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!

"Too Close for Comfort!"
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 6:1-6 (NIV)

Of all places to "feel at home," you'd think it would be your hometown, right? Wrong! Jesus, the Blessed Savior, Healer, Encourager, Prince of Peace, was not welcome in His own home town. The home-folk questioned His authority, His wisdom, His miracles. They knew Him only as the "carpenter." And they "took offense."
Notice WHO took offense - the list includes his family, the ones you'd think would be most supportive and proud! Jealousy, edginess, resentment, "whatever," blinded their eyes - and spirits - and the God of Creation could not freely work - "he was amazed at their lack of faith."
Think maybe He made them uncomfortable? Family and friends ever feel uncomfortable in your presence because of your faith? Do not fret when they look at you cross-eyed just because you love and serve Jesus. Ignore the raised eyebrows, the whispeers, the words that hurt - well, you CAN'T ignore them - just give them to Jesus. He knows all about it and will lift you up beyond ignorant, small-minded men. He's "been there/done that" and He knows!
Now believe it, receive it, and you will have a God-approved, choco-rich day!!
