Thursday – May 18th – Revelation 3:6     -----     
 
3:6) He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." '
 
The Daily Walk Bible inspirational thought for today:
     THE BEST OF SAINTS HAVE BORNE THE WORST OF SUFFERINGS.*

     Good Thursday to you! A quick programming note for this coming Sunday at SunRise. Back for your eating enjoyment will be the now infamous Bridge Bread Cini-Minis. These delicious delights will be available before and after each of the worship services. If you are interested in ordering from the vast variety offered by Bridge Bread, folks will be able to assist you in placing orders. Bridge Bread is a ministry that trains folks in the profession of baking to prepare them for full-time employment. Thank you for your support!

      In our pick verse today, Jesus concludes his letter to the believers in Sardis by using the now familiar statement “for those with ears let them hear what the Spirit says to the church”. Of course, Jesus is not indicating that there are vast numbers of folks in that church who are without physical ears, but those who have a problem with listening and apply what they hear. Many times, I (we) will already have my mind made up on a particular subject and fail to listen to thoughts, views, or opinions of others. This is becoming more and more apparent in our reading of scripture, where we read what we want to “hear” and ignore what we dislike. Such actions, even if well intended, will one day usher in Jesus’ criticism similar to what the churches in Revelation receive.

Blessings
