DAILY READINGS: 2 Chronicles 16-17; Ezekiel 37; John 15:1-16
The glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people. And there
came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the
altar the burnt offering and the fat: [which] when all the people
saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces. Leviticus 9:23-24
What a moment for Israel! We too have seen the glory of the Lord
in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 4:6), and witnessed fire from the
Lord consume Him as our sacrifice. As we remember His death, do
we declare with joy His praises? Or have we lost the wonder of it?
—R. Mattice
I’ve been to the altar and witnessed the Lamb,
Burnt wholly to ashes for me;
And watched its sweet savour ascending on high,
Accepted, O Father, by Thee. —Amelia M. Hull
