DAILY?READINGS: 2 Kings 11-12; Jeremiah 48; Hebrews 12:18 to 13:6
I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. Lamentations 3:1, 19-20
The pain of Divine chastisement cannot easily be forgotten. The vital issue, however, is this, has it produced in my character Christ-like qualities, such as humility, patience and compassion towards others who are suffering? —George Hall
Have Thine own way, Lord: have Thine own way:
Hold o’er my being, absolute sway:
Fill with Thy Spirit, till all shall see
Christ, only, always, living in me —A. A. Pollard
