DAILY?READINGS: Leviticus 4:27 to 5:13; Psalm 104; Acts 27:1-26
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:7
Genuine faith in Christ weathers the storms of life, for it is grounded in an eternal Saviour. Our great High Priest has said, “I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not” (Luke 22:32). This faith is displayed in prison cells, cancer wards, and impoverished houses. It moves great obstacles and yet trusts not human power or wisdom. The fire only purges the dross, proving that the life our Lord offers transcends every trial and lasts eternally. Thankfully, difficult times reveal God’s glorious riches in His saints. —K. R. Keyser
O God, we come with singing, because Thy great High Priest;
Our names to Thee is bringing, nor e’er forgets the least. —M. B. Peters
