DAILY?READINGS: Nehemiah 8; Zechariah 4; Revelation 13
A book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. Malachi 3:16
Through all of history, there has always been an emphasis upon gathering in the Lord’s name. Thus how we should prize our ability to gather today in the name of the Lord Jesus! This is not to exhibit any exclusive spirit, but rather with a view to acknowledging His supreme worthiness. May we ever put far from us that we have come to a place. We are gathering to a Person! Our Lord’s presence is what makes our gatherings so precious! —Mark Fenn
O Lord, where’ver Thy people meet,
There they behold Thy mercy seat:
Where’ver they seek Thee, Thou art found,
And every place is hallowed ground.
—William Cowper
