DAILY READINGS: 2 Chronicles 3-4; Ezekiel 28; John 10:19-42
And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul. 1 Chronicles 13:3
The thought here is that the children of Israel not only did not seek the return of the ark, but were not aware of its absence. When we meet to remember the Lord on the first day of the week, there is one thing that we should cherish and seek after—a consciousness of the presence of the Lord in our midst. It not only sanctifies the gathering, but it brings a feeling of love and warmth of which the world knows nothing.—Brian Russell
Shut in with Thee, far, far above,
The restless world that wars below;
We seek to learn and prove Thy love,
Thy wisdom and Thy grace to know. —Alex Seward
