DAILY?READINGS: 2 Chronicles 16-17; Ezekiel 37; John 15:1-16
The people were called together after Saul … the people were distressed … the people hid themselves … the people followed him trembling … the people were scattered. 1 Samuel 13:4-8
Saul’s reign was a poor one. Much intitial potential was quickly squandered. He based many decisions on his emotions and thus destabilized his subjects with uncertainty and uneasiness. What choices do I face that my feelings could lead me astray on? Our deceptively wicked hearts will always draw us away from His will. Only by hearing and heeding His Word can we keep our emotions from turning us to a deadly detour. Just trust Him. —Rick Morse
Open my ears, that I may hear, voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
And while the wave notes fall on my ear, everything false will disappear. —C. Scott
