Eat The Bread of Suffering

December 05, 2020

From today’s reading…

When the Lord has given you the bread of suffering and the water of distress, he who is your teacher will hide no longer, and you will see your teacher with your own eyes.” Isaiah 30:20

Do you know why we must experience suffering and distress? Because of sin, which makes us vain, arrogant, lazy, know-it-alls.

All loving parents want what’s best for their children. We don’t want them to fall or skin their knees or burn their hands on the stove or get a low score on a test. But most lessons in life must be learned the hard way because of sin.

But God loved us enough to send His only Son to show us the way.

To show us how to bear any cross, how to shoulder any burden. To show us the path the redemption when we fail to…

Stay the course.Keep the faith.Endure.

Now go sell something.
