DAILY READINGS: 1 Samuel 21-22; Isaiah 61; Romans 6:1-14
Lord, Thou knowest all things; Thou knowest that I love Thee. John 21:17
Indeed He knows all things! He knows our shortcomings and our failures; He knows our backsliding and our murmuring. But He knows too, that in our heart of hearts we love Him. For who He is, for what He is, and for what He has done, we love Him. This rises above our weaknesses. How can we help but love Him who first loved us and gave Himself for us? May our worship please the Father today.—J. F.
We love Thee for the glorious worth,
Which in thyself we see;
We love Thee for the shameful cross,
Endured so patiently. —Joseph Stennett
