2 Kings 6:1-23; Jeremiah 39:1-40:16; Hebrews 10:1-18
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 3:18
It is said that the saintly nineteenth century Scottish preacher, Robert Murray M’Cheyne, used each birthday as an opportunity to gauge his spiritual progress from year to year. It is no wonder that he saw revival in Dundee and is held up as a great example of consecrated godliness. We must not allow our lives to drift as it is too easy to develop habits which can undermine our development in Christlikeness. We need to make ourselves aware of the constant need for spiritual progress and that requires discipline in prayer, obedience to God’s Word and a real desire to bring glory to the name of Christ. —Paul Young
This is my constant longing and prayer;
Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear. —T. O. Chisholm
