DAILY?READINGS: 1 Kings 15:1-32; Jeremiah 26; Colossians 3:5 to 4:1
And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem … And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem,… and brought it to David. 2 Samuel 23:15-16
Out of deep love for David, three men broke through the enemy lines to bring David a drink from his home town. Nothing is too much trouble to a believer, who has completely abandoned himself to his beloved Saviour. So, if ever I find myself complaining when asked to do some service for the Lord or for His people, let me go quickly to the foot of the cross to be reminded of the One who loved me to the uttermost and gave His all for me. —David Croudace
I left the throne of glory and counted it but loss,
My hands were nailed in anger, upon the cruel cross. —I. Stanphill
