DAILY?READINGS: Leviticus 17-18; Psalm 119:145-176; Mark 6:30-56
But Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. Psalm 86:15
There is no earthly discouragement that a thoughtful reflection on God’s greatness cannot dispel. As we recall His many amazing attributes, our memories connect with past experiences and examples of how He has revealed Himself to us. Following such activity, a worshiping heart will find it very difficult to worry or complain, and it will truly “rejoice the soul” (Psalm 86:4). —Rick Morse
Not what I am, O Lord, but what Thou art;
That, that alone can be my soul’s true rest;
Thy love, not mine, bids fear and doubt depart,
And stills the tempest of my tossing breast. —Horatius Bonar
