DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 30-31; Proverbs 26:13 to 27:27; Luke 3

…Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…Acts 16:31

On December 18, 2013, the headline read, “Dramatic Rescue Over Kingston Blaze”. A raging fire was quickly making ashes of an apartment building. High above the inferno, a crane operator was trapped. So he cautiously worked his way to the end of the crane’s giant boom. In minutes, a helicopter appeared and a rescue technician was lowered to give the terrified operator a secure “bear hug”, as both were pulled to safety. Likewise by accepting the truth of today’s text, you will not experience the flames of hell. —Arnot P. McIntee

God’s almighty arms are round me; peace, peace is mine!
Judgment scenes need not alarm me; peace, peace is mine.
