DAILY READINGS: Nehemiah 7; Zechariah 2-3; Revelation 12

Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? 2 Samuel 7:18

What a wonderful prayer of thanksgiving to start every new day. Whoever we are, whatever we have achieved is solely due to the goodness and grace of God. Pride is a dreadful sin, and the Christian should be in a perpetual state of humility. We deserve absolutely nothing!—Brian Russell

With grateful hearts the past we own,
The future, all to us unknown;
We to Thy guardian care commit,
And peaceful leave before Thy feet. —P. Dodderidge
