DAILY READINGS: Nehemiah 5; Haggai 2; Revelation 10
But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: Thou art
my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God. Ps. 40:17
“A penny for your thoughts,” is a fitting expression for one who is
poor and needy. And what thoughts his penny affords, to find the
Lord is thinking about him! What kind of thoughts? Isaiah says they
are “higher than ours” (Isaiah 55:9), while the psalmist says that they
are “very deep” (Ps. 92:5), “precious and innumerable as the sand”
(Ps. 139:17-18). Surely we might ask, “What is man that Thou art
mindful of him?” Yet daily He proves that He is. —Rex Trogdon
Oh, the peace forever flowing,
From God’s thoughts of His own Son!
Oh, the peace of simply knowing,
On the cross that all was done! —A. P. Cecil
