Daily Bread – March 7, 2024 (The Fifth Day – Genesis 1:20-23) Psalms 84:11 – For YHWH (Lord) God is a sun and a shield, YHWH gives grace and glory. He will not withhold any good thing from those who walk uprightly. The Manifest Presence Of Jesus Is Our Reward The most important thing is the manifest presence of Jesus in our lives. His presence is brought to us by the Holy Spirit (John 16:13-15; 1 John 3:24). The Holy Spirit has come to help us and to teach us how to increase with the increase of God (Colossians 2:19; 1 Thessalonians 4:10; Ephesians 4:15; 2 Thessalonians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:8,11). As our soul prospers in this relationship with God, there will be an ever increasing realm of faith and manifest presence in our lives (3 John 2; 2 Peter 1:3-4; Ephesians 1:17-18). This is our reward! As the glory of His manifest presence increases in our lives, so will everything else. As a result, we will prosper and be healthy in direct proportion to the prosperity of our souls. We should recognize that God has a fast track for our increase. If we will be obedient, we will have a thirty fold, sixty fold, and even a hundred fold increase in every dimension of our lives – especially in the realms of the Spirit. The Word of God and the Holy Spirit are given to us so we may learn to walk uprightly (Matthew 13:23). Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
