DAILY READINGS: 2 Kings 24; Lamentations 4-5; 2 Timothy 1
When the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel
were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one
man to Jerusalem. Ezra 3:1
What a time of joy it is to fellowship with the family of God, whatever
the occasion. In this verse, the people of God gathered themselves
together to revitalize their hearts and their worship to God.
But what is even more noteworthy is the fact that the people came
together “as one man”. Only the att ractiveness of the Lord can ignite
unity like this. May our eyes be upon Him. As a result we will
unite “as one man” to worship and serve Him. —J. D. Fraser
O Lord, unite us now as one, to magnify Your Name;
To praise You for Your faithfulness, eternally the same. —R. E. Cottrill
