(Friendscast) God’s Mighty Faithfulness (Job 38:4,11; Matt 8:26 27)
Even the Nazis could not stop the annual creation of the “Daily Texts.” During their reign of terror which ended 80 years ago this week, they tried to crush any connection between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Jesus was an Aryan after all, and not a Jew, according to their propaganda. Built every year during the war and even under communism after the war, faithful believers picked the verses for each day of the year, to create the “Daily Texts.” The 1300 verses from the Old Testament were placed in this bowl pictured above in Herrnhut. For a period of several weeks these people prayed to God to give them the verse that He wanted for that particular day. Then a New Testament verse was selected by one of their pastors to complement the Old Testament reading. These texts were eventually sent to the 60 plus countries some of whose books are in the Herrnhut building where this picture was taken. Great is God’s faithfulness who continues to bring hope through His texts to over one million people around the world. “God’s Word is our great heritage and shall be ours forever…to spread its light from age to age shall be our chief endeavor.” Let us keep praying daily for the fruitful expansion of God’s presence through His Word throughout the world.
