DAILY?READINGS: Deut. 28:1-37; Amos 3-4; Luke 14:1-24
Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. Psalm 50:14-15
Here are two essentials, if we would walk with the Lord: a spirit of thankfulness, and the discharging of commitments already made to Him. Thus strengthened, we shall not be overwhelmed in “the day of trouble” when it comes upon us. Even in the darkest hour, we are assured of an outcome which will be both for God’s glory, and for our blessing. —George Hall
I’ll bless the hand that guided;
I’ll bless the heart that planned,
When throned where glory dwelleth,
In Immanuel’s land. —A. R. Cousin
