FOOD IN THE CUPBOARD

READ:

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
-Matthew 6:25

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Genesis 36-38
Matthew 10:21-42

My friend Marcia, the director of the Jamaica Christian School for the Deaf, recently illustrated an important way to look at things. In a newsletter article she titled "A Blessed Start", she pointed out that for the first time in 7 years, the school began the new year with a surplus. And what was that surplus? A thousand dollars in the bank? No. Enough school supplies for the year? No. It was simply this: A month's supply of food in the cupboard.
When you are in charge of feeding 30 hungry kids on a shoestring budget, that's big! She accompanied her note with this verse from 1 Chronicles 16:34, "Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever."
Year after year, Marcia trusts God to provide for the children and staff at her school. She never has much - whether it's water or food or school supplies. Yet she is always grateful for what God sends, and she is faithful to believe that He will continue to provide.
As we begin a new year, do we have faith in God's provision? To do so is to take our Saviour at His Word when He said: "Do not worry about your lifeDo not worry about tomorrow" (Matthew 6:25, 34). - Dave Branon
I don't worry o'er the future,
For I know what Jesus said,
And today I'll walk beside Him,
For He knows what is ahead. - Stamphill

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength. Corrie ten Boom

NEW LIFE IN CHRIST

There is a nature that is of the Earth and there is a nature that is of Heaven. Since the fall of man, the earthly nature of man has become corrupted and therefore is greatly under the influence of the kingdom of Satan. Characteristic features of this nature are: wickedness, moral perversion - sodomy and all sorts of...More
