DAILY READINGS: Joshua 22; Isaiah 15-16; 2 Thessalonians 1
All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow. Numbers 6:5
The Nazarite was manifestly different in the sight of men. Should not a Christian be different in the eyes of the ungodly? We are ambassadors of Christ, children of God, joint-heirs with Christ, possessors of unsearchable riches. Our kingdom is not of this world and our inheritance is in heaven. We should not just be different, we should be vastly different. Worldliness and immodesty are absent. Flamboyance is not seen. Such behaviour brings ridicule from the ungodly. Let it not be said of us. —R. Surgenor
Heirs of God, joint-heirs with Jesus, long ere time its race began;
To His name eternal praises, O what wonders love hath done!—John Kent
