DAILY READINGS: 2 Kings 2; Jeremiah 35; Hebrews 7
For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded. Isaiah 50:7
An alternate rendering of this verse reads, “The Lord God will help me; therefore I have not suffered myself to be overcome.” What was the Lord’s secret of victory over the pain, suffering and humilation He experienced in His life? He was wakened “morning by morning” (vs. 4) by the Father. What a marvelous way to start the day! We may access the same power “morning by morning” so that we will not allow ourselves to be overcome or shaken. And the result? “I know I shall not be ashamed; for the Lord God will help me.” —M. MacMullen
Early will I seek thee, at the dawning of the day;
With my heart open and still, I will bow my head and pray.—Anon.
