DCLM Daily Manna 18th August 2021 Devotional Message:
On November 25, 1895, a cornerstone of ice was laid in Leadville, Colorado, the beginning of the largest ice palace ever built in America. In an effort to bolster the town’s sagging economy, the citizens staged a winter carnival. On New Year’s Day of 1896, the town turned out for the grand opening. The immense palace measured 450 x 320 feet. The towers that flanked the entrance were 90 feet high. Inside was a 16,000-square-foot skating rink. But by the end of March, the palace was melting away along with the hopes of Leadville. The thousands of visitors had spent very little.
Job spoke about the portion of the wicked with God, and the heritage of oppressors. They heap up so much, but it vanishes away and amount to nothing in the light of eternity. They may multiply wives, children and riches and build houses by robbing others, but they die and leave all behind. The terrors of God take hold on them when they are at the apex of their celebrations and they eventually go down to face the wrath and judgment of God. What vanity!

This does not in any way suggest that all who are rich are evil. The problem is about trusting in riches to the extent that one begins to disregard God and His word. People are concentrating on how to achieve their set objectives without including God in their plans. What they end up building is like the biggest ice palace in Leadville which eventually melted down together with the economic expectations and hopes of the town.
There is a void in the human heart that cannot be filled or satisfied with more drinking, smoking, partying and merriments; only God can. Therefore, you must not continue to ignore the inner promptings of the Holy Spirit calling you to repentance and newness of life in Christ.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The emptiness in your life can only be filled by God Himself.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 26-30
