DAILY READINGS: Joshua 16:1-17:18; Isaiah 11:1-12:6; 1 Thess. 2:13-3:13

The mountains rose; the valleys sank down To the place which You established for them. Psalm 104:8 NASB

Atheistic science would have us believe that long ago the earth was formed as a result of the “big bang.” Scripture tells us the Lord created the heavens and the earth. “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth…all things were created by him, and for him” (Col. 1:16). Praise the Lord Jesus Christ today for the wonders of His creation! —Annette Baal

Who made heavenly storehouses filled with snow,
Or told the lightning where it should go?
Who imagined the sun and gave source to its light?
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night.
Indescribable, uncontainable, You are amazing God. —Chris Tomlin

DAILY READINGS: Joshua 14:1-15:63; Isaiah 10:5-34; 1 Thess. 1:1-2:12

And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer. Luke 22:15

She came to the morning service at our assembly and lay on a bed for the duration of the meeting due to a back injury. If I were in her position, would I stay home or would I still come to meet the Lord? Other versions state “earnestly desired” and “heartily desired.” If the Lord so desired to meet with His followers in the upper room before He went to the cross, how much do we desire to meet with Him to show our appreciation for what He has done for us? —Janet Fleming

I take the bread and wine today
And hear my Saviour gently say,
“Remember Me, I died for you,
Is this too much for you to do?” —Janet Fleming
