DAILY?READINGS: 1 Samuel 4-5; Isaiah 47; 2 Corinthians 8
Every word of God is pure; He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. Proverbs 30:5
Time and chance happeneth to them all. Ecclesiastes 9:11
A discouraged Solomon observed that all people are victims of time and chance. Not so, says Agur; those who put their trust in God and His word are shielded from happenstance. Our goings are of the Lord. What comfort and peace we have as children of God, knowing that our every step is planned and shielded by our heavenly Father.—D. Pickup
Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine,
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since ‘tis Thy hand that leadeth me! —Joseph H. Gilmore
