DAILY?READINGS: Joshua 11-12; Isaiah 8:5 to 9:7; Luke 24:13-35
Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts:… Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone. Isaiah. 6:3, 5
When confronted with the blazing holiness of God, Isaiah concluded that he was undone. When we view ourselves in honesty, we must rapidly come to the same conclusion. Paul’s assessment regarding himself was that he was the “chief of sinners”. But writing to the Ephesians, he states that because of Calvary we have graciously been made to be partakers of the Beloved. “To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved” (Eph. 1:6). It took a mighty work at Calvary, but guilty sinners are made acceptable to a thrice holy God. Let us remember His person and work today. —Ken Gross
Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it! Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed by His infinite mercy, His child and forever I am.
—Fanny Crosby
