DAILY READINGS: Exodus 26:31-27:19; Psalm 72:1-20; Acts 15:22-35
That the generation to come might know them. Psalm 78:6
We seem to have little appreciation of our Christian heritage today. Great men and women missionaries have come and gone, yet so few have any knowledge of their lives and work. Biographies of great Christian men and women from the past are important to understanding God’s work throughout history. The psalmist here is speaking of an even earlier historical period and exhorting an understanding of it. We need to see how God has worked in the past to understand our place in the divine continuum of His dealings with mankind. —N. C. Funston
Be still, my soul! Thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last. —K. von Schlegel
