DAILY READINGS: Joshua 7; Isaiah 3-4; Luke 22:31-53

There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? Genesis 39:9

When our son went to university we looked for books to help him face the “Sodom and Gomorrah” of college life. One sentence I read struck me forcibly, “If a young person truly knows the Lord he will make it! But if that one does not really know Christ in a personal way, all your advice, as a parent, will not help.” When far from home and loved ones, what will keep a young believer from sin? Only a personal relationship with the Saviour and a close walk with God will enable them to overcome temptation. —David Croudace

He that loves us bears us through, and makes us more than conquerors too.
Faith hath an overcoming power; that triumphs in the trying hour.—Anon.
