DAILY?READINGS: 2 Chronicles 36; Daniel 3; 2 John
Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God, and let the Lord do that which is good in his sight. 1 Chronicles 19:13
Jeremiah speaks of the potter remaking a vessel “as seemed good to the potter” (Jer. 18:4) The Lord Jesus committed Himself to the Father, “Even so Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight” (Matt. 11:26; Luke 10:21). Surely we as New Testament believers should recognize the sovereign workings of God in our lives and resign ourselves to His will in all of the circumstances of life. We need the “Not my will, but thine be done” (Luke 22:42) mentality. He will choose the best for those who will leave the choice with Him. —William Gustafson
I dare not choose my lot, I would not if I might;
Choose thou for me, my God, so shall I walk aright. —H. Bonar
