Happy Wednesday, friends! Let’s get our Bibles open, shall we? I know I need it!
Today’s Proverbs reading is chapter 8, and we are reading Psalm 22:1-11, which is a Messianic psalm we’ll spend the rest of the week finishing. Our scripture writing passage is Psalm 41:10-13, reminding us that the whole reason we can live in integrity is because He upholds us. We also continue memorizing Prov. 2:1-5 this week.
In Days of Heaven on Earth we are made to consider the role of God as our Husbandman–“Do you believe in this disciplining love of the Husbandman, and are you trusting Him with the leading and government of your life? Oh, that you would cease to envy or be disturbed by the people around you! Some day you will be glad for the training and blessing they have brought you.”
Chambers in My Utmost for His Highest answers the question, “What’s Next To Do?”–“When you know that you should do something and you do it, immediately you know more. Examine where you have become sluggish, where you began losing interest spiritually, and you will find that it goes back to a point where you did not do something you knew you should do.”
In looking at 2 Peter 3:18, we consider what it really means to “grow in grace” and not just have grace bestowed upon us…the exercise of attaining spiritual maturity. And we look at a stanza from Hymn 20 by Anna L. Waring:
Glory to Thee for all the grace
I have not tasted yet.
See you, Lord willing, on Thursday!
