Scripture
But Moses told them, "This is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat." (Exodus 16:15)
Man ate the bread of angels, food he sent them in abundance. (Psalm 78:24)
and put on the new self, created in God's way in righteousness and holiness of truth. (Ephesians 4:24)
Jesus answered... "This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent." (John 6:29)
Reflection
Do you believe like Moses in the bread that the LORD has given you to eat.
Do you believe that the bread of angels is sent to you in abundance?
Do you receive the Eucharist and Reconciliation as often as you are able?
What does it mean, put on the new self? How do you become enabled to believe in and be one with Jesus?
I am a dwelling place. I am not alone. In the secret depths of my poor human substance is the presence ofGod. Not a God who is solitary but a God who is Trinity, a God who is love. A God who is Father, a God who isSon, A God who is Holy Spirit. But a God made one by love. And a God whose love enables me to become onewith him: that you may be one as you, Father, are in me, and I am in you, I pray that they may be one in us, thatthe world may believe that you sent me (John 17:21). I believe that no moment exists for man that is more im-portant, more beautiful, more dramatic, more decisive, more radical than the moment when he becomes aware of
or, rather, lives this reality. (Carlo Carretto)1

What Does it Mean to Walk in the Spirit. Written by Pete MillerIf we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit." (Galatians 5:25)
The phrase Walk in the Spirit refers to lifestyle. In Biblical terms, to walk means to conduct oneself in a particular manner; pursue a particular course of life.oncept is introduced in Genesis where it specifically says that "Enoch walked with God" and "Noah walked with God." God revealed and communicated informatem, and they heard His voice and obeyed His instructions. "By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an ince. And he went out, not knowing where he was going."(Hebrews 11:8) God spoke to Abraham, and Abraham heard and literally obeyed His words. Christianarn to walk with God just like the men of God in Bible times. "I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh." (Galatians 5:16)
People are programmed from infancy to walk in and according to "The lust of the flesh," according to their selfish thoughts, desires and feelings. When a persoeives Jesus Christ as Lord and becomes a Christian, the Bible says to learn how to walk in the Spirit, no longer living like unbelievers who do not know the Lord. ans says, "that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind." Ephesians teaches to "walk circumspectly, not as fools, bise."'Circumspectly' means accurately, precisely or exactly. Christians are to learn to walk correctly according to God's revealed Word.
The following are basic principles required to walk in or by the Spirit.
tudy the Word of God."Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashaorrectly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth." (2 Timothy 2:15) (Amplified Bible)ray. Focus on worshiping and praising God, and be ready to pray for people and situations. Paul encourages all Christians to be "praying always with all prayeupplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints."(Ephesians 6:18) "Be anxious for nothing, but in eing by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." (Philippians 4:6)ecome Meek. Meekness is cooperating with God, yielding to His direction and methods. "Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upoce of the earth."(Numbers 12:3 KJV) Deuteronomy says that the Lord knew Moses face to face, and, by revelation, Moses wrote the first five books of the Bbey God. Obedience goes hand in hand with meekness. Do not add to, modify or delete any of what God has said. "Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offe
nd sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of ra ms."(1 Samuel 15:22) Do not argue withompare Jonah with Ananias in Acts 9.o not be deceived by the five senses or feelings. "For we walk by faith, not by sight."(2 Corinthians 5:7) "For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks utward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."(1 Samuel 16:7)
Wait on the Lord. This does not mean to sit around and do nothing. Waiting on the Lord means to keep believing, keep reading or praying. Be patient. Do not jumun, or get ahead of God.
Read God's Word, studying the accounts of God's men and women walking with God. Look for more keys and tips that help to understand how God we will never fail or disappoint His people. Retrieved from http://www.sharefaith.com

Bible Study on the Book of Nahum by Amy Miller
cores of inhabitants of the kingdoms of Canaan fell before the mighty Assyrian Army, including the peo-le of the northern kingdom of Israel. While other kingdoms were merely political pawns, Israel's destruc-ion was due to their incessant rebellion and wickedness that God had tolerated for many generations.
Although God is slow to anger and abounding in mercy, He will not ignore sin forever. Israel's depth ofniquity had reached its peak and God lifted His hand of protection from them as the Assyrians came inrom the east and stormed Samaria's gates. The Assyrians were a tool in the hand of God to bring aboutonsequences on Israel that were due to them. But The Assyrian army went too far in their judgment ofsrael, battering its people far beyond what God had intended. They overstepped their boundaries, and God
was angry.
or the nation of Assyria, evil was not just a passing fancy; itwas their way of life. They embodied the sins that God hateshe most: deceit, theft, pride and no sense of value for humanife. They grew increasingly wealthy by exploiting the nationshey defended and plundering the nations they conquered. They
were a greedy and bloodthirsty empire that soon took over al-most all of the entire known world at that time.
The Assyrians were a brutal nation too. They mercilessly in-aded surrounding nations, burning homes, killing innocenteople, and taking away numerous captives as trophies of their conquests. The Assyrian army took overity after city, continually expanding its territory and increasing in political power. The wealth securedrom the regions they conquered fueled their ongoing military campaigns. They were known for theirloody war tactics and their unstoppable chariots, striking fear in all who stood in their way.
King Sennacherib of Assyria wrote about one occasion: At the command of the god Ashur, the great Lord,rushed upon the enemy like the approach of a hurricane...I put them to rout and turned them back. I trans-
ixed the troops of the enemy with javelins and arrows...I cut their throats like sheep...My prancing steeds,rained to harness, plunged into their welling blood as into a river; the wheels of my battle chariot wereespattered with blood and filth. I filled the plain with corpses of their warriors like herbage. (Wikipedia)
God is a mighty defender and righteous Judge. Unruly nations did not go unpunished and Assyria was noxception. But their judgment was not only based on their abhorrent practices that went against God'saws, but included their abhorrent practices that drove them to both terrorize and destroy Gods choseneople.
The message from the prophet Nahum spoke very clearly that God was going to avenge His enemies. TheAssyrians could not escape the judgment to come. The mighty nation was soon to be completely wipedut, never to rise again.
Unlike other prophetic books before it, the book of Nahum does not include a message of hope for the oneeceiving it. But for the people of Israel, it was a message of life and deliverance. To know that God wasmoving heaven and earth to defend His people, and that their greatest enemy would be crushed broughtreat joy and celebration.
n the next book of the Old Testament, a bold prophet implores God for answers to the evils around him.Habakkuk, moved by love for his people and trust for his God, cries out for God to intervene, to saveudah from destruction and preserve the honorable name of God.

Step Up Revolution
By Adam ShawCatholic News Service
NEW YORK (CNS) -- One adage holds thabest to stick to what you're good at. It's tooscreenwriter Amanda Brody didn't take thavice on board when writing "Step Up Revtion" (Summit).
This fourth installment of the steamy dand romance franchise -- which began 2006's "Step Up" -- continues to showcasekind of top-notch choreography to which who dig fine shindigging have become actomed.
