DAILY?READINGS: Leviticus 27; Psalms 142-143; Mark 11:1-26
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Philippians 1:21
John Wesley was once asked how he would spend his day if he knew that he were to die at midnight the next day. He replied: “Why madam, just as I intend to spend it now. I would preach this evening at Gloucester, and again at five a.m.; after that I would ride to Tewkesbury, preach in the afternoon, and meet the societies in the evening. I would then go to the Martin home to talk and pray with the family as usual, retire to my room at ten p.m., commend myself to my heavenly Father, lie down to rest, and wake up in Glory.” This may be our last day on earth, may we live it for Christ! —W. A. H.
With Him, with Him, to dwell; it may not be today;
And yet, my soul, it may; I cannot tell, I cannot tell.
—G. Warburton
