DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 9; Jeremiah 17; Philippians 2:12-30
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved). Ephesians 2:5
The Bible study had been on grace, but the behaviour of the young people rude. My husband concluded the study earlier than usual and announced he would be taking the teenagers home. “Shall I prepare supper?” I asked, to which my husband replied, “Yes”. One of the girls involved turned to our younger daughter and whispered that they did not deserve any supper. Our daughter replied, “That’s what grace is—getting what you don’t deserve.” —J. Fleming
Grace is what God did for me when Jesus set me free;
Mercy what He spared me from, when Christ bore the wrath for me;
Peace, God’s wondrous gift He gave, it brought me liberty;
Mercy, grace and peace, all three, obtained through Calvary.—J. F.
