LIFE LESSON FOR TODAY, 5/20/14

-










I was reciting the Lord's Prayer Sunday in church.
I used to think that "give us Lord our daily bread",

meant The Lord will give us daily bread/food to eat. 
I read a wonderful book several years ago, called
" Didn't You Read My Book?" by Dr Richard Eby. 






He explained that "The Lord" was the daily bread.  
I was thinking how could this be true?  I understood
what he meant after I read the scriptures below:



LIFE LESSON: 

BREAD (FROM HEAVEN)HAS LITERAL 
MEANING IN THESE SCRIPTURES.THE
BREAD IS  THE  MANNA WHICH WAS 
FED TO THE ISRAELITES WHEN THEY
LEFT EGYPT.

EXODUS 16:4


Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain
bread from heaven for you. And the people shall
go out and gather a certain quota every day, that
I may test them, whether they will walk in My law 
or not.




JOHN 6:49-50

49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.  
50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.


LIFE LESSON: 

BREAD(FROM HEAVEN) HAS A FIGURATIVE
MEANING.  THE  LORD  GAVE US THE TRUE
BREAD FROM HEAVEN:  HIS SON JESUS.  



JOHN 6: 51
 

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven;
but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h
