DAILY READINGS: Deuteronomy 2; Eccl. 2:12 to 3:15; Luke 6:20-49
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Ecclesiastes 8:11
The sentence against our sin fell on the innocent head of Christ, at Calvary. Through faith in Him our sins are cast into the depths of the sea. But when we abuse the complete forgiveness we have in Christ, it is an indication of the love we have for our Lord. It will also result in a loss of reward in a coming day. Every believer enjoys a cancelled sentence. It should stir us to a deeper devotion and glad obedience to our Saviour. How much do we want to please Him? —D. Heels
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness,
Gold of obedience and incense of lowliness,
Bring and adore Him—the Lord is His Name. —J. B. Monsell
