DAILY READINGS: 2 Sam. 18 to 19:8; Jeremiah 2 to 3:5; Gal. 4:1-20
Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus. 2 Corinthians 7:6
Former neighbours of long ago came from out of state to visit when my husband was ill. It was such a significant encouragement that he likened it to the comfort the Apostle Paul must have felt with the coming of Titus. God is always with us, but sometimes we need the joining of human emotions. When the Holy Spirit brings to mind someone in a nursing home or hospital, it may be a directive to visit and bring cheer to that person. There is however, that last valley to cross, where no one can accompany us; but we have God’s promise not to fear “for Thou art with me” (Ps. 23:4). —E. Dyck
Tho’ the stormy clouds hover o’er me and life is burdened with sorrows and pain; God my pilot goes before me, He sends the rainbow with the rain.—Anon.
