Gamiaw New! Daily Blog feature: Our Daily Bread

David Harvey - Director, RBC

"Each of us is certain to experience changes in the coming year that will impact our personal lives. Some may prove beneficial. Others, however, are bound to bring suffering and insecurity.

Amid all these uncertainties, there is good news! Our hope and security in changing times can be anchored in God - the God who is love (1 John 4:8, 16) and whose unfailing love the psalmist David trusted (Ps. 52:8). God himself assures us that he does not change!

God has extended His love to all mankind through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. By his death, we can be made right with him  and know Him personally . If you desire comfort and reassurance in the face of life's changes, we encourage you to faithfully read His words each day along in the daily devotions in this book which is now going to be posted in this blog daily. The scriptures and these devotional thoughts will help you develop an intimate relationship with the God of love and experience the power of his presence in your life on a daily basis. "

ONE BY ONE

Read: Acts 8:26-35

-------------------------------

Philip... preached

Jesus to him. - - Acts 8:35

-------------------------------

Edward Payson was a famous preacher in a bygone era. One stormy Sunday, he had only one person in his audience. Some months later his lone attendee called on him: "I was led to the Savior through that service," he said. "For wherever you talked about sin  and salvation, I glanced around to see to whom you referred, but since there was no one there but me, I had no alternative but to lay every word to my own heart and conscience!"

God saves us one by one. If you have access to one, that is your mission field. "Every soul with Christ is a missionary; every soul without Christ is a mission field," the slogan goes. One person cannot reach the entire world, but we can love our neighbor. "Who is my neighbor?" we ask. The next person we meet along the way.

The spirit brought Philip to the Ethiopian eunuch who was reading the scriptures and needed someone to explain them to him (Acts 8:26-35). The Spirit gave Philip the right words to say, and the eunuch confessed his faith in Christ (v.37).

Ask God to bring you to the one He has prepared. He'll get you to the right place at the right time to speak to that individual. He will speak through your lips, work through your hands and fulfill in you the great purpose of His will. - David Roper

 Father, we've been called to witness -

Called to speak of your dear Son;

Holy Spirit, grant discernment;

Lead us to some seeking one. - D. DeHaan
