DAILY READINGS: Gen. 6 to 7:10; Job 8; Matt. 5:1-20
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried
about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and
cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive. Eph. 4:14
In Alnick Castle gardens, in Northumberland, is a large stone
shaped like a fish. It bears the inscription “Only dead fish swim with
the stream”. How easy it is today to be tossed about by opinions and
dragged into ways which are not God honouring. We need to stand
our ground for God; swim against the stream; show ourselves alive
unto Him and willing to fight the good fight. —Brian Powlesland
Firmly stand for right with a motive pure,
With a true heart bold and a faith e’er strong;
Tis the Rock alone giveth triumph sure,
O’er the world’s array of wrong. —Unknown
