TODAY'S OUR DAILY BREAD
Godās Mercies
Less than the least of all Godās mercies.ā This was the motto 17th-century English poet and clergyman George Herbert engraved on his signet ring, and it was the phrase with which he signed his letters and books. Jacob had spoken these words when he pondered Godās goodness despite his own sin and shame: āI am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which You have shown Your servantā (Gen. 32:10).
Reminders
Jill Price has an extraordinary memory that has stunned scientists. In 2006, her overdeveloped memory was described in a scientific journal article, āA Case of Unusual Autobiographical Remembering.ā Price has no special aptitude for memorizing lists of words, numbers, facts, or languages. But she does remember what happened to her on any given day over the last 30 years. Name any date and Price will tell you what day of the week it was, the weather, what she had for breakfast, the TV programs she watched, and the people she spoke with.
Donāt Forget
One of my favorite Far Side cartoons is captioned āSuperman in his later years.ā It shows the elderly Man of Steel perched on a window ledge, ready to leap, as he looks back and says, āNow where was I going?ā
To The Rescue
Martie and I recently traveled to some major cities in several countries. We were struck with how lost our world is and grieved over the millions who have never heard the message of the saving grace of Jesus. The thought of reaching our world for Christ felt overwhelming.
Godās Helpers
I was having a conversation with some children about God and superheroes when Tobias asked a question. An imaginative, curious 5-year-old, he asked anyone listening: āDoes God have a sidekick like Hercules does?ā His wiser, older brother, age 7, quickly responded: āYes, He has thousands of themātheyāre His angels.ā
Is It Well?
As the high school chorale prepared to sing Horatio G. Spaffordās classic hymn, āIt Is Well With My Soul,ā a teen stepped forward to tell the songās familiar history. Spafford wrote the song while on a ship that was near the spot at sea where his four daughters perished.
The Right Information
Our flight had been airborne about 15 minutes when the pilot announced that the aircraft had a serious problem the crew was trying to analyze. A few minutes later, he announced that it was a vibration and that we would have to return to the airport. Then the flight attendants made a series of step-by-step announcements explaining what was going on and what would happen once we were on the ground. In an event that could have been terrifying, the fears of the passengers were relieved because we were given the right information.
What Brings Happiness?
After studying the effect of the post-World War II economic boom in Japan, Richard Easterlin concluded that monetary growth does not always bring more satisfaction. More recently, economists Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers conducted surveys in more than 100 nations and concluded that life satisfaction is highest in the richest countries.
A Mighty Stream
When I was a young teenager, my dad, uncles, cousins, and I went trout fishing at the head waters of the Sacramento River in California. The source of the river is melted snow, so the water was swift, clear, cold, and refreshing. My cousins and I couldnāt resist stepping into the cool current while angling for rainbow trout.
God Is Here
Leslie and her two daughters were about to be evicted from their home. Although Leslie believed that God could help, so far He hadnāt given a clue as to how. She wondered, Where is God? As she drove to the courthouse, she prayed for Godās intervention. Then she heard a song on the radio proclaiming, āGod is here! Let the brokenhearted rejoice.ā Could this be the assurance from God that she was longing to hear?
The Fairest
When I first became a Christian and started attending church at age 19, I immediately fell in love with singing the great hymns of the faith. My heart overflowed with joy and thanksgiving as we sang of Godās love for us in Christ. Soon one of my favorite hymns (from the late 1600s) became āFairest Lord Jesus!ā I love the simplicity of the melody and the awesomeness of the One exalted in these words:
The Country Of Old Age
In the book Another Country, author Mary Pipher met with people in their seventies, eighties, and nineties who were confronting many different life situations.
Strength In Weakness
No one wants to be weak, so we find ways to appear strong. Some of us use the force of our emotions to manipulate people. Others use the force of personality to control people, and some use intellect to intimidate. Although these create an illusion of strength, they are signs of weakness.
Under New Orders
Herman Woukās thrilling World War II novel The Caine Mutiny contains an excellent illustration of what happens when someone becomes a follower of God.
