DAILY READINGS: 1 Sam. 23-24; Isaiah 62 to 63:14; Romans 6:15 to 7:6
It came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples. Matthew 9:10
The old Point Loma Lighthouse at San Diego Bay was short lived because its seemingly good location was seriously flawed. At 422 feet above sea level, fog and low clouds obscured its light. A new lighthouse built only 70 feet above sea level, shines brightly today. I wonder sometimes if the light of Christ within us is obscured because we are unwilling to lower ourselves to where the great mass of the lost are. They said of the Lord, “This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.” May His love for the lost be ours also. —Jerry Proctor
Let the lower lights be burning! Send across the wave,
Some poor fainting seaman, you may rescue, you may save. —Philip Bliss
