Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 3 October 2022

 Every Issue

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” (1 Timothy 6:10)

 

Today’s Morsel: I have come to realize that every issue has a root cause. Solomon says that the cause of strife is pride (Proverbs 28:25). James says that lust is the cause of war and fighting “From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts(James 4:1-3). And Paul said where perversion, unholiness, and corruption are, the root is that when they knew God they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful (Romans 1:21)  Headaches, pain, suffering, backsliding, hate, prejudice, backache, every issue has a root cause. Medical, ministers, and education professionals are studying day in and day out trying to find the root cause to try to help solve the issue. Even salvation, joy, peace, and eternal life, all have a root cause, and we have already found the answer and it is Jesus Christ. Therefore, that part of your life should be complete without searching for its cause.  Jesus is the answer for the world!

 

Sing: At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light and the burden of my heart rolled away, rolled away.  It was there by faith I received my sight and now I am happy all the day.

 

Thought For Today:  Always be thankful.
