DAILY READINGS: Ruth 3-4; Isaiah 43 to 44:5; 2 Corinthians 3 to 4:6
David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage,
and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my
God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until
thou hast fi nished all the work for the service of the house of the
LORD. 1 Chronicles 28:20
When young Solomon was called upon to build the magnifi cent temple
he was given God’s promise, “I will not forsake you until the work
is fi nished.” We, however, have received an eternal promise, “I will
never leave thee nor forsake thee”—now and on into eternity! What
wonderful security we have in our Saviour! —David Croudace
His forever, only His; who the Lord and me shall part?
Ah! with what a rest of bliss, Christ can fi ll the loving heart. —W. Robinson
