DAILY READINGS: 1 Chronicles 10:1-11:47; Ezekiel 12:1-28; John 4:1-30

We spend our years as a tale that is told. Psalm 90:9

While searching for something in the attic, I came across a leather bound booklet which when opened revealed several pages of some 470 signatures on parchment paper. The book was a presentation keepsake given to my grandfather on the occasion of his retirement from service in the Bank of England in London in 1961. In striking calligraphy the following words were inscribed under his name, “As a bird is known by his note, so is a man by his conversation.” The challenge for the believer is to remember that the world looks at us and reads a story—is it a mystery, fictional, or inspiring and edifying? —Brian Powlesland

Help me remember when others I see,
They are reading “The Gospel According to Me”. —Author Unknown
