Leviticus 3:1-17; Psalm 102:1-28; Acts 26:1-18

Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! Nahum 1:15

This passage is quoted in Romans 10:14 with reference to our Gospel witness, but we can also see our Saviour here as the One who brought good tidings and published peace with God through Himself. Who ever brought good news to this sin-sick world like He did? At His birth, the angels proclaimed peace on earth and good will to men from heaven. Until He returns, we plead with people in Christ’s stead for them to be reconciled to God. —Rick Morse

Over land and sea, wherever man may dwell,
Of the crimson banner, now the story tell. —Daniel Whittle

…behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2, KJV

The clock tower at a hotel in Edinburgh always shows the time 3 minutes fast. This is claimed to help those rushing to catch a train at nearby Waverley train station. What a relief for some who just make it to catch their train. There are many instances in life where people procrastinate and leave things until too late. Is there something you need to do for the Lord? Don’t delay, do it now! If you are not saved and know you need to be—attend to it now! —Brian Powlesland

While the voice of Jesus calls you be in time! If in sin you longer wait,
You may find no open gate, and your cry be just too late. Be in time!

Leviticus 2:1-16; Psalms 99:1-101:8; Acts 25:13-27

And beginning to sink, [Peter] cried, saying, Lord, save me. Matthew 14:30

Only two men ever walked on the surface of the sea, the Lord Jesus and Peter. The Lord could do so because He is the Creator, but Peter did so only by divine enablement and through faith. Whilst the divine power never failed, his faith did, and that heroic man began to sink. The immediate conditions so overwhelmed his natural senses that he took his eyes off the One who had called him. Do present burdens give you that “sinking feeling” today, dear saint? Don’t be ashamed: call upon the Lord. Remember, Peter wrote from experience, “The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous,
and his ears are open unto their prayers” (1 Peter 3:12). —Phil Coulson

Kept by His power, whatever dangers lower. —William Blane

DAILY READINGS: Leviticus 2:1-16; Psalms 99:1-101:8; Acts 25:13-27

And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time. Hebrews 9:27-28

Two things are appointed to humanity; death and judgment. The Lord Jesus experienced both. But there is a world of difference between the two. Man’s death is because of his own sin. The Lord’s death was on account of others’ sins. While man’s judgment follows death, that of the Lord’s came before death when He bore God’s judgment for human guilt, thus securing salvation for those “who wait for him” (Lamentations 3:25). —Drew Craig

O what a Saviour that He died for me,
From condemnation He hath made me free. —J. McGranahan

Leviticus 1:1-17; Psalms 96:1-98:9; Acts 24:24-25:12

And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. Mark 5:15

The Gadarene maniac had just had an encounter with the Christ of God! He who was uncontrollable and a danger to himself and others had been dramatically changed by the Lord Jesus. His activities are different; he is “sitting”. His attire is changed; he is now “clothed”. His attitude is changed; he is sound-minded. What an amazing conversion that only the Saviour brings! —Lloyd Cain

What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought
Since Jesus came into my heart!
I have light in my soul for which long I have sought,
Since Jesus came into my heart! —Rufus H. McDaniel

DAILY READINGS: Leviticus 1:1-17; Psalms 96:1-98:9; Acts 24:24-25:12

Because I have called and you refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded, because you have ignored all my counsel. Proverbs 1:24-25a

This is a serious warning indeed! The wisdom of God calls out to every person to take heed, to listen and to act now! What could be more plain than this warning? Those who respond to it are wise; those who do not have considered neither the grace of the offer nor the consequences of their refusal. God has done all in His power to save people from their sins. The responsibility is now yours. —G. Frear

Accept now God’s offer of mercy; To Jesus, oh hasten today;
For He will receive him that cometh, And never will turn him away.
—S. M. Sayford

Exodus 40:1-38; Psalms 94:1-95:11; Acts 24:1-23

Stay with me; do not fear. For he who seeks my life seeks your life, but with me you shall be safe. 1 Samuel 22:23 NKJV

Abiathar’s family was slaughtered in a massacre ordered by cruel King Saul. Afterward, he sought security with David, who assured him of his unwavering protection. His safety was contingent on the survival and eventual victory of the Bethlehemite warriorturned-shepherd. Similarly, believers’ eternal well-being depends on the Lord’s conquest of every enemy. His triumphant death, resurrection, and ascension ensures our glorious destiny. We are united with Him by faith, as Col. 3:3 says: “For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” —Keith R. Keyser

No voice but Thine can give me rest, and bid my fears depart;
No love but Thine can make me bless’d, and satisfy my heart. —J. Newton

DAILY READINGS: Exodus 40:1-38; Psalms 94:1-95:11; Acts 24:1-23

Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Isaiah 55:6, NKJV

I was asked to visit a lady who was dying. I explained the way of salvation to her. She said, “I know all that. I heard it when I was young. I have six months to live and I will go to hell.” She died and, to my knowledge, never trusted Christ. How tragic when she could have come to Him as a young woman and lived her life for Him. If you are considering trusting Christ, don’t put it off. Accept His offer of salvation today. —J. Fleming

Too late, the words came back to me, For I had reached eternity,
I knew at last the wealth I’d lost, Yes, Christ and heaven, what
a cost! My friend, why won’t you come and say, “Dear Lord,
please cleanse my heart today,” Then you will hear at heaven’s
gate, “Come enter in” and not “Too late!” —J. F.

DAILY READINGS: Exodus 39:1-43; Psalms 92:1-93:5; Acts 23:12-35

He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no one to intercede; then his own arm brought him salvation. Isaiah 59:16

In Israel’s day the prophet described God looking upon earth and seeing no man who loved truth, righteousness and judgment. Thus no one had the desire or the capacity to intercede. So God did it Himself. It reminds us of our lost, sinful condition. There was no man who could save us from hell until the Lord Jesus Christ interceded. God stretched out His own arms on the cross and paid the price for our sins. He is our salvation. He is our hope. There is no other. Friend, trust Him today. —George Ferrier

O boundless salvation! Deep ocean of love,
O fullness of mercy, Christ brought from above. —W. Booth

Exodus 39:1-43; Psalms 92:1-93:5; Acts 23:12-35

Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. Luke 10:39
[Mary] fell down at his feet, saying … Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. John 11:32
Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus. John 12:3

A humble seeker savours a moment at the feet of omniscience. A heartbroken servant finds solace at the feet of omnipotence. A hushed sinner bows at the feet of the omnipresent One. We contemplate, cultivate and culminate our worship at His nail pierced feet. Whether for a moment or hours, such visits are a must. —David J. Reed

’Tis the Lord! oh wondrous story! ’Tis the Lord, the King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall, crown Him, crown Him, Lord of all! —B. Hanby
