily Bread." He not only read it, but he also provided one for each of his siblings every year. He would give them to people he had witnessed to.

    A daily devotional has a way of reminding us of God’s daily plan and provision for our lives. Seeing the date on the devotional and realizing the year is laid out before you brings encouragement. Each day is ordained by God, giving us another opportunity to live for Him and to receive from His hand. New experiences, lessons, and blessings fill our days. Though trials may come and even carry into the night, the dawn brings renewed hope and fresh strength from the Lord.

   Beloved, let us not replace our time in God’s word with a written devotional, but may we use devotionals as a supplement to our study of Scripture. Devotionals can inspire us to learn more about the Lord and encourage us to trust Him, yet our primary nourishment comes from His Word. Just as we cannot live without daily bread physically, we also cannot live without the Bread of Heaven, Christ. Let us receive Him, who was broken for us, and live daily in Christ.

In Christ Alone.
