"She's a TEEN - - FEED HER!!"

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

Daily Manna's Bible reading - Mark 5:39-43 (NIV)

If you've ever had a teenager living in your home, you know teens can eat you OUT of house and home....surely they could eat in their sleep - but dead? No way...and so this 12-year-old "pre-teen," about to burst into adolescence with its cell phones, iPODS, Nintendo games, designer jeans and the like, was just plain DEAD. Not a breath to talk on the phone or say, "Hey, Mom, what's for dinner?" or "Mom, I don't have a THING to wear..." A typical teen - but now dead, really dead....

And what to do? Call Jesus - when you've got a teen you "call Jesus" more than once! To the people's scornful remarks, He declares her not "dead" but "asleep." Now any parent knows when their kid is sleeping when they should be doing chores.....and no way was she asleep - she was dead!

NOT in the Savior's eyes....He simply told her, "Get up," and she did - this time to the amazement of the family....and then, He said the clincher - in the ears of the teenager - "Give her SOMETHING TO EAT!" Words of immeasurable worth to a teen once dead, now alive and starving!

Oh, the compassion of our Lord, not just for us, but for our families, some kids or even a parent so spiritually dead. If you have a teenager, take heart....Jesus knows all about it; He's concerned and He's going to take good care of that teen of yours who belongs to HIM too......Believe that; claim His salvation, protection, health and perfect Will for your kids - HE loves them too!!

Believe that, receive it - now go feed your kids - and you will have a God-filled, challenging, choco-rich day!!
