Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

If you have thought about the horrors of Katrina’s aftermath (now classed by some as the worst disaster since the Civil War), you long for some good news from the word of God. There are many around the world, but especially in America, whose “hearts [are] failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken” (says Jesus in Luke 21:26). No matter what unbelievers may say and how they scoff, the ordinary person who reverences the Bible is solemnized by this most significant disaster in the history of the United States.

 

Yes, there is “good news” from the Lord. If you are one of the hundreds of thousands packed tight in the Astrodome or in other emergency shelters, get a Bible and read Psalm 130, “Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord,...... there is forgiveness with You...... I wait for the Lord,...... more than those who watch for the morning...... Hope in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy.” If you know yourself to be a sinner, cherish that.

 

Read Psalm 23: the world’s heavenly Father invites you to make this your own song. “The Lord is [your] Shepherd, [you] shall not want.” You—having fled from your ruined home, with no foreseeable future—“YOU shall not want”! If you have never before learned to cast your helpless soul on that Savior, do so now. Like a faithful Shepherd, “He leads [you] besides the still waters, He restores [your] soul....... Yea, though [you] walk through the valley of the shadow of death, [you] will fear no evil, for [He] is with [you].” Even what appear to be punishments from Him. “they comfort [you.]” Now the time has come for you to take a leap of faith and believe this precious promise of God, and make this your own confession of faith, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow ME all the days of MY life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” The best good news you’ll ever hear.
