DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 19:1-21; Jeremiah 31:1-40; Hebrews 2:1-18

Gather the people together, men and women, and children…that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and observe to do all the words of this law: And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 31:12-13

What valuable instruction these verses give us today! Notice the objective given for men, women, and especially children who are unlearned—to be gathered under the sound of God’s Word. First, that they may hear, then learn, then fear (or reverence) and ultimately obey the Lord. Never underestimate the power of God’s Word to impact and change lives, especially those of our children! —E. V.

O Light of our dark sky: we praise You for the radiance,
That from the Scripture’s page, shines on from age to age. —W. How
