DAILY READINGS: 2 Kings 25:1-30; Ezekiel 1:1-28; 2 Timothy 2:1-26

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:18

There is an everyday hopeful expression that says “There’s light at the end of the tunnel.” Some of us are getting on in years and we recognize this experience. The Lord and His glory are our object, but the closer we get to the end of a Christian life, the brighter His glory shines. It brightens everything around us. —Lorne Perry

Lamb of God! Thy faithful promise, says “Behold I quickly come,”
And our hearts, to Thine, responsive cry, “Come Lord and take us home,”
Oh! the rapture that awaits us, when we meet Thee in the air,
And with Thee ascend in triumph, all Thy deepest joys to share. —J. G. Deck
