DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 50; Psalm 30; Matt. 27:27-44
Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Luke 21:26
We live in a world of great uncertainty—earthquakes, tidal waves and other natural disasters. There is also global economic instability, famine and disease. For many it seems hopeless but for those who reverence and believe in God and his Word the solution is in the soon return of His blessed Son—not only to take His own from the world, but to rule, judging the world in righteousness (Acts 17:31). How glad we should be that our ultimate salvation “is nearer than when we believed” (Rom. 13:11). —Drew Craig
Heartaches all ended, school days all done;
Heaven will open, Jesus will come. —C. A. Blackmore
