DAILY READINGS: 1 Samuel 30:1-31:13; Micah 1:1-2:13; Romans 9:1-29

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. John 14:27

When the Armstrong-Aldrin Apollo flight entered space, it took as its motto, “We come in peace for all mankind.” Before leaving for planet earth, these men of space left a plaque bearing the words of their motto
near the moon’s Sea of Tranquility. Before leaving earth for glory, the Prince of Peace left not a plaque of empty words, but the full realization in the hearts of men that He had given them eternal peace. —Arnot P. McIntee

I may sing, with Christ beside me,
Tho’ a thousand ills betide me;
Safely He hath sworn to guide me:
Peace, peace is mine. —Joseph Denham Smith
