DAILY?READINGS: Leviticus 1; Psalms 96-98; Acts 24:24 to 25:12
Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue.
Numbers 15:38
At Kadesh-barnea the Jews doubted God’s Word and were barred from entering Canaan for forty years. They were then commanded to include a blue cord in their garments to remind them not to lust after unholy things and to obey God. Without reminders we often forget important matters. We remember the Lord and the value of His death by keeping the Lord’s Supper. Like the cord of blue, it is a precious reminder while we wait for our inheritance! —W. A. H.
Wicked men, Thy law forsaking, stirred my indignation strong;
For in all my pilgrim journey, Thy commandments are my song.
