DAILY READINGS: Esther 1; Zechariah 11; Revelation 18
As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. 2 Cor. 6:10
“I thank God for what He has allowed in my life,” said John who was interpreting my message from English into Portuguese. What had God done for him? As a child he lost an eye when he contracted measles! While still a young boy, a cobra reared up in front of him, spat in his good eye and left him completely blind. In spite of such a calamity John became a teacher, even teaching sighted children. But more than that, he was gloriously saved, and is a wonderful witness for Christ, as he daily rejoices in the Lord. —David Croudace
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done. —J. Oatman
