DAILY?READINGS: Joshua 18-19; Isaiah 13; 1 Thessalonians 4
Children, obey your parents … for this is well pleasing. Col. 3:20
Having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, … a sacrifice … well pleasing to God. Philippians 4:18
Let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually … but to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. Hebrews 13:15-16
A child’s obedience to their parents, an offering to support God’s work, one’s occupation with Christ in worship or an opportunity to do good to others, are all considered to be well pleasing to our God. May we follow the example of the Saviour who said “I do always those things that please Him” (John 8:29). —Pete Smith
Saviour, Thy dying love Thou gavest me.
Nor should I aught withhold, dear Lord, from Thee. —S. Phelps
