DAILY?READINGS: 2 Chronicles 26; Ezekiel 43; John 19:17-42
Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts. Jeremiah 15:16
The work that God called Jeremiah to do was a discouraging work. There were times when he, like Job, blamed God for his troubles. However he found great comfort in God’s Word. There it was affirmed that he belonged to God and was called by His name. What an honour to be called a Christian. It means a Christ-one. One that is united with Christ. As Jeremiah found his strength and joy in the Word of the Lord and his identify in the Name of the Lord, so should we in the evil days in which we live. —Harold G. Smith
There is a name I love to hear, I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in mine ear, the sweetest name on earth.
—F. Whitfield
