DCLM Daily Manna 8 March 2022 Outline
“Garbage in, garbage out” is a popular term in computer language. It simply means no one gets something else apart from what they store in the device. But the larger interpretation is the counsel that society must watch what it feeds its citizens. If we do not see the present as the embryo of the future and shape it for healthy growth and maturity, then we should not expect a sound future.
In this Davidic psalm of victory that followed a period of struggles, the writer celebrates his obedience to God, who in return, rewards him by delivering him from his enemies, chiefly Saul. The Lord does not deal with people haphazardly. If you obey His commandment to show mercy to the disadvantaged, then you are certain to receive mercy from Him.
Our relationship with God operates strictly based on our submission to Him and obedience to His word. He will show compassion to those who demonstrate compassion in complete obedience. Not showing mercy to the lost through preaching the love of Christ to them, the shallow believer must not expect the reward reserved for diligent soul-winners.
These all point to the inviolable law of sowing and reaping. One must be careful what one gives to God. He requires that you give Him your all. In return, He releases the inexhaustible resources of heaven to you. Determine to demonstrate God’s love and compassion to others and you will receive same. Sow righteousness, purity and godly living and expect God’s uncommon favour throughout life.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Giving to God returns limitless riches.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 10-12
