DAILY?READINGS: Exodus 33 to 34:3; Psalms 83-84; Acts 20:1-16
When Thou saidst, Seek ye My face; my heart said unto Thee, Thy face Lord, will I seek. Psalm 27:8
Naomi had lost all that she held dear—her husband and both her sons—and felt so alone. Perhaps not surprisingly, her thoughts turned to home. We often come to the same point. If all seems empty, we need to take stock of our situation as Naomi did, and make up our minds to return to where we left. When we do this, we can start again. It may involve confessing our sins and humbling ourselves before God but when we return to Him and the place of His will, we will receive His blessing once more. —G. Frear
Gracious God, my heart renew, make my spirit right and true;
Thy salvation’s joy impart, steadfast make my willing heart.—Author Unknown
