Today’s Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:4 NLT: and all of them drank the same spiritual water. For they drank from the spiritual rock that traveled with them, and that rock was Christ.
Christ is with us wherever we go. Paul was reminding the Corinthians that those who had wandered in the desert all ate the same miraculous food and drank the same miraculous water. Many also chose the same evils we face today.
No matter where we are or where we are traveling our spiritual source is Christ. You and I have His spiritual food and water today. He may be disguised to us but He is here. He is our rock.
Paul was telling this story as a warning to us to crave Christ and not evil. We are only to worship Him. These examples were given to us. We are to follow Christ and look to Him in our travels. We must be very careful of temptations. Our God is faithful and will show us the way to Christ, our rock.
Are you more focused on Christ or the way?
Today’s Prayer: Father God, thank You for Christ, my rock who provides. Please keep me in Your faithfulness. Grant me the discipline and self-control needed to walk with Christ. Help me to be careful to only seek spiritual food and water from Christ, my rock. Show me the way LORD. Amen

Affirmations of God
Through many dangerous toils and snares I have already come, and today looking in the physical I see no hope. Everything in my world Is under attack, but I refuse to believe what I see physically. I’m a spiritual being in a clay shell that has all my faith in Jesus. God said if I have the faith as a grain of mustard seed I can say to that mountain be though removed and cast into the sea and it shall be moved. So Be It. On Christ the solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand.
I Believe!
