DAILY?READINGS: Exodus 30:11-38; Psalm 78:32-72; Acts 18:1-23
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. 2 Peter 1:20
“There are other interpretations you know!” was the reply when I mentioned a certain passage of Scripture. This is a major problem in the church. Many want to interpret God’s Word according to their own desires, but most passages need no interpretation. The words mean what they say, and I must be humble enough to obey what I read. If God challenges me through His Word to change my ways, am I willing to obey? Or do I explain it away? —David Croudace
Open Thy Word of truth, that I may see
Thy message written clear and plain for me;
Then in sweet fellowship, walking with Thee,
Thy image on my life engraved will be. —Mary A. Lathbury
