Psalm 34:7-8 “The
angel of the Lord camps around those who fear God, and He saves them. Examine and see how good the Lord is. Happy is the person who trusts Him.”
On December 2015, the Memory of Christmas
crisis was seven years ago on Dec. 19, 2008. After reading the crisis news, the
Lord reminded me of how He was always with Tony and me. I wrote this news in
December 22, 2008 for Fresh Manna.
[As
for news, we had no power last Friday, Dec. 19th until Dec. 21, 2008 when we
came home to check the power on late Sunday morning. We stayed at Double Tree
Hotel which is across the lake from our apartment. It was like a special
Christmas date on Saturday night when it got too cold to stay in our apartment
on the second night with no power.
I had the Fresh Manna ready but no power and something urged me to go to Panera. I remembered they had Wi-Fi so we were there on Saturday morning for breakfast. I was able to transfer from document saved to Fresh Manna. Awesome to me, there was a way to do that when power went out.]

O taste and see that
the Lord is good. You are blessed when you trust in God! Maybe you had some
crisis time in the past or recently, but you learn to trust in God in all
things that we don’t always understand. When we trust God, notice something? We
feel good! That is a feeling of God’s blessing on you when we trust in Him! I
am reminded of a . . .
Song, ‘Tis so sweet
to trust in Jesus!
‘Tis so sweet to
trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at
His word.
Just to rest upon His promise,
Just to rest upon His promise,
Just to know “Thus
saith the Lord.”
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him,
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him,
How I’ve proved Him
o’er and o’er.
Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!
Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!
Oh for grace to trust
Him more.

Dorothy: After reading this Manna of 2008 and 2015, now we
enter the year of 2020! I cannot imagine to be without the heater in our old
apartment over the weekend, but I’ve learned the value of trusting the Lord that
He made a way by finding a place to stay. And that memory of Jesus’ presence
was even sweeter while we stayed at the hotel.
This
Manna is just simply a great encouragement of how God works things for good and
how He allowed His presence to be sweeter. It makes me think of a sentence from
a song something like, “Sweeter as the day goes by.” Maybe someday I’ll find it or google it, but
for now I just want to say, thank You, Jesus for being so sweet . . .
May
God bless you!
Dorothy
