Genesis 29:1-35; Job 38:1-39:30; Matthew 15:29-16:12
How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God! Luke 18:24 NKJV
We in the west are rich. Our children are born into riches of education, opportunity, truth, experience, knowledge. This richness is hard! And it is dangerous! Since we cannot change our world, cannot create interest where there is apathy, cannot soften hearts hardened by rebellion against the truth, we might say with the crowd, “Then who can be saved?” (v. 26). The Lord’s answer is our great hope. “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God” (Luke 18:27). —Marilyn MacMullen
I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus,
Trusting only Thee;
Trusting Thee for full salvation,
Great and free. —F.R. Havergal
