DAILY?READINGS: 2 Chronicles 31; Ezekiel 47; 1 John 1 to 2:11
Thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Genesis 2:17
If thou [punish] him with the rod, he shall not die. Proverbs 23:13
Eve saw that the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was good for food and would make one wise. Common sense and the devil said “Eat.” But the eating resulted in death. Citing various reasons, human wisdom today resists corporal punishment for children. But man’s ways are not God’s way. As parents, let us not rely on our common sense or on the wisdom of this world. Obey God’s Word; it is truth and directs us and our children into everlasting life. —D. Pickup
Your Word is a lamp for my feet, and a light for my pathway.
I will hide Your Word in my heart, and meditate on it each day. —L. Stein
