DAILY READINGS: 2 Samuel 2; Micah 4:9 to 5:15; Romans 11:1-12
Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule
in judgment. Isaiah 32:1
Thoughout the centuries, many diff erent monarchs have reigned
in many diff erent nations, yet not one of their reigns could be described
as truly righteous. David and Solomon were two great kings
of Israel yet even they were imperfect. The millenial reign of Christ
will be in marked contrast to what has gone before. He will be the
only King of whom it can be said His reign is truly righteous and
perfect. How we long for that day. —John M. Clegg
Jesus shall reign where e’er the sun,
Doth its successive journeys run,
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Til moon shall wax and wane no more. —Isaac Watts
