1 Corinthians 10:Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. 6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

How ironic this is the word today , as my brother has had several heart attack this morning. We are body, soul and Spirit and his smoking all those years finally destroyed his body and heart. It matters what we eat and drink Spiritually and physically. Psalm 78 is all about 1 Corinthians 10 and is a read for today.

“Psalm 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: 3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. 4 We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. 7That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.,”

Every generation was to pass to the next every word of God. They were to know Jesus was in Exodus 17 in the wilderness to Revelation and Who we belong to. We were to learn from the people in the wilderness and not follow what happened in “1 Corinthians 10:7 And do not become idolaters as were some of them, The people sat down to eat and drink and rose to play.”

It was easy for those in the wilderness to forget Who they belonged to and Jesus had great concerns what would happen after the Cross. Today read all of 1 Corinthians 10 and Psalm 78. Following the Lord was never easy and playing around with it, is serious business. We live in a very toxic and tempting world like smoking. satan has always used people, places and things to help us forget Who our bodies, souls and Spirits belong to.

There was a few in Matthew that knew Jesus was coming and what signs would show them when and what to watch for . Jesus left us much more to know and watch for, to be ready for His coming. My brother survived the night and can have another day to be better prepared to meet His maker. There is only One way to Heaven and we have the instructions how to get there. If you are not ready please take the time to do so.

None of us know when we will have a heart attack , be on a highway at the wrong time like yesterday in Colorado or any number of things that takes our lives. We are to be ready right now , today to meet our Maker...

Thank You Lord for a timely word...
