DAILY?READINGS: Joshua 2; Hosea 10 to 11:11; Luke 20:1-19
But as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff; they shall part alike. 1 Samuel 30:24
While discussing with a missionary friend the issue of being on the front lines of the battle, he pointed out that in a sense those who stay at home are more on the battle front then we realize. There are so many things to divert our attention and affect our prayer and giving in regards to mission activity. His point was well taken. We can easily forget to uphold those on the foreign field in prayer and fail to properly support their activity in the Gospel. —William Gustafson
Give as ’twas given to you in your need,
Love as the Master loved you;
Be to the helpless a helper indeed,
Unto your mission be true. —I. Wilson
