DAILY?READINGS: Num. 22:39-23:26; Prov. 20 to 21:11; James 4:13-5:20

Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord. Eph. 5:19

A friend shared with me one day that she was having trouble sleeping. After trying several natural products with little success, she told me at bedtime she started singing that lovely children’s chorus, “Jesus Loves Me”, over and over. She said, “It put me right to sleep”. Listening to and singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, can be a great comfort to the troubled soul. Why not make this a part of your bedtime routine! —Bob Cretney

Sing them over again to me,
Wonderful words of life,
Let me more of their beauty see,
Wonderful words of life. —Philip P. Bliss
