Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 4 December 2021

 Keep Living


The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” 

(John 10:10)

 

Today’s Morsel:  One of the most essential things that we must learn in life is how to live. Loss doesn’t mean that you can’t live. I’ve seen people go into depression and lowliness because of loss. Jesus said that He came to give us life and that more abundantly. An abundant life is not a hopeless life.  An abundant life is a joy-filled life.  A life of service and commitment to live your dreams, goals, and visions.  A life to bring about edification to others.  As Paul states, What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)  Sure, life will have its ups and downs, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t live.  Again, Paul informs us, “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.” (1 Corinthians 15:19)  There is more ahead of us.  We are going to someday dance on those streets of heaven.  But if our hope is only on the here and now, we are going to be miserable and miss out on life.  What could you discover about yourself and what legacy could you leave if you would just live?

 

Sing:  I found a new way of living, I found a new life divine.  I have the fruit of the spirit, I am abiding, abiding, in the vine.  Abiding in the vine, abiding in the vine, love, joy, health, peace, He has made them mine.  I have prosperity, power, and victory.  I am abiding, abiding in the vine.
