DAILY READINGS: Numbers 4; Proverbs 1; Mark 14:1-26
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitt eth on the right hand of God. Set your aff ection
on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:1, 2
At the Victoria Falls in Zambia, a government offi cial met Fred Stanley
Arnot, the missionary who followed David Livingstone to Africa.
This offi cial later wrote, “I have never seen such a forlorn man!”
Was Arnot lonely, dejected or unhappy? Not at all. Rather he was a
man who no longer fi t into this world’s modern society. He was a
man who was “other-worldly, heavenly-minded”! Does this world
recognise that we have been with Jesus? —David Croudace
Take the world but give me Jesus, let me view His constant smile;
Then throughout my pilgrim journey, light will cheer me all the while.
—Fanny Crosby
