Exodus 2:23-3:22; Psalms 32:1-33:22; Matthew 28:1-20

Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God. Genesis 21:33-34

Most ordinary people live ordinary lives from one ordinary day to the next. But it is this very thing—living quiet, godly, confident lives in the family and the fellowship of God’s people, that reveals what we are really like inwardly. Being consistent when no one notices is how grace and truth are revealed. In ordinary events of life, Abraham learned God is the “everlasting God”, unchangeable and dependable. In ordinary living, in fellowship with the Lord,
His immensity is learned. —Gaius C. Goff

Glory to the eternal King,
Clad in majesty supreme!
Let all heaven His praises sing,
Let all worlds His power proclaim. —B. Francis

Exodus 4:1-31; Psalm 34:1-22; Acts 1:1-26

Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything. But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you. 1 Thessalonians 1:8; 4:9 NKJV

Faith goes out by sharing with others. For, “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Rom. 10:17 NKJV). Love is shown by caring for others. The believers at Thessalonica are a great example. They were sharing their faith and showing their love. They didn’t have to be told to tell others. They didn’t need written instructions on how to love others. Do we need to be reminded?  —Rex Trogdon

Make me a blessing, make me a blessing,
Out of my life may Jesus shine;
Make me a blessing, O Saviour, I pray,
Make me a blessing to someone today. —Ira B. Wilson
