DAILY READINGS: 1 Chronicles 10-11; Ezekiel 12; John 4:1-30
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17
Inscribed into stonework above the entrance to a shopping area in Dunfermline, Scotland are words which at first sight seem unintelligible “Prais God for All Hys Gyftes”. Written in old English, they mean “Praise God for all His gifts”. We should always be thankful for the many gifts of God, but particularly so for God’s greatest gift—the person of His Son and the personal salvation He has made possible through faith in His sin-atoning death. At His table today, may our hearts be full. —Brian Powlesland
Blessed be God, our God! Who gave for us His well-beloved Son,
The gift of gifts, all other gifts in one; blessed be God, our God.—H. Bonar
