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: "The Searching Savior!"

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

Daily Manna's Bible reading - Psalm 139:1-8 (NIV) . . . Visit Bible Gateway every day!

Once upon a time there was a very little boy who loved toys. He and his mommy went to a very big toy store with many aisles and many toys. They were not alone--for lots of other kids and mommies were doing the same thing! Only THOSE little kids were holding tight to Mommy's hand....and THIS little kid wasn't!

It took only a few seconds and suddenly there is a lost little boy and a very scared mommy in the very big toy store. Darting in and out of aisles and up and down the store, the mommy looked for her little boy....in panic, she reported the lost child to the Service Desk and soon a pager called, "Will Jason Bohanon please come to the front of the store to meet his mother?" A scared little boy and a very relieved mommy soon connected...the lost was found!

Now there may have been 99 other kids and mommies in that toy store, but THIS mommy was only looking for one--HER kid! And that's what GOD does...He takes very special care of HIS kids - only He doesn't search Toys 'r Us or the mall - He search the depths of our hearts.

He KNOWS you by name. He knows when your hopes are high or low, when your dreams soar or smash, when your heart breaks or sings. He knows--He's the searching Savior who looks far beyond what others see and searches the intent and the content of your heart THIS day.

Open your heart wide to His all-seeing, all-searching eye. He beholds you with love and compassion and waits to meet your every need THIS DAY. Believe it, receive it, and have a God-filled, heart-filled, choco-rich day!
