DAILY?READINGS: Ezra 9; Daniel 10; Revelation 5

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 2 Corinthians 4:7

So many today are trying hard to better self in every way. Yet no matter what they try they are often left disillusioned, disappointed and empty inside. What a contrast to have God’s treasures inside of us. He has given us His Holy Spirit, who is in us and with us forever. We have Christ in us, the “hope of glory” (Col. 1:27). When our physical energy abates He keeps pouring His strength into us. —Jim Paul

Jesus is all the world to me, my life, my joy, my all;
He is my strength from day to day, without Him I would fall.
When I am sad, to Him I go, no other one can cheer me so;
When I am sad, He makes me glad, He’s my Friend.
—W. Thompson
