DAILY?READINGS: Exodus 34:4-35; Psalms 85-86; Acts 20:17-38

Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. Ecclesiastes 11:1

A young doctor who was an atheist and a computer expert, tired of the “rat race” of life, spent a year on a raft going down the Zambezi river. We invited them to stay so we could give them the Gospel which neither knew. A month later the atheist, as he viewed God’s marvelous creation—the mighty Victoria Falls—wrote to tell us he had trusted Christ. Many years passed and a friend of ours met the computer expert who told him, “I trusted Christ when I heard the Gospel in the Croudace’s home”. What an encouragement to keep sowing the seed even when one does not see immediate results. —David Croudace

O ye saints arouse, be earnest, up and work while yet ‘tis day.
Ere the night of death o’er take thee, strive for souls while still you may.
—Charles C. Luther
