FOOD FOR THE SOUL

FOOD FOR THE SOUL

The Warehouse advertisement reminds me of My “Top Book This Week”. I have only one top book!

Let me tell you about my Top Book This Week:

The book is supreme.

It has the answer to the questions of life.

Common questions are: “Why was I born? Why did God make me? Why am I here? What is the purpose of life?”

It has also the answer to the questions of death.

Have you ever asked: What is the origin of death? What is the cause of death? Is there a remedy?

Please read the supreme book to find the answers. Study it.

I love reading the supreme book. I endeavor to read it every day and I think I really do.

And my top book this week is not only my top book this week, but also the next week and the week thereafter. The fact is that my top book is my top book all the time.

It is also the top book of many, many people worldwide.

And you cannot compare  my top book with any other book ever written. Why? Because my top book is written by God the Holy Spirit and will never pass away.

My top book is THE BOOK OF BOOKS, the Bible!

“fear less love more”

“fear less love more”

“There is no fear in love – dread does not exist; but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love – is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection.” – First John 5:18 (The Amplified Bible)

 

"fear less love more"

“fear less
love more”

“‘Men’s states vary:

one is without fear and love;

another, with fear without love;

another, with fear and love;

another, without fear with love’

[BENGEL].”

(Jamieson Fausset and Brown – Commentary on the Whole Bible)

COPING WITH STRESS

werner-150x150-e1367980712224“Be thankful. Spend at least five minutes each day focusing on all the things for which you’re grateful, and take time to reflect.”

I am reading that in the magazine called “LUCKY BREAK” (September 9 2013).

That is tip number five nutrition expert Dr Libby Weaver gives to “Control stress levels”.

Coping with stress, “modern-day stress and strain,” seems to be in the news today and for very obvious reasons, and we are looking for ways to control stress levels.

I find it very interesting that “Be thankful” is one of the tips from the nutrition expert.

The BIBLE goes even a step further:

The Bible does not only teach to focus on the things for which we are thankful, but the Bible says to be thankful for everything. And everything means of course everything!

Here are the exact words as you find them in the Bible:

“BE JOYFUL ALWAYS;

PRAY CONTINUALLY;

GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES,

FOR THIS IS GOD’S WILL FOR YOU IN CHRIST JESUS.”

– First Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV)
