*OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*
_A DAILY DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: WEDNESDAY 7TH AUGUST, 2019*
*TOPIC: THE DINNER LESSON*
*BASIC SCRIPTURES: 1TIMOTHY 4:12; 1CORINTHIANS 13:1-13*
Like a story told by Patricia Butler Dyson years ago, I remember again as I sat with my wife and baby in a restaurant in Johannesburg, South Africa, a man with long hair and an untidy moustache, who slumped on a table near us. It was winter season! And from the look of his bulging overcoat, everything he owned was stuffed in his pockets.
My little baby then (now a big girl), waved at him innocently and he flashed back a smile with his dented teeth. As we sat there wondering if this was one of the notorious Johannesburg ‘area boys’, one of the fellow diners like us, suddenly got up from his table where he too was having dinner with his family, walked over to the man and spoke to him, then went to have a chat with a waitress. Minutes later, a huge plat of dinner surrounded by a mountain of fruits and a mug of fresh coffee arrived at the man’s table. He flashed a smile to his benefactor and immediately began to level out the ‘mountain’ of food.
As this scenario played out, the Holy Ghost whispered to me: *“An Hour-long Sermon On The Theme Of Kindness Could Not Have Been More Eloquent Than This Simple Gesture.”* And what a life-long message! We left that restaurant that night with a passion to pass on that kind of generosity! God is also dropping that message for you today. No matter how 2019 has been, in the midst of your own needs, reach out to this dying and hurting world. Be His legs through your visits/care. Be His voice through your comfort of others! Hear George Gurdjieff again: *“If you help others, you will be helped, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps in one hundred years but you will helped! Nature must pay off the debt… it is a mathematical law and all life is mathematics.”* Read the 1st Basic Scripture again! *ODM is the best gift item for all occasions!*
