Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...wherever in the world you live! I hear you're a chocoholic too - I won't tell a soul! Chocolate is good for the body - and God's Word is good for the soul: "O taste and see that the Lord is good...(Psalm 34:8 KJV)." So please join me for a few moments of fun, food and inspiration - it's all calorie-free (believe that and I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge) and might even make your day!

Bible Byte 'n Chocolate Chew for Today

"Knowing the God of the Stars!"

NOTE: You may need to access this search page to access the Scripture reading below. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Daily Manna's Bible reading: Galatians 3:5-9 (NIV)

Ever stub your toe--and see stars? Or--hammer your thumb instead of the nail--and you'll see stars too! That's not the kind of stars I'm talking about! Go outside on a clear night and look up...see God's beautiful handwork; gaze into His heavens and praise His Name--now start counting...

Like Abraham! God took this childless, old man, out under the stars one night. "Look up, Abraham!" He said. "Now count the stars. Your descendants will be as innnumberable as those stars you're trying to count!" Unbelievable! Impossible! And yet God said it--a God who loves to say the unbelievable and do the impossible! Abraham believed--it was "counted to him for righteousness"--and it came to pass!

The God of the stars is still around. He is still telling us to look up! Look down and you'll see mud; look around and you'll see misery; look within and you'll see "me"--and sometimes that's not too pretty either! BUT--look up--and see Him, the God of the stars, and know He will not forsake you; He will be true to His promise--He's there!

Amy Carmichael, in her devotional writings, penned these words, "I am the God of the Stars. Lift up your eyes and see - as far as mortal may Into eternity - and stay your heart on Me." Do that--and you will have a wonderful, choco-rich day!

"Lord, sometimes the clouds obscure my vision; earthy pollution fogs up my sight and clearly I do not see. Help me look beyond those clouds and through that fog to know You are there--even when I cannot see; You are the God of the stars--and the God of my life--I trust You, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
