David’s psalm of praise is for God’s goodness and faithfulness even in the midst of troubles. He knows and rests confidently that God will bring to perfection or completion the trials that he is experiencing. In the centre of your trouble, allow the Lord to revive and perfect you, knowing that His way is being made perfect in your life, and His Word will prove more than enough! —Jim Comte

God’s Gospel not only saves the sinner but teaches the Christian. Saved and unsaved alike need to hear it constantly. It stimulates love to Christ, which is the only acceptable motive for Christian living. It reminds us that we have been forgiven much, and so stirs us to love much. —R. Mattice

This dear woman worked with her hands to provide clothes for the needy. What a wonderful inspiration she is to others who seek to follow her example. Many missionaries are blessed by the devotion of women who work tirelessly providing materials needed in the work of the Lord! Throughout North America, the UK, and other countries, sisters have set up groups to make and collect items for shipping to missionaries abroad. They need our prayer support and encouragement to continue on! —Jim Paul

Thoughts of heaven make us think of being with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He will be the centre of our focus for all eternity. But why should that attitude and adoration be put off to a coming day? As we live here and now, is the Lord Jesus truly all that we desire? Or are we caught up with earthly desires and pleasures? May He be our all in all now, as He will be then. —L. Tempest

God did not want His people to forget this miraculous deliverance, and so the Passover memorial was instituted. The Lord’s Supper is the same. We were not there at Calvary but we must never forget it. “Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed". Let us bow and worship today. —Edwin Fesche

By an act of God, our Saviour arose from the dead, and lives eternally. He is the only spiritual leader in human history who was once dead and now lives. Many bore witness of His resurrection. He will never die. Every human being—past, present, future—has an inescapable appointment with the living Christ. For many, that appointment is a happy prospect. For all others, it bodes an awful doom. Prepare now to meet the risen Saviour. —Doug Kazen

All that the world can bring against me, to cause me anxiety, to rob me of my joy, and to spoil my testimony are as nothing compared to the One whose thoughts toward me are innumerable. I wake up each day with the Lord of hosts on my side. He stands ready for every one of my battles. But I must choose to let Him do the fighting. Each temptation or anxious thought must be cast upon Him. Trust Him to take up the battle. He will give the victory. —B. Crawford

The Psalmist was so well educated by God in his youth that he continued to declare His wondrous works throughout his years. Later when he realized that age was catching up with him and his strength fading, he determined still to show forth God’s power to everyone he came in contact with. No matter what age we are, do we have such a determined goal in our life for God? —K. C. Ung

In a graveyard in the Parish Church of Cupar in Scotland is a headstone which says “Here lies interred the heads of Laurance Hay and Andrew Pitulloch who suffered martyrdom at Edinburgh for adhering to the word of God.” Many of us may have had little experience of real suffering because of our faith in Christ. Let us remember the many today who do suffer for being a Christian. —Brian Powlesland

Why wasn’t this blind man healed completely the first time Jesus laid His hands on him? Perhaps it is to emphasize the progression of the Christian life. Our knowledge of Him constantly progresses and grows. Then there is the progression of following Him, learning just how far His followers have to go: “Whosoever will come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.” So the illustration of the blind man’s progression represents each of us. Do we see any progression in our lives for Christ? —Tom Steere
