DAILY?READINGS: Nehemiah 6; Zechariah 1; Revelation 11

Let us draw near with a true heart…  Hebrews 10:22
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith… Hebrews 10:23
Let us consider one another…to love and to good works. Hebrews 10:24

Here are the main elements of the believer’s walk of faith: worship that comes from a true heart; a witness that does not waver and work that stirs others to fervently and faithfully serve the Lord. They issue from the blood of Christ that opens the way (v. 19), a rent veil that declares the way (Matt. 27:51), and a great High Priest who keeps the way open for us to exercise and enjoy the privileges of our faith. What an offer and what an opportunity! —Mark Kolchin

Thou in whom all fullness dwelleth, wilt Thou now impart to me,
Something of Thy blessèd nature, draw me nearer, Lord, to Thee?
—Helen Pierce
