DAILY?READINGS: 2 Samuel 24; Jeremiah 8; Ephesians 2:11-22
Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider how great things he hath done for you. 1 Samuel 12:24
The word “consider”, means “to reflect on” or “contemplate”. Scripture encourages us to consider many things and to learn from them. When you have some time consider: the lilies (Matt. 6:28); the ravens (Luke 12:24); the ant (Prov. 6:6); the heavens (Ps. 8:3); your ways (Hag. 1:5); one another (Heb. 10:24); the Lord Jesus (Heb. 12:3); the wondrous works of God (Job 37:14)! When was the last time you really stopped and considered what great things God has done for you? Try it! It will lift you up from the depths of despair to the heights of delight! —E. V.
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
