DAILY?READINGS: 1 Samuel 21-22; Isaiah 61; Romans 6:1-14
And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? Luke 24:32
Christ’s word uniquely stirs His people’s hearts. Two confused Christians were downcast on the Emmaus road; yet Christ’s speech to them lifted the gloom and brought them understanding. Modern saints may also commune with Him by reading the Scriptures. Led by the Spirit, private consideration of the Bible leads to individual worship and growth in the Lord. Then when we assemble with fellow-saints in the church to remember Him, our hearts will burn. —Keith Keyser
Sweet it is to sit before Thee, sweet to hear Thy blessed voice,
Sweet to worship and adore Thee, while our hearts in Thee rejoice.
