DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 25; Job 31; Matt. 13:24-43

 

And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.            Philippians 4:7 (NKJV)

“You have a malignant cancerous tumor” the doctor said. How can this be? I prayed for the test to show nothing was wrong. But God needed me to be closer to Him. He wanted my focus to be on Him, not the hundred other things I thought I had to do. Praise God the tests were right.    —D. Douglas

 

So near, so very near to God,
I cannot nearer be;
For in the person of His Son,
I am as near as He.
—Catesby Paget
