DAILY READINGS: Gen. 26; Job 32-33; Matt . 13:44 to 14:12
Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. Psalm 45:2
All bare Him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. Luke 4:22a
What is the secret of speaking words that bless the hearers? The Lord Jesus was the perfect example of grace. John says, He was full of grace and truth. Grace was poured into His lips so that when He opened His mouth grace proceeded out! The apostle Paul exhorts us to, “Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.” (Col.4:6) May our words be pleasing to Him today. —Rex Trogdon
Words of life and beauty, teach me faith and duty,
Beautiful words, wonderful words, wonderful words of life. —Philip P. Bliss
