DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 23; Job 27-28; Matt. 12:22-50

Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you. 1 Samuel 12:24

Every day, and certainly every Lord’s day, we should consider what great things He has done for us. The Lord’s Supper places two graphic reminders before us: the bread and the wine. What has He done for us? He gave His body to be broken for us. He bore our sins in His own body on the tree. He shed His precious blood in remission of our sins. That’s the greatest thing He has done for us all, but certainly not the only thing, for in Him we have all spiritual blessings in heavenly places. Let us consider it all and worship Him today. —Carl Knott

Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son.
—Fanny J. Crosby
