January 4 - Choice Gleanings

DAILY READINGS: Gen. 4-5; Job 6-7; Matt. 4

Consider how great things he hath done for you. 1 Samuel:12:24Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
See All...

The purpose of the Lord’s Supper is not to remember our sin, but to remember Him! Samuel exhorted the people to fear the Lord and to serve Him in truth, remembering His marvelous works. We have so much more to remember and consider, for we look back to Calvary and the empty tomb. Of all the marvelous things that God has done for us, the greatest is the sacrifice of His Son. He bore our sins. He finished redemption’s work. We are washed, sanctified, justified, and now called “the sons of God” (1 John:3:1Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
See All...). As we gather to consider His great works, may our hearts overflow with gratitude and praise. —Carl Knott

Come, thou fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. —R. Robinson
