DAILY READINGS: 1 Samuel:18:6 to 19:7; Isaiah 59; Romans:4:23 to 5:11
...Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. Isaiah:28:16
The building at which I looked was attractive in design and finish. Why then was it to be demolished? The foundation was defective! How important it is to have "a sure foundation" for eternity! Only in Jesus Christ can spiritual security be had. Our "good works" provide no
salvation. Whoever trusts in Christ is for ever secure (
John:3:16). —George Hall
The Rock of ages must endure;
Nor can that faith be overthrown,
Which rests upon the "living Stone".
—Samuel Medley
