DAILY READINGS: Exodus 5:1-6:13; Psalms 35:1-36:12; Acts 2:1-21

Has His mercy ceased forever? Has His promise failed forevermore? Has God forgotten to be gracious? Psalm 77:8-9, NKJV

How often in the midst of trying circumstances do we think that God has forgotten us? When assailed with such doubts, we need to refresh ourselves in His Word. “The Lord is longsuffering, and of great mercy” (Num. 14:18). “His mercy endureth for ever” (Ps. 136:1). “According to his mercy he saved us” (Titus 3:5). In the darkest of times we can recall that He has promised, “I will not fail thee, neither forsake thee” (Deut. 31:8). —Ken Gunnell

Father of mercies, in Thy Word,
What endless glory shines!
Forever be Thy Name adored,
For these celestial lines. —Anne Steele
