“I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also” (2 Timothy 1:5).
There is a story of four ministers who were discussing various Bible versions and which ones they liked best.
One liked the King James Version because of its eloquent literary style.
Another one preferred the Revised Version of 1881 because it provided the most literal translation of Hebrew and Greek.
The third minister felt that the New King James Version was the most readable and easiest to understand of all.
But the fourth minister didn’t say a thing.
Finally, one of them asked for his opinion on which version of the Bible he liked best.
The man replied, “I like my mother’s translation the best.”
The others were shocked by his answer, and one of them asked, “Did your mother translate the Bible into her own version?”
“Yes, sort of,” the man replied. “She translated it into her life, and it was the most convincing version I’ve ever seen.”
If you are a believer, people are watching your life.
And quite frankly, your life is the only Bible some people will ever read!
In order for our lives to serve as godly examples for others-
– you and I must act out God’s Word every single day.
You can be certain that-
– your children, grandchildren, friends, co-workers, and neighbours are watching how you live your life as a Christian.
Are you a living example of God’s Word to those around you?
Pray that your life would be a living example of God’s Word-
– so that you can point others to salvation by faith in Jesus Christ.
Ask the Lord to direct your words and actions so you can be a godly influence—no matter the circumstance.

“And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it” (Psalms 90:17).
Charles William Eliot, former president of Harvard University-
– had a birthmark on his face that bothered him greatly.
As a young man, he was told that surgeons could do nothing to remove it.
Someone described that moment as “the dark hour of his soul.”
Eliot’s mother gave him this helpful advice:
“My son, it is not possible for you to get rid of that hardship…
But it is possible for you, with God’s help, to grow a mind and soul so big that people will forget to look at your face.”
It’s true!
All of us have things we’d love to change about our bodies.
And many of us tend to spend an awful lot of time and money trying to change, fix and cover those things up.
When we are shining for the Lord-
I don’t believe anyone sees them!
Do you really want to make a drastic difference in your appearance today?
Let’s stop focusing on our outward issues today,
– and start focusing on what really counts,
– walking uprightly and wholeheartedly with the Lord
– a spiritual extreme makeover!
We will glow like never before!

The real deal! https://mymanna.org/the-real-deal/ Fri, 04 Sep 2015 16:00:13 +0000 http://mymannaonline.com/?p=1210 “Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you” (Matthew 5:11-12).
An ancient story is told of the Queen of Sheba.
She sent two wreaths of roses to Solomon, one real and one artificial, to test his reputed wisdom.
She defied him to detect the genuine from the artificial.
Solomon at once directed that some bees be brought into the room and of course-
– they immediately flew to the real flowers and thought nothing of the counterfeit.
So it is with us as believers!
When we find ourselves overwhelmed, surrounded, being attacked from every side with the bees of revile and persecution-
– it simply means they recognize that we are the real deal!
Our beautiful aroma attracts those scary bees!
But our Lord has overcome the ‘bees’.
Oh bee where is your sting?
Rejoice when the bees come around!
Don’t lose heart!
God has the victory!
