In one of my German DEVOTIONAL TREASURIES the author is thinking and writing in his preface about the readers of his book.
He is imagining that some of them will be mature followers of the Lord Jesus Christ and that they will be able to know the difference between “STONES” and the “BREAD OF LIFE.”
I don’t know if I can call myself a mature follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, but I think I know the difference between “STONES” and the “BREAD OF LIFE.”
I have many DEVOTIONAL TREASURIES (Daily Readings), but my favourite is RENEWED DAY BY DAY by A. W. Tozer.
This is what I read today and what really encouraged me:
“Too many people consider Jesus Christ a ‘convenience.’ We make him a lifeboat to get us to shore, a guide to find us when we are lost. We reduce him simply to a Big Friend to help us when we are are in trouble.
