Manna: 10/10/12

Verse of the Day:Therefore you are great, O Lord God.  For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.    2 Samuel 7:22

In chapter seven of 2 Samuel, God makes a covenant with David.  David is humbled by God's mercy.  He realizes all the many things that God has done for him and for Israel.  More importantly, he acknowledges that he doesn't deserve any of the blessings that God has done for him.  All of it is due solely to God's mercy and grace.  

Pause for a moment today and, like David, acknowledge the many blessings in your life.  No matter how high or how low this day might be, we have a covenant with God that goes with us through it all.  When our day is as sorrowful as we can think, our God is there encouraging us through it.  When our day is as joyful as can be, our God is there keeping us grounded in our morals and ethics.  

Prayer:  Lord God, thank you.....truly, I can't thank you enough for the many blessings you give.  Your blessings keep me going when things get tough, and they keep humble when things are going well.  So, today, Lord, let me just say...Thank You!  Amen
