DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 9; Jeremiah 17; Philippians:2:12-30 [12] Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
[13] For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
[14] Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
[15] That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
[16] Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
[17] Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
[18] For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
[19] But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
[20] For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
[21] For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
[22] But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
[23] Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
[24] But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
[25] Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
[26] For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
[27] For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
[28] I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
[29] Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
[30] Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.

When the Scottish Parliament was established a decade or so ago, it commissioned the manufacture of a mace as a symbol of its powers. Inscribed into the mace are four words—“Wisdom, Justice, Compassion and Integrity”. These are intended to convey the aspirations of the Scottish Government as to its principles of governing. Whether the characteristics are evident all the time may be questioned by some but they were all constantly evident characteristics in the life of Christ and should be evident in the lives of all Christians. —Brian Powlesland
Oh to be saved from myself, dear Lord, Oh to be lost in Thee,
Oh that it might be no more I, but Christ, that lives in me.
—Ada Whiddington
