Monday's Manna

Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
**************
Psalms 90:15  Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.


Can someone be glad in his affliction?

  Romans 8:28-29  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.


God can take our afflictions and use them for our good.  Jacob went through much affliction when he thought he lost Joseph, his son, when in actuality it was God's plan for saving the nation Israel.  Surely Jacob was "glad" when he found out that Joseph was alive and that his life and the lives of his family would be saved.  Affliction can ultimately bring gladness and cause us to learn more of God's statutes.

 Psalms 119:71  It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.


Trusting God in and through affliction can bring true joy and gladness and cause us to know God in a more intimate way.

50 Reasons Why I Love the Lord

I recently had a birthday, but more important is my spiritual birthday.  I am so thankful to be born again. This is my 50th year in the Lord!  To think that the Lord saved me and keeps me is beyond my comprehension!  I am so filled with awe and gratitude to my Lord!  Since this is my 50th year to be saved,  I wrote down 50 reasons why I love Him.  It was not a hard task.  There are so many reasons to love the Lord.  I cannot think of one reason why the Lord would want to love me, but I am so thankful that He does.  He only is our HOPE. I have been so overwhelmed with the Lord's love for me that I felt like I needed to share it with others.  If you don't know the Lord, please don't delay.  You will never regret His love for you. He first loved me. He sent His only begotten son to die in my place. He forgives all my sin He saved me by His shed blood He has never left nor forsaken me. He is ever merciful and His mercies are new every morning. He gives grace
