DAILY?READINGS: 2 Samuel 12; Habakkuk 3; Romans 16

For the Lord most high is terrible [awesome]; he is a great King over all the earth…God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness. Ps. 47:2, 8

The sons of Korah approached God in fear and trembling, realizing He was the Lord most high, sitting upon the throne of His holiness. How can we sinners approach such a holy, all powerful God today? Only through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ (Eph. 2:13). What a privilege we have to call this God of all the universe, simply “Our Father which art in heaven” (Matt. 6:9). We can only bow in humility, wonder and worship as we meditate on this incredible truth and draw near to Him in utter dependence on the precious blood of His own blessed Son. —David Croudace

Jesus, the sinner’s Friend, we hide ourselves in Thee;
God looks upon Thy sprinkled blood, it is our only plea. —C. Wesley
