Seed for April 7

Give us this day our daily bread...There is a danger in not relying upon the Lord daily for our supply. The Psalmist put it like this, "feed me with convenient food. Don't give me too little that I steal and dishonor your Name, nor too much that I get fat and forget You." That should be our prayer, Lord give me just enough today to meet my needs. The Bible warns us about laboring to be rich, for there are many hurtful lusts that come upon the rich. We should desire to have enough and enough to share. The Lord is our daily source, He is the Tree of Life. We are to live of Him, and do his will daily in this world. Many people striving to do great things in the Lord, when more can be done when many do His will daily, compared to just one great person. The Lord said to bring the high places down (those things that are lifted up) and the low places up (the lowly in heart and spirit) and make straight (even) the path for our God. There are many high places in the Church, where we elevate men, Popes, preachers, priest, and put down many common ordinary people as insignificant or so called “laity”. Is there a caste system in the Church of “Clergy” and “Laity”? God forbid! But God's way is strikingly different from ours. There is no big "I" and little "you" in the Kingdom of God. Before the coming of the Lord we have to bring the “high places” down and the low places up, and stop the doctrine of the Nicolaitans (Rev 2:15) in the Church. Be blessed.
