DAILY READINGS: Numbers 32; Proverbs 28; Luke 4:1-15

Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. Hebrews 7:4

These words were first spoken of Melchisedec, but how applicable they are to the Lord Jesus. How inestimably great He was, and is! Great in His glory; great in His humility; great in His deity and great in His humanity; great in His love and great in His power; great in His holiness and great in His tenderness. Every virtue, every pleasing feature can be seen in Him who in His greatness loved me and gave Himself for me! —Jim Flanigan

Jesus, I am resting, resting,
In the joy of what Thou art;
I am finding out the greatness,
Of Thy loving heart. —Jean S. Piggott
