Our story for today's sermon can from Exodus. God had freed his people from Egypt, and they were whining because they were hungry. God brought manna and quail for the people to feast on day by day. As he was trying to teach them a very important lesson, they were only to gather enough for each and every day.
Daily dependence on God. I love our pastor. He's young, and it's so obvious that he truly preaches from his heart. It's also obvious that God is with him. The heart of today's message is that faith does not keep. It spoils. You need a fresh batch each and every day. It's not enough to have one hallaluhah moment every six weeks or so. Daily faith builds us up, helps us become more like Christ and deepens our very relationship with our own creator.
Wow. God wants me to walk with him every single day. He doesn't need his own space, and he never tires of spending time with any of us. That's amazing.
I think the key to faith is the Bible. You can talk to God and pray as much as you want, and those are both solid things to do. But, without a regular dose of God's word, you are not going to get a ton out of that experience. God wants to meet with us through his word. Study it for a week and see if I'm right. Just one week. Every single day. Meet with the creator.
