DAILY?READINGS: Leviticus 14:33-57; Psalm 119:41-72; Mark 5:1-20

And for the good will of him who dwelt in the bush. Deuteronomy 33:16

Moses blessed Joseph’s progeny. Considering the remarkable revelations of the Lord that Moses had experienced, we might think that he would have asked for the good will of the “Destroyer of the Egyptians” or the “Mighty Law Giver”. Instead, as impending death sharpened his perception of a life lived, he remembered a time when he was alone and isolated, far from home and the great purposes he once thought the Lord had for him. In a burning bush, God met him and changed his life. The most powerful and moving moments of our lives are intensely personal, when we remember the “Dweller in the Bush” stooping to meet our need and change our lives. —S. McEachern

What if the springs of life were broke, and flesh and heart should faint?
God is my soul’s eternal rock, the strength of every saint. —Isaac Watts
