DAILY READINGS: Gen. 30; Job 40-41; Matt. 16:13 to 17:13
God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be
had in reverence of all them that are about Him. Psalms 89:7
Sadly today there seems to be a lack of reverence for the Lord in
many local churches. Appealing to the listener’s emotions appears to
be the primary objective when God’s people gather. The psalmist
reminds us that we are to demonstrate reverence, respect mingled
with awe, adoration and affection to the Lord of heaven and earth.
Let this be our focus when we gather unto His name. —Bob Cretney
Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity. —R. Heber
