DAILY?READINGS: 1 Samuel 16; Isaiah 55 to 56:8; Romans 2
For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon… every high tower, and upon every fenced wall. Isaiah 2:12a, 15
The engineering skill of humanity is amazing. Buildings in some of the world’s biggest cities have gotten so tall that they now merit the name skyscaper. Most are built to withstand natural disasters as well—earthquakes and powerful winds. But in the day of the Lord, His power will cast these high towers to the earth! Oh, may the Lord cause our hearts to be fully consecrated to the almighty God, before whom everything is as dust! —Johannes Bruwer
A mighty Fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing,
Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing.—Martin Luther
