DAILY READINGS: 1 Samuel 26:1-27:12; Isaiah 65:1-25; Romans 8:1-17

And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. Matthew 17:8

Moses and Elijah, two of the greatest prophets of the Old Testament, had been on the mount of transfiguration with the Lord. Yet now these two men disappear from sight. The best of men are only men at their best. Who can be compared with the incomparable Lord? —John M.Clegg

Join all the glorious names,
Of wisdom, love and power;
That mortals ever knew,
That angels ever bore;
All are too mean to speak His worth,
Too mean to set our Saviour forth. —Isaac Watts
