Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

“Who among you fears the Lord [you’re converted, you keep His commandments, etc.]? Who obeys the voice of His Servant [you do everything right, and yet] who walks in darkness and has no light?” (Isa. 50:10). The Lord is merciful to those who should always be smiling and happy but for some painful reason they’re not.

 

This from Isaiah is to the point:

 

(1) “Let him trust in the name of the Lord.” It’s downright sin to doubt the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord! To mistrust Him wounds Him, and the unnecessary suffering that results [yours, and those who know you] makes Him sad. The name of “Jesus” means “Savior,” so to “trust in His name” means to believe He is your Savior from whatever ill you find yourself in. Get on your knees, tell Him, “Thank You, Lord, for saving my soul, for giving me the gift of eternal salvation in Christ! Thank You, Lord Jesus, for already dying my second death on your cross!” You may feel you can’t talk to anyone else about your pain (incidentally, that’s good—they couldn’t be the ones to help you anyway, only the Lord can), but thanking Him for His cross where He went to hell instead of you will clear much darkness out of your soul immediately.

 

(2) “And rely on his God”(same verse; KJV says, “stay” upon Him). He loves to have someone pester Him by “staying” at His gates, “watching daily at My gates, waiting at the posts of My doors” (Prov. 8:34). He will never get impatient and drive you away.

 

(3) Don’t waste time and energy reading psychology books. “Those who encircle themselves with.... sparks [they] have kindled” will find only “torment” (vs. 11).

 

(4) Time’s up; more tomorrow, the Lord willing.
