DAILY?READINGS: Deut. 29; Amos 7-8; Luke 15:11-32
And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand. Daniel 1:2
Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs. Daniel 1:9
Adversity or favour, God brought both into Daniel’s life. So it is in our lives. Daniel chose to honour God in the good times and also in the adverse times. Let us, like Daniel, determine to trust and obey God no matter what the circumstances He places us in. —D. Pickup
While I hear life’s rugged billows, peace, peace is mine!
Why suspend my harp on willows? Peace, peace is mine!
I may sing, with Christ beside me, tho’ a thousand ills betide me;
Safely He hath sworn to guide me, Peace, peace is mine!
—J. Denham Smith
