DAILY?READINGS: Exodus 29:38 to 30:10; Psalm 78:1-31; Acts 17:16-34
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.
Psalm 116:15
“Absent from the body and present with the Lord” (2 Cor. 5:8). What a wonderful truth to rest upon. His saints are those who truly believe Christ died for them. They are His Bride—the Church. The death of a believer is also the answer to the Lord’s prayer, “Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given me, be with Me where I am” (John 17:24). What a joy we have ahead! —E. MacLelland
He and I in that bright glory,
One deep joy shall share;
Mine, to be for ever with Him,
His, that I am there.
—P. Gerhardt
