DAILY?READINGS: Exodus 36; Psalm 89:1-18; Acts 21:17-40
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. Genesis 22:4
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world… 1 Peter 1:20
Just as Abraham saw the place afar off in the distance, so our loving God in the eternal past saw the place where His beloved Son would be sacrificed. It is beyond human understanding to imagine that long before the foundation of the world, even before the fall of man in the garden, God had a plan to redeem sinners. —Sid Halsband
Before Thy hands had made, the sun to rule the day,
Or earth’s foundation laid, or fashioned Adam’s clay,
What tho’ts of peace and mercy flow’d, in Thy great heart of love, O God.
—John Kent
