In more than three decades of my Christian life, I have been blest by 2 types of Daily devos'
(matter not exceeding 500 words) in universal Christian literature.
Not only those Devos' which have a different theme everyday but also the ones
which revolve around a certain theme over a period of time, say a fortnight have
richly edified me. In fact, both styles have their own inherent advantages.
If the former style caters to the varying spiritual needs of a christian from day-to-day,
the latter aims 'to ground' a child of God in a certain subject in order he derives the full
benefits of the deep insightful study of a certain topic, spread over a fixed span of time.
In my Daily devo page, I have consciously tried to go in for 'a blend of both the styles'
whereby within a constant theme, I would be aiming to focus on different facets of it which admittedly
is a closer imitation of the 'Constant theme' style than the 'Varying topics' one.
For starters in the first month of January I would be dwelling on the theme of the
"Christian Journey", with the material being arranged in a Book-like format under which the pages
would be opened ( i,e..displayed on-line) on each succeeding day.
So here's wishing you a happy & an edifying read....

Heavenly Manna
…and he rained down on them manna to eat and gave them the grain of heaven.
Man ate of the bread of the angels; he sent them food in abundance. Psalm 78:24-25

Yet another amazing similarity that emerges between the ‘redeemed lot’ of the Old Testament & the New Testament
is the God’s provisions for the journey. If the physical tiresomeness & hunger of the ‘on the move’ Jews was
satiated by an ethereal food, then spiritual exhaustion of a Christian is always taken care of by the renewing
& the re-energizing presence of God’s own Spirit within us
(Eph 3:16). No wonder, our bodies are called His
temple, even as His Spirit indwells us
(I Cor 3:16)! WHAT A PRIVILEGE!

How often, in my walk with the Lord I had apparently reached, the ‘end of the rope’, when I would receive a
timely outpouring of His power on my flagging spirit … to carry on…forward. That would be the experience of
every Christian, worth his ‘walking’ salt.

So, let’s learn to draw richly from His inexhaustible source of love & power,
as we march forward towards our ‘promised land’
(Col 2:7).

Prayer:
Father, tired, as I am, I often turn to Thee in my exhaustion.
Strengthen me in the only way, You can. In Jesus Name.
