DAILY?READINGS: 2 Chron. 12-13; Ezekiel 35-36:15; John 13:31-14:14

Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.  Psalm 83:1
Be still, and know that I am God… Psalm 46:10

As the state of the world becomes more hostile toward the people of God, we long for the Lord to make Himself known in all His power and authority. He tells us, “Be still, and know that I am God.” One day Psalm 83:18 will come to pass; “That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.” —Sam Thorpe

This gives us ever to rejoice,
Turning to light our darkest days;
And lifts on high each feeble voice,
While we have breath to pray and praise.
—Isaac Watts
