DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 16:1-40; Proverbs 13; 1 Peter 5
Now therefore give me this mountain… the Anakims (giants) were there… the LORD will be with me. Joshua 14:12
What a story—85 year old Caleb annexing a mountain inhabited by giants—for God! We do not find the concept of retirement from God’s service in His Word. I may be weak in body, in a retirement home or on a bed of sickness, but through prayer I can labour on for the Lord. Is there a mountain of opposition to the Gospel which I can help pull down through prayer? Paul, languishing in prison; expecting to be executed any day, said, “I press on.” (Phil. 3:14) —David Croudace
Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice;
For toil comes rest, for exile home.
Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom’s voice,
The midnight cry: “Behold I come!” —Horatius Bonar
