DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 9 to 10:10; Proverbs 6:20 to 7:27; Mark 16
But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. Judges 1:6
Thumbs give people the ability to grasp things firmly; big toes provide balance to one’s stance and walk. Without these small but vital digits one loses one’s grip and steady walk. In spiritual matters this is all too common. Many are letting precious truths slip from their grasp. Others are staggering from one faddish doctrine to another. But believers must firmly hold to the Scriptures, rejecting the tumultuous winds of false teaching that swirl all around us. Rather than seeking something “new” (usually a repackaged lie), we ought to cling to God’s Word (Heb. 2:1) and not walk by any other rule. —K. R. Keyser
May the Word of God dwell richly, in my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph, only through His power.
