I press toward the goal for the prize

of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus

Philippians 3:14

the subject for today is:

To be pleasing Him

Dear Friends,

How should we be affected by the fact that we believe in, and serve a God who is truth, who is holy, righteous, just, good, and loving? We should seek to lead lives that please Him.

Because God is truth we, as His children, should be truthful. Scripture says, "Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who deal truthfully are His delight" (Prov.12:22). Like God we should love truth and hate falsehood.

Because God is holy we should be holy. The Apostle Peter wrote, "As He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct" (1Pet.1:15-16).  So we are to seek to live a holy life.

Because God is righteous we should be righteous.  We should love anything that draws us closer to Him, and hate all that drives us from Him. The psalmist said, "You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield" (Ps.5:12).  As we learn to love righteousness He will bless us.

In the same way, because God is good and just and loving, we should see those character traits in our own lives. You say, "Well Harry, that's hard."  I know it's hard. I need help, too. I cannot do it on my own either. I too recognize my weakness, I recognize God's power, and I abide in Him.

Each day I seek to do the things that help me grow and flourish spiritually.  And I try to avoid all those things that tear me down or hurt me spiritually.

Do you have a better goal for your life?

I don't think so. May God help us to seek to be holy, to be righteous, to be truthful, and to honor Him in all that we say and do.

Support our Internet Ministry!

Are you every day looking forward to receive "Daily Bread"?  Do you like to browse in the by now tens of thousands WebPages, or do you like the conversations in the forums? Than this is for you !

A big interactive site with over 10 domains, news systems, newsletters, forums, web- polls, etc. pity enough costs a lot of money.

The reason why we although we have to live on social welfare, still do this, is because we are sure that hundreds of people are blessed by what we are doing on the internet. It is not by accident that we had now already over half a million visitors on our sites.

To do this all we are completely depending on God’s grace, and because of your donations we can afford to continue. Therefore we also ask you to see if you could help us to keep this internet activity alive. Thanks in advance for your support!

Incase you like to support financially your donations can be sent to:
