DAILY READINGS: Ezra 6; Daniel 7; Revelation 2:18 to 3:6
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Job 38:31
After reading Psalm 8:8, which speaks of “paths in the sea”, 19th century Matthew Maury was prompted to map out prevailing sea currents and revolutionized trade routes for sailing ships. God revealed to Job that the stars composing Pleiades in the Taurus constellation were bound (we now understand that these are in gravitation lock), while the constellation Orion, composed of stars throughout our galaxy, is expanding. Only God is able to arrange creation and tell us all about it. —W. A. Henderson
For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth over and around us lies;
Christ, of God, to Thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise. —F. S. P.
