Suggested Bible Reading

The LORD spoke to Moses and said, "I have heard the complaining of the Israelites; say to them, 'At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread; then you shall know that I am the LORD your God.'" In the evening quails came up and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp. When the layer of dew lifted, there on the surface of the wilderness was a fine flaky substance, as fine as frost on the ground. When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, "It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat. This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Gather as much of it as each of you needs, an omer to a person according to the number of persons, all providing for those in their own tents.'" The Israelites did so, some gathering more, some less. But when they measured it with an omer, those who gathered much had nothing over, and those who gathered little had no shortage; they gathered as much as each of them needed.-

Today's Scripture
My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.-Philippians 4:19 (KJV)


WHEN I met my friend Jan many years ago, she was one of the nicest people I had met, but she didn't know Jesus Christ. One of the blessings in my life has been watching the transformation that has taken place since Jan came to know Christ as her personal Savior. One of the tools she has used to help her grow as a Christian is The Upper Room. Our standing joke is to say that each daily meditation was written with us in mind: "I don't know what your Upper Room said today, but mine definitely was written just for me." Recently, on my birthday, I had the last laugh because the Prayer Focus was for "those celebrating a birthday today."Although Jan and I joke about it, the truth is that God does know what each of us needs for each day. God can and does speak to each of our hearts through the words we read, the smile of a stranger, a call from a friend, and many other encounters that help us with individual needs and problems. We need only be open to the Holy Spirit and aware of the "coincidences" that take place in our daily lives to hear God speak to us or see God's hand at work.
