DAILY READINGS: Leviticus 11; Psalms 113-115; Mark 2:23 to 3:12
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:20
This is one of the big secrets of Christian living—a continual acknowledgement of the goodness of God in all circumstances. This can be very hard at times—and not many have suffered as the apostle did in his walk with God—but it is the key to humility and true joy. Unthankful believers will always be negative and miserable, and it is other believers who have to endure them! —Brian Russell
Thou Life of my life, blessed Jesus, Thou death of the death that was mine,
For me Thy cross and Thine anguish, Thy love and Thy sorrow divine;
Thou suffered the cross and the torment, that I might forever go free,
A thousand, a thousand thanksgivings, I bring, blessed Saviour, to Thee! —E. C. Homburg
