DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 1; Jeremiah 9; Ephesians 3
Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath He in anger shut up His tender mercies? I will remember the years…of the most High. Psalm 77:9-10
These two verses indicate a remarkable change in the writer’s outlook on life and attitude to God. Such was his depression in the opening verses that he finally reached the stage where he wondered if God had forgotten him. But then he realized that he himself, not God, was the forgetful one. So in a new mood he began to recall the mighty works of God in the past and was refreshed. Try it. —W. P. M.
His love in time past forbids me to think,
He’ll leave me at last in trouble to sink;
Each sweet Ebenezer I have in review,
Confirms His good pleasure to help me quite through.—John Newton
