DAILY?READINGS: Nehemiah 3; Daniel 12; Revelation 8

I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Psalm 16:8

Our Lord is at our right hand (the hand of strength) as our Comforter and Confidante. He is also our true Friend and Advocate. The Lord wants our company, in order to enjoy fellowship with us. As we walk life’s path with Him, He blesses our soul and reveals God’s will to us. As I walk with Him my life needs to reflect His holy character and thus I must watch over my speech and behaviour. —Jim Pizzulli

Take the name of Jesus ever,
As a shield from ev’ry snare,
If temptation round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer.
—Lydia Baxter
