DAILY?READINGS: Joshua 2; Hosea 10 to 11:11; Luke 20:1-19
Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. Ezekiel 33:4
The bad news for people today is that a sword is coming; the good news is that the warning trumpet is still sounding. It is our task to pour our energies into sounding that trumpet as clearly and faithfully as we can. Perhaps by God’s enabling grace, today I would be motivated and enabled to sound out the Gospel to someone—before it’s too late. —Rick Morse
Thy blood the flaming blade must slake;
Thine heart its sheath must be;
All for my sake, my peace to make;
Now sleeps that sword for me. —A. R. Cousin
