DAILY READINGS: Judges 7; Isaiah 28; 1 Corinthians 7
But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked. Isaiah 57:20-21
The Bible is a book that tells us first, the bad news, then the good news. It is good news for bad people. The verses above describe the world in which we live. There are fears on every hand and there is no rest for wicked people. However, there is for believers in Christ a rest that is offered to all.The good news is, Jesus said, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest,” (Matt 11:28). Now that is good news. We do not know what tomorrow brings, but we can always know that beneath us are the “everlasting arms.” Is your rest in Him? —Harold G. Smith
The Lord’s our Rock, in Him we hide, a shelter in the time of storm.
Secure whatever ill betide, a Shelter in the time of storm. —Ira Sankey
