DAILY READINGS: Exodus 21; Psalms 62-63; Acts 11:19-30
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and
their iniquities will I remember no more. Hebrews 8:12
The “I will” statements of God in Hebrews 8:8-12 are in stark contrast
with the “I will” declarations of Lucifer in Isaiah 14. God
extends promises and covenants for the purpose of saving, restoring,
and blessing repentant sinners. Satan had no goal of helping others,
but rather desired heavenly preeminence, the worship of creation,
and the authority to rule it. He wanted to be God. May we humbly
align our “I wills” to God’s will and follow His example of being others-
focused in service. To God be the glory! —Warren Henderson
To God be the glory, great things He hath done,
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son. —F. J. Crosby
