DAILY READINGS: 2 Kings 15:32-16:20; Jeremiah 50:21-46; Titus 2:9-3:15

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15

He was born without a right hand and so had been abandoned as a newborn. For years, he was rejected by prospective families, until one day a couple appeared, insistent that they adopt him. It was a perfect fit, because the patriarch of this family was also born without a right hand. In his new grandfather, the little boy found someone who perfectly understood his challenges and fears. Dear friend, please know that whatever trial you are going through right now, Jesus understands. —Lynn Shatford

Can we find a friend so faithful, who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness, take it to the Lord in prayer. —J. Scriven
