DAILY?READINGS: 1 Samuel 17:32 to 18:5; Isaiah 58; Romans 4:1-22
Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand. Isaiah 13:6
Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Isaiah 40:1
How many have been crying in anguish in the recent horrible disasters that have struck this world! Our hearts go out to them. But the day of the Lord is coming upon all the inhabitants of the earth, and no aid will come from another place. Today is still a day of grace. Come to the Saviour before these events unfold. Meanwhile, let us who have been comforted by the Lord “comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God” (2 Cor. 1:4). —Tom Steere
O Jesus, Friend unfailing, how dear Thou art to me!
Are cares or fears assailing? I find my strength in Thee.—S. C. G. Kuster
