Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

Only a priest or bishop can touch the bread of the Lord’s Supper.  Common worshipers are not allowed to touch it with their hands because it is so holy.  The priest or bishop has to set the bread on the tongue of the worshiper.

Matthew 26:26  –  Acts 20:4-8

Fact of the Day

No! Jesus handed the bread to his apostles and told them to break off a piece to eat.    He did not break it off for them nor did he set it on their tongues.  He just handed it to them. Further, years after Jesus died, a group of Christians met together on the first day of the week “to break bread”.  (In Greek “met” was a religious meeting.) They broke off their own pieces of bread to eat during their Sunday religious meeting.

Wednesday 4/11 ~ Has God given you an assignment?

On By In blessings, discouragement, family, Inspirational, powerLeave a comment

The scripture for today, April 11 (4/11), is Exodus 4:11 as found in the Old Testament of the Bible:

0-Mefiboset-KINDLE Thumbnail“Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the Lord?”

This is a dynamic verse, for it helps answer the question: “If God is so good, why did he allow me/my relative to become deaf/blind?”

Here is the answer.  Satan is the prince of this world.  So, God takes countermeasures to defeat him.  Everything Satan does God can undo.  But he does it in his own way.  He does it through us.

God gives each of us an assignment. We all have something God wants us to overcome. Why?  Because it makes us spiritually stronger. It is intended to turn us into spiritual giants. Wow!

His assignment may be the family we were born in to, the country we were born in, an earthquake, a flood, an unfair professor, a mean boss.  Amidst our tears, as we face sometimes unbearable assignments, the challenge is for us to carry on with the smile of faith on our lips.

Paul said in 2nd Corinthians 12:10, “For Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses…For when I am weak, then I am strong!” If God did not believe you or your relative or friend could handle your affliction, he would not allow you to have it.

It’s almost as if the more affliction you have, the more faith God has in you. After all, 2nd Corinthians 6:1 says we are workers together with God.

Has God given you a tough assignment? What a privilege!
