DAILY READINGS: Exodus 27:20-28:14; Psalm 73:1-28; Acts 15:36-16:15

Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. Psalm 56:5
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? Psalm 56:8

Suffering does not always come from sickness and bereavement. One of the greatest trials occurs when others—especially if they are believers—question our motives and actions and make us feel like spiritual  failures. The psalmist reminds us that God understands our pain and registers it in His book and there is not one tear that is not collected. —Brian Russell

No-one understands like Jesus when the foes of life assail.
You should never be discouraged. Jesus cares and will not fail. —John W. Peterson
