OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL FOR 29TH SEPTEMBER 2020.

The biography of Rudyard Kipling, like that of any great soul in history, is full of zigzags. He was born in India to a loving set of parents, but his childhood pain began dramatically at the age of six when he was sent to England for his education. His first five years in England were AGONIZING because of the terrible abuse he endured there from his foster mother. After that period, he was transferred to a school in Devon where he began to shine, becoming the editor of the school’s paper and embarking on his path as a writer, and becoming a major success. Like popular “stopovers or dark chapters” in the biography of the great, he was struck by misfortune once more when the bank where he kept his savings collapsed, leaving him penniless.

He moved to America and continued writing and publishing! He again hit a rock-bottom when he became embroiled in a fight with his brother-in-law, which landed him both in court and local paper headlines, forcing his move back to England. Oh! No wonder Barbara De Angelis penned: “We don’t develop courage by being happy every day. We develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.” On a trip to America in 1899, Rudyard Kipling’s daughter, Josephine, died of pneumonia at the age of seven, leaving him heartbroken. The wheel continued to turn however, and in 1907 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his outstanding work. He wrote the popular poem “IF” which we shall consider tomorrow. But the Holy Ghost wants you to know that adversity is a ladder for the great! Isaiah 26: 3 (KJV) says: “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee.” There can be PERFECT PEACE in that STORM because your MIND (the seat of thoughts like depression, self-pity and heaviness, etc), is ON HIM. PUT YOUR MIND ON HIM! The Hebrew puts perfect peace as “PEACE, PEACE!” That means EXCESS PEACE which the world cannot explain! Ana Claudia Antunes wrote: “Life keeps throwing me stones. And I keep finding the diamonds.” No matter what is happening, just keep STAYING YOUR MIND ON Him. You will NEVER end up in shame because THE FIRE OF YOUR ENEMIES WILL DEVOUR THEM (See Vs. 11)! Amen and amen! Pray now.
