DAILY READINGS: 2 Chronicles 14:1-15:19; Ezekiel 36:16-38; John 14:15-31

Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God. Psalm 84:3

A sparrow and a swallow are used in this psalm to represent us in our restlessness. In a beautiful image, their restlessness finds a house, a nest, a family and a rest in the Lord’s house. Jesus said, “Come unto me…and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28). We find rest for our souls when we rest in Him. —Rex Trogdon

My faith has found a resting place, not in device nor creed;
I trust the ever-living One, His wounds for me shall plead.
I need no other argument, I need no other plea,
It is enough that Jesus died, and that He died for me. —Lidie H. Edmunds
