Dial Daily Bread


Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

It was 41 years to the day since three civil rights workers were murdered mysteriously in Mississippi. All these long years, justice has been apparently asleep. Then yesterday, a now 80-year-old man was found guilty of masterminding the murders. Many people will quote Numbers 32:23, �Be sure your sin will find you out.� But that�s small comfort to the three who died; they can only await final judgment.

Has the Holy Spirit had something to do with this history? The sight of an old man having to pay for what he did in his 30�s may be overruled by God for the blessing of young people the world around. And it�s been a salutary lesson that the three young people are vindicated who gave their lives for what they believed was a cause of righteousness. And it has also been a blessing that the indignation that stirred the national government over this crime encourages us that God does have servants in
high places.

If you are one of many the world around who have had to suffer injustice unrequited, accept the comfort and encouragement that the Bible gives you. It chronicles the experience of unnumbered hosts who have had to suffer since the murder of Abel, the first martyr (Gen. 4:1-8). One outstanding lesson seems apparent in all the Bible stories: take your case to the Lord in earnest prayer, and then let Him handle it. He says, �Vengeance is mine,...... I will repay� (Rom. 12:19). That takes enormous
self-control, to let the Lord handle it; and you can�t do it unless you receive �the faith of Jesus� (Rev. 14:12). Nobody ever suffered greater injustice! Learn from Him. You don�t have to wait until eternity for redresss; the Holy Spirit comforts you now.
