Today's Lesson from Deuteronomy 8 verse 3:
"He put you through hard times. He made you go hungry. Then he fed you with manna, something neither you nor your parents knew anything about, so you would learn that men and women don’t live by bread only; we live by every word that comes from God’s mouth."
During the height of apartheid Desmond Tutu joked that he was like a man who had fallen off a cliff and was hanging by the limb of a tree. "Help," he yelled, "is there anybody up there?"
There was silence, then the sound of a deep, resonant voice - obviously God's - answered from above. "Yes, my son?"
"Help me," The man yelled up. "I am hanging by a limb."
There was more silence and then the voice again from above, "Let go of the tree my son."
There was yet even more silence now and then the voice of the man below, "Help, is there anyone ELSE up there?"
Nobody likes to fall - especially on hard times. But when we do fall, we discover a supernatural resource we otherwise never would have known.
