DAILY READINGS: Gen. 41:1-49; Ps. 18:30-50; Matt . 24:1-28
Cause me to hear Thy loving-kindness in the morning…cause me to know the way in which I should walk. Psalm 143:8
Sometimes we need to ask the Lord to make us hear. Our hearts cangrow cold, our devotions perfunctory. The psalmist asks for a hearing heart, a grateful heart that notes the providences of God which compass our days. Lift ing our voices in gratitude for these evidences of His love and care will engender greater confi dence in Him, a greater trust in His love. In the early hours of this morning, let us also pray, ”Cause me to hear” lest His still small voice be drowned by the clamour of the day, and “Cause me to know” so my soul will be lift ed up, safe in His hands all day. —M. MacMullen
Saviour, while my heart is tender, I would yield that heart to Thee;
All my powers to Thee surrender, Thine and only Thine to be. —J. Burton
