DAILY READINGS: 1 Samuel 30:1-31:13; Micah 1:1-2:13; Romans 9:1-29

The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. Ecclesiastes 1:8b

This verse sums up man’s never ending search for satisfaction. Despite the wonderful sights and sounds found on the earth, mankind is unfulfilled. However, because of Calvary, our spiritual senses see sights and hear sounds unbelievers know nothing about. What a wonderful foretaste of Heaven. Then with perfect voices we shall praise the Lamb for sinners slain. “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him” (1 Cor. 2:9). —Vernon Markle

When Thy blood-bought church, Lord Jesus, is complete:
When each soul is safely landed at Thy feet:
What a story in the glory, she’ll repeat. —J. G. Deck
