DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 15; Proverbs 12; 1 Peter 4

…he that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:7

One day prior to an open-air meeting in which John Wesley was scheduled to preach, a troublemaker secretly determined to pelt him with stones. When the text at the head of this page was announced, the astonished would-be-disrupter dared not throw a rock. God’s Word is powerful (Heb. 4:12-13) and reveals men’s hearts. The only safe course is to believe the Lord Jesus who says “Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else” (Isa. 45:22). —K. R. Keyser

As strangers then to God we lived, filled with enmity and fear;
Our souls from death He has reprieved, love revealed and brought us near.
—G. W. Fraser
