Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

People around the world continue to ponder what significance the recent
great tsunami may have for us. Was this “natural disaster” just
something that happened, or did either God or Satan have something to
do with it? A subscriber has suggested that these thoughts are
meaningful and relevant:

1. “Satan works through the elements . . . He has studied the secrets
of the laboratories of nature and he uses all his power to control the
elements as far as God allows.” That makes sense for Jesus says Satan
is “the prince of this world,” and Paul says he is “the prince of the
power of the air” (John 14:30; Eph. 2:2). Satan was once the highest
of the angels; he is malevolent in nature (Isa. 14:12-19; Rev.
12:7-12).

2. When Satan was “permitted to afflict Job, how quickly flocks and
herds, servants, houses, children were swept away, . . . as in a
moment.” That is precisely what we read in Job 1, 2. Therefore how
urgently important that we “dwell in the secret place of the Most
High,” and “abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1).

3. None of us has more than a breath between us and our appointment
when we “appear before the judgment seat of Christ” (2 Cor. 5:10). (On
His part, that is not a fault-finding judgment, He wants to vindicate
us! And He will do so if we do not “frustrate His grace,” Gal. 2:21).

4. “It is God who shields His creatures and hedges them in from the
power of the destroyer.” Thank Him for the “hedge” we have today!

5. “But the Christian world have shown contempt for the law of
Jehovah.” He must “withdraw His blessings from the earth and remove His
protecting care from those who are rebelling against His law.” Somehow
He must get that message across to the world.

6. “Satan will . . . bring trouble . . . and lead men to believe that
it is God who is afflicting them.” It is our privilege to proclaim to
the world that His grace abounds “much more” than all the evil Satan
can invent.

7. Pretending to heal, Satan will “bring disease and disaster . . .
These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous”
(Isa. 24:4, 5). Let’s read and memorize Psalm 91; it’s present truth.
