DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 3; Psalms 148-150; Mark 13
Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long. For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off. Proverbs 23:17-18
Living a daily disciplined life is not easy. Sometimes the seeming ease of the ungodly’s life seems attractive. We are exhorted here to forsake such envy and keep on. Our faithfulness will be rewarded. God will reward those who diligently seek Him (Heb. 11:6). Dear Saint, do not be discouraged in living sacrificially for our Lord Jesus. Your reward is sure. —D. Pickup
Do you ever feel downhearted or discouraged?
Do you ever think your work is all in vain?
Do the burdens thrust upon you make you cheerless,
And you fear that you shall ne’er the vict’ry gain?
Have faith in God. —M. A. Stephens
