DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 6; Jeremiah 13; Ephesians 5:22 to 6:9
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Psalms 85:10
In worldly affairs, standards of righteousness may be compromised in order to achieve a settlement of a problem. Such procedures can produce only a very flimsy foundation for peace and stability. We however, praise God that in His scheme of salvation there is no lowering of His standards of absolute integrity. Such is the value of the atoning work of the Lord Jesus that every demand is fully answered, and the flood-gates of His mercy righteously dispense their rich bounty! —G. Hall
Mercy and truth unite: O ‘tis a wondrous sight—all sights above!
Jesus the curse sustained, guilt’s bitter cup He drains,
Nothing for us remains: nothing but love! —Thomas Kelly
