Words of the Past

As I have stated before, I love reading old Daily Bread booklets. My Mother loved to listen to Back to the Bible broadcasts and applying their teaching to her life. We also should be listening to words of wisdom found in God's word.
Here is and old Daily Bread page from January 1994, hope you enjoy and a Happy New Year everyone!

Buying a new car is a major investment. We want to be sure we are getting our money’s worth. We also want to be certain that the vehicle won’t cause us trouble. So we carefully file the manufacturer’s warranty, confident that if something doesn't work right we can take our car back to the dealer. Not only are we sure they have trained people who can troubleshoot the problem and fix it, but we know they have all the manufacturer’s specifications and the parts that may be needed.

When we run into difficulties in life and aren't able to get things working right, where can we turn for help? Doesn't it make sense that the One who made us is totally qualified to supply the indispensable help we need? The psalmist David found great comfort in this fact. He wrote, “You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works . . . . How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!” (Ps. 139:13-14,17).

God’s help is as available today as it was then. And who is more qualified to know what we need than the One who made us!

All that I am I owe to Thee,
Thy wisdom, Lord, has fashioned me;
I give my Maker thankful praise,
Whose wondrous works my soul amaze. —Psalter

God’s warranty: You’re covered for a lifetime.

Bible Verses for Today!

Romans 8
King James Version (KJV)
8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

DECEMBER

December is my favorite month, it ushers in winter and brings the sounds of Christmas, which are laughter and songs of joy and peace unto men. We see Christmas programs at the local churches and in schools and the excitement in the children’s eyes as the 25 of December draws nearer. December usually brings the first good fall of snow and cold weather causing the drinking of hot chocolate and marshmallows floating on top, my favorite brew. Yes, December with the sounds of Christmas in the air and warm smiles seen on faces everywhere, my favorite month, I do declare, DECEMBER!
