          OUR DAILY BREAD                     Saturday, January 29, 1994
          ----------------
          READ:  Psalm 139:1-18

                                  LIFETIME WARRANTY

                             I will praise You, for I am
                           fearfully and wonderfully made.
                                   --Psalm 139:14

          Buying  a new car is a major investment.  We want to be  sure  we
          are  getting our money's worth.  We also want to be certain  that
          the  vehicle  won't cause us trouble.  So we carefully  file  the
          manufacturer's warranty, confident that if something doesn't work
          right  we can take our car back to the dealer.  Not only  are  we
          sure  they have trained people who can troubleshoot  the  problem
          and  fix  it,  but  we know  they  have  all  the  manufacturer's
          specifications and the parts that may be needed.

          When  we  run into difficulties in life and aren't  able  to  get
          things  working  righr, where can we turn for  help>  Doesn't  it
          make  sense  that  the One who made us is  totally  qualified  to
          supply the indispensable help we need?  The psalmist David  found
          grate  comfort  in this fact.  He wrote, "You  formed  by  inward
          parts;  You covered me in my mother's womb.  I will  praise  You,
          for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works
          ... How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!  How  great
          is the sum of them!"  (Ps. 139:13-14, 17).

          God's help is as available today as it was then.  And who is more
          qualified to know what we need than the One who made us!

          Author:  Vernon C. Grounds

                            All that I am I owe to Thee,
                         Thy wisdom, Lord, has fashioned me;
                          I give my Maker thankful praise,
                         Whose wondrous works my soul amaze.
                                       Psalter

          THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
          ---------------------
          God's warranty:  You're covered for a lifetime.
