Journal

How is this for a God moment? I reading my Bible outside this afternoon and began with the following passage. Jeremiah 30:1-3 (NLT)
1 The Lord gave another message to Jeremiah. He said, 2 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Write down for the record everything I have said to you, Jeremiah. 3 For the time is coming when I will restore the fortunes of my people of Israel and Judah. I will bring them home to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and they will possess it again. I, the Lord, have spoken!”

I then continued reading and meditating on the next 2 pages. At the end of it my wife came out and we had a chat. I noticed in the clouds what looked like a clear letter “O” ...in front of it was a “J” ..Finally we realized it spelled out “Journal”. The “u” and “a” were not as distinct as the other letters but they were there. The letters were seen in a bank of cloud to the east. The letters were spaces of blue sky in the cloud itself. I had never seen letters in the sky so clearly formed.

When my wife left, it struck me that my reading had began with God asking Jeremiah to “Write down for the record everything I have said to you”. He was asking Jeremiah to Journal. I have been keeping a journal on the computer of many of the things God has been speaking to me. I am going to be more diligent now.

Is yesterday’s manna good for today?

Here is a post on the Junction J Christian website by yolies51 http://www.junctionjcommunity.com/ . I reckon that there is some deep treasure here worth thinking about.

“I was listening to some lady speak on manna this morning and this thought occurred to me Is yesterdays manna good for today? I would say that it is not. The Israelites daily collected the manna for the day and the bible says that it supplied all of their needs and was satisfying for the day. In the Lords prayer, Jesus taught the prayer in which he also said give us this day our daily bread ... This is a daily thing. Everyday is different and everyday we need fresh manna to sustain us through the day. Some are turbulent days and others are not, but each day can be satisfying if we seek the fresh bread daily. I think that this is what is going to sustain us in our daily walk with God and overcoming all obstacles.” By yolies51

I really enjoyed this blog post and it stirred something within me. Too often I live with yesterday’s miracle, yesterday’s provision, and yesterday’s Word from God. Manna is for each day...Get yours today.... Bob Lipsys, Australia
