DAILY?READINGS: Ezra 3-4; Daniel 5; Revelation 1
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Isaiah 53:3
What a change! He came in lowliness, our souls to save, and we who despised and rejected Him are now His worshippers. We did not esteem Him, and now there is no one we esteem more. Gladly we come before His throne, full of thanksgiving. We worship and praise the Lamb. He is esteemed and adored in our hearts and our gatherings. Lord, haste the day when it will be face to face! —Carl Knott
I worship Thee, most gracious God,
And all Thy ways adore;
And every day I live, I seem,
To love Thee more and more. — F. W. Faber
