DAILY?READINGS: Leviticus 23:1-22; Psalms 132-134; Mark 8:27 to 9:13

And the men…asked not counsel at the mouth of the Lord. Joshua 9:14

George Müller was once consulted by a man who had a business offered to him that promised great financial profit.“ I have to give an answer within an hour,” the man said. Mr. Müller quietly replied, “Then the answer is ‘No’, for that cannot be right, that leaves a man no time for prayer.” When an important decision must be made, let us always see to it that we make time to spread the matter before the Lord. —W. Ross Rainey

O how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night to day;
So in sorrow and in gladness,
Don’t forget to pray.
—Mary Ann Kidder
