DAILY READINGS: Joshua 10; Isaiah 7 to 8:4; Luke 23:47 to 24:12
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be
glad in it. Psalms 118:24
Today many people fi nd free time a rare commodity. They are burdened
with work duties, household chores, and even spiritual responsibilities.
They have litt le time for rest. What the Lord said in
His day seems to be ever so true in our day, “Come aside into a
desert place, and rest awhile” (Mk. 6:31). The Lord’s day is a special
day that He has made for us to quiet our hearts, to remember Him,
and to rejoice in Him. What a joy to come aside into His presence
today and to be glad in our Saviour. —K. C. Ung
This is the day the Lord hath made; He calls the hours His own;
Let Heav’n rejoice, let earth be glad, and praise surround the throne.—Watts
