DAILY?READINGS: 2 Kings 20 to 21:18; Lamentations 1; 1 Timothy 4
Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Psalm 97:11
Whenever an opportunity is afforded I love to sit and gaze at Canada’s many tranquil lakes—their shorelines often so clearly lit up by the rising and setting sun. We who journey in this life know that there are those who have gone before us, who have now stepped into a greater light, and stand on a better shore. What a privilege for us to know that this lies ahead for us too. Our hope in Christ encompasses our experience here on earth and also one day in heaven! Let us then keep our gaze looking up! —Mark Fenn
O fix our earnest gaze, so wholly Lord, on Thee,
That with Thy beauty occupied we elsewhere none may see! —C. Bernstein
