DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
The alchemists flourished in Europe during the Middle Ages, with one of their goals being to discover eternal youth and health. In other words, they sought to eliminate death. They were referred to as engaging in “speculative thought” that bore little link to robust scientific research and deep intellectual exercise. Because of this severe lack of a firm footing in staying reality, the alchemists disappeared into history, unable to achieve their objectives. Their fate could not have been otherwise. They did not look in the right direction for eternal life. They ignored the Bible, God’s word that directs man to Christ, the Author of eternal life and Conqueror of death.
In today’s text, Prophet Isaiah expressed praise to God for wonderful interventions of divine providence on behalf of the Jews including the destruction of their enemies. Beyond the temporal blessings enjoyed by the Jews, Isaiah here points to higher blessings under the gospel era in which God will eventually “swallow up death in victory, and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.” This is the omnipotent Lord who alone can make us triumph over the challenges threatening to destroy us.
Humanity’s hope in the face of grave global economic depression and frightening developments does not lie in relying more on the philosophies of man, which have brought us to this point in the first place. It lies in resting on the promises of the Creator. He is our Refuge against all who have set themselves up to thwart His good plans for the Church and the faithful followers of His Son. With the word of God in our possession, we are assured of a brighter future than in the Medieval period, when man wanted to outwit death without the salvation plan of God.
Christians can reach out to people and let them know God can offer that eternal life. Amid turmoil, He can also give joy and victory to those who believe in Him and His word.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Christ remains the answer to man’s ultimate question.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Judges 18-21
