DAILY?READINGS: 2 Kings 17; Jeremiah 51:1-24; 1 Timothy 1
And his (Uzziah’s) name spread abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong. But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction. 2 Chronicles 26:15, 16
We have never “reached it” in the Christian life. As soon as we attribute spiritual gift and advancement to ourselves, we become impotent and counter-productive in the things of God. God hates pride. The psalmist could say, “I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.” (Psalm 84:10). —Brian Russell
O to grace how great a debtor,
Daily I’m constrained to be;
Let that grace Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to thee. —Robert Robinson
