DAILY READINGS: 1 Samuel 2:1-36; Isaiah 44:24-45:25; 2 Cor. 5:11-6:10

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things. Revelation 4:11 
Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood. Rev. 5:9

We know our God created everything and that He deserves praise for who He is—the great Creator God. But when we think of Him being slain for us, our hearts cry out in wonder at what He has done. This creation will pass away but our souls are eternal and His sacrifice provides eternal life. Oh how our praise should flow! —Ken Gross

Worthy, worthy is the Lamb;
Worthy, worthy is the Lamb—that was slain!
Thou redeemst our souls to God;
Thou redeemst our souls to God—by Thy blood. —William Mackey
