DAILY READINGS: 1 Samuel 15; Isaiah 54; Romans 1:18-32
Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw
itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days
of thy mourning shall be ended. Isaiah 60:20
Days of mourning are inevitable for mankind, even for the Christian.
We mourn because of sin in ourselves, in the church and in the world.
Life’s challenges may also lead to mourning and certainly death (the
last enemy) always does. But the Lord is determined that these days
will be limited. We, too, can say that, “The sun will no more go down,
neither shall the moon withdraw itself, but the Lord shall be our everlasting
light,” as He brings days of mourning to an end. —Roy Hill
There’ll be no grief in heaven, for life is one glad day,
And tears are those of former things, which all have passed away.—Anon.
