I think I speak for many with words of appreciation for the Daily Bread, Rus.
Our Daily Bread has been a staple in our family for many years.
May our Lord continue to bless you and yours as you continue this ministy.

The Nature Of The Beast
Read: Galatians 5:16-26
I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. Romans 7:18
Bible In One Year: Genesis 3-5
Years ago we had a pet raccoon named Jason. One minute he would snuggle up on your lap like a perfect angel and the next he'd be engaged in the most fiendish antics. If unrestrained, he would raid the garbage can or tear up the flowerbed. Although he was a delightful pet, we became increasingly aware that his destructive actions were governed by his wild instincts. Jason would always have the nature of a raccoon, and we had to watch him closely no matter how tame he seemed to be.
Often when I observed Jason's behavior, I thought of the sinful nature that we as Christians retain even though we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Paul referred to this as the "flesh" in which "nothing good dwells" (Romans 7:18). It may be restrained, but it's always there. Unless we are daily controlled by the Lord, our old "self" will demonstrate its destructive pleasure-seeking capacity in some way.
Although we are new creatures in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), we still possess the tendency to sin. But we don't need to be governed by it, for we are united to Christ and indwelt by the Holy Spirit. By obeying God's Word and yielding to the Spirit (Romans 8:11), we can be victorious over the fleshthe nature of the beast within. Mart De Haan
Lord, I am learning of Your power
To give me victory each hour;
As I keep walking close to You,
Your Spirit fills with life anew. Hess
The Christian gains victory by starving the old nature and feeding the new.

Ha Rus, that's the second time I've heard that story this morning. My Sunday School Superintendent read that this morning for her devotion. Good lesson. Thanks.

Looks like this place is asleep. Don't know if we can wake anybody up or not. Pippin was here around 4:00. That's been a long time with no posts. I'll scout around and see if I can find anybody. I'll keep checking back here.

Hi, Just got in and settled. Where is everyone?
To: Its_me_K.E.T.
Don't know. Guess it's just a slow night and all are resting up for Monday. I have an appointment in the morning to get my hair cut. I'll ping a few names and see if I can raise anyone. Keep refreshing to keep the thread current.
