DAILY READINGS: Judges 21; Isaiah 40; 1 Corinthians 16
Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful
man who can fi nd? Proverbs 20:6
Where are faithful men? We find them in the Scriptures! They were
nonconformists, brave, bold for God, and farsighted. “Moses, when
he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s
daughter.” Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I will not take any
thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich.”
“Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defi le himself with
the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank.”
God, give us the grace and strength to stand, as these men did, for
Him today! —Robert E. Surgenor
Ye that are men now serve Him, against the numbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger, and strength to strength oppose. —G. Duffield
