DAILY?READINGS: 2 Kings 6:1-23; Jeremiah 39-40; Hebrews 10:1-18

…unto all them also that love his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:8

To love His appearing is the exact opposite of “ashamed…at his coming” (1 John 2:28). To love His appearing is to seek His presence and be in His Word daily, setting our affections on things above. Nor would we be found in any place not becoming a Christian. Our speech will be with grace seasoned with salt, waiting and watching for our blessed Lord. —Edith MacLelland

Thou art coming! At Thy table,
We are witnesses for this.
As we meet Thee in communion,
Earnest of our coming bliss.
—Frances Ridley Havergal
