DAILY READINGS: Numbers 33; Proverbs 29; Luke 4:16-44
Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise Thy name for ever and ever. Psalm 145:2
David’s life traversed the spectrum of human experience. There were good days when he felt greatly blessed, but there were also bad days, filled with disappointment, discouragement, and depression. Yet he rose above his circumstances and blessed the Lord every day. Our lives are the same. There are times when the south wind blows softly, and the skies are cloudless and bright. Other times we feel the blast of the north wind, and clouds “gather thick and thunder loud”. May we like David, look beyond our circumstances, and raise our voices every day in praise and blessing to the Lord. —W. H. Burnett
We thank thee for the desert road, and for the river side,
For all Thy goodness has bestowed, and all Thy grace denied. —J. Crewdson
