Psalm 68:19Blessed by the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.
When we ask God for our daily bread, what do we mean? Is it merely food
to nourish our body? Is it all the basic necessities of life? Does it
include the bread Jesus spoke of: the Word of God? It is all these
things and more. Our heavenly Father wants us to have everything we need
to affirm His image within us. God never calls His children to tasks
they are not ready for, and He will not abandon us without the resources
we need to succeed. Our God provides us with everything we need to be
the best people we can be. Call upon the Lord to load you daily with
benefits. He will do even more than you expect.
Prayer: Lord, I do not even know what I need to be
better than I am today, but in Your wisdom, You see my every need. Give
me what You will, in order that I might be an honor and a glory to You.
Amen.

Psalm 68:5A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy h abitation.
Andy was a saint. It wasn't enough that he had a wife and a large
family to take care of. He chose to adopt every person he met who was in
need. He befriended a young boy in the neighborhood who had no father,
and spent precious time with him. He sought out the widows and single
women on the block and offered to do whatever they needed done around
their houses. He never took payment for what he did. Instead, he shared a
Christlike love and spirit, and served everyone unselfishly.
The Andys of the world are those rare individuals who take seriously
their call to be perfect as God is perfect. They strive to be the best
people they can be, and they do this by exemplifying love and sacrifice.
God gives us the Andys to prove that it can be done. We, too, can walk
in the steps of Christ, if we will only give ourselves totally to God.
It means nothing more than giving to God what He has given to us.
Prayer: I want to walk in Your footsteps, Lord. Help
me to be willing to share with others what I have been given. Teach me
to use my time, my talents, my gifts, and my service to show Your glory.
Amen.
