DAILY?READINGS: 2 Sam. 19:9-43; Jeremiah 3:6 to 4:2; Gal. 4:21 to 5:9
And they that handle the law knew Me not: Jeremiah 2:8
How disastrous when a preacher or teacher of the Bible does not personally know the Lord. Because of their sinful behaviour the Corinthians were told to examine themselves to see whether they really knew Christ (2 Cor. 13:5). We are told, “If any man is in Christ he is a new creature, old things have passed away… all things have become new” (2 Cor 5:17). In the light of these Scriptures is the Spirit witnessing with my spirit, that I am a child of God? (Rom. 8:16). If not, I need to return to Christ and put my faith in Him alone. —David Croudace
Jesus I will trust Thee, trust Thee with my soul;
Guilty, lost and helpless, Thou canst make me whole.
There is none in heaven or on earth like Thee,
Thou hast died for sinners, therefore Lord for me. —M. J. Walker
