DAILY READINGS: Judges 14-15; Isaiah 34; 1 Corinthians 12
After a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter,
Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech betrayeth thee.
Matthew 26:73
The night at the world’s fi re was cold and dark when an accusing
voice said to Peter, “Thou art one of them; for thy speech betrayeth
thee.” His accent had given him away. That Galilean tone of voice
indicated he was a friend of his Galilean Saviour. Does your language
and mine reveal we are friends of the Saviour? If so, we will
speak in a meaningful and appreciative way about Him. Our speech
will tell others we belong to Christ. —Arnot McIntee
O fill me with Thy fullness, Lord, until my very heart o’er flow
In kindling thought and glowing word, Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.
—Frances R. Havergal
