DAILY READINGS: Numbers 6:1-27; Proverbs 3:1-35; Mark 14:53-72

Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more. Romans 5:20

Even our righteous acts are like filthy rags in the eyes of God (Isaiah 64:6). Yet, no matter how sin has revealed itself in us, there is good news—the Gospel of the grace of God. On the cross the Lord Jesus paid the price for all our sins and whether great or few, God’s grace abounds more. Friend, you may have done great harm to yourself and others. Don’t despair. Trust Christ as your Saviour today and He will immediately forgive, change and welcome you as His own. —George Ferrier

Marvellous grace of our loving Lord, Grace that exceeds our
sin and our guilt! Yonder on Calvary’s mount outpoured,
There where the blood of the Lamb was spilled. —J. H. Johnston

Numbers 6:1-27; Proverbs 3:1-35; Mark 14:53-72

And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. Exodus 25:8 NKJV
For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him. Matthew 2:2 NKJV

The tabernacle was to be a place where God and His people met and the ark of the covenant was the visible symbol of God’s presence among them. Without the ark, the tabernacle was purposeless. The weekly worship of the Lord should be a priority for us. The Lord meets us there and what is worship without His presence? Worship is the conscience reality of His presence and our occupation with Him. Let us remember Him today! —Jim Comte

According to Thy gracious Word, in meek humility,
This would I do, my dying Lord, I would remember Thee. —J. Montgomery

DAILY READINGS: Numbers 5:1-31; Proverbs 2:1-22; Mark 14:27-52

The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. John 10:11

David kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock (1 Samuel 17:34). Being a good shepherd, and prepared to lay down his life for the snatched lamb, David went after them and slew both the lion and the bear (1 Samuel 17:36). Jesus gave His life for His sheep when He faced off with the lion (Satan, our adversary, 1 Peter 5:8), and then finished off the bear when He cried out, “It is finished” (John 19:30)—His mission of bearing our sins on the cross. Thus, he slew the lion and bear—the Good shepherd had given His life for the sheep! Are you His sheep for whom He died? – K. C. Ung

I gave My life for thee, My precious blood I shed, That thou might
ransomed be, and quickened from the dead. I gave, I gave My life for
thee, what hast thou given for Me? —Frances Ridley Havergal

Numbers 5:1-31; Proverbs 2:1-22; Mark 14:27-52

For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. 2 Samuel 14:14

A lovely garden in an Edinburgh suburb also contains a reminder of a dark time in Scotland’s history. Within it is the burial place of a victim of the Great Plague of 1645. A plaque bears the solemn inscription in Latin, “Mors patet; Hora latet” meaning “Death is sure; the hour obscure”. Preparing a will for the inevitability of death, which can happen at any time, is prudent. So is preparing to meet with your Creator. It is important to get right with God. Accept His terms for salvation which He offers through what Jesus accomplished by His death on the cross. —Brian Powlesland

Time is earnest, passing by; death is earnest, drawing nigh;
Sinner wilt thou trifling be? Time and death appeal to thee. —S. Dyer

Numbers 4:1-49; Proverbs 1:1-33; Mark 14:1-26

David came to the two hundred men who had been so weary that they could not follow David … [and said] … as his part is who goes down to the battle, so shall his part be who stays by the supplies; they shall share alike. 1 Samuel 30:21-24 NKJV

David’s actions foreshadow our King’s appreciation of service. David’s rewards were based on one’s service unto exhaustion, not on their accomplishments. When we are left with only strength to guard and pray, our King transforms such efforts into wonderful outcomes and they will eventually give rise to praise, glory and honour from Him (1 Peter 1:7) at His coming. —David J. Reed

Channels only, blessed Master, but with all Thy wondrous pow’r
Flowing thro’ us, Thou canst use us, ev’ry day and eve’ry hour.  —Mary Maxwell

DAILY READINGS: Numbers 4:1-49; Proverbs 1:1-33; Mark 14:1-26

So the Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land… But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. Genesis 6:7-8 

And Noah did all that the Lord had commanded him. Genesis 7:5

We first read that God purposed to destroy all mankind. But Noah became the exception, because he was the object of God’s grace. God offers that grace to all who will believe and trust Him. “For by grace you have been saved through faith” (Ephesians 2:8). Are you saved? —Ken Gross

O, the love that drew salvation’s plan, O, the grace that brought it
down to man, O the mighty gulf that God did span; At Calvary!
—William R. Newell

Numbers 3:1-51; Psalms 148:1-150:6; Mark 13:1-37

Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse. Malachi 4:6.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Rev. 22:21

The Old Testament ends with the word “curse.” The Greek translation of the Old Testament ends with verse 4 inserted as the last verse of the chapter. This subtle shift does not change the possibility and potential of God’s judgment. The New Testament ends with the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. For us, the curse is removed due to the fact that the Lord Jesus became a curse for us. The result is that we have received grace and have no fear of
judgment. —Gary McBride

Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt! —J. Johnston

DAILY READINGS: Numbers 3:1-51; Psalms 148:1-150:6; Mark 13:1-37

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

Wages or a gift. These are two opposite concepts. Wages are something I deserve. A gift is something I don’t deserve. Wages are something I have earned. A gift is something I freely receive at some one else’s expense. A Christian is someone who knows he deserves God’s judgment but instead escapes it by receiving God’s gift. Have you received the gift or are you still working for your wages? —Sid Halsband

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me! —T. O. Chisholm

DAILY READINGS: Numbers 2:1-34; Psalm 146:1-147:20; Mark 12:18-44

He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. Isaiah 53:11

God is satisfied! The work of His soul is completed! The sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ at the cross has completely and utterly fulfilled God’s righteous demands. Now our Saviour’s sufferings are over, and as a result the power of the Gospel is completely effective to those who put their trust in Him. “It is finished” (John 19:30, KJV). Christ “once offered” (Heb. 9:28, KJV) is the amazing heart of the Gospel. God is satisfied and we are too. —Mark Fenn

O Jesus, Lord! ‘Tis joy to know thy path is o’er of shame and woe,
For us so meekly trod: All finished is Thy work of toil, Thou reapest
now the fruit and spoil; Exalted by our God. —James G. Deck

Numbers 2:1-34; Psalms 146:1-147:20; Mark 12:18-44

Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Israel hath burned. Jeremiah 36:28

Bibles have been burned by the thousands throughout history, while various governments and educational institutions have systematically done all they can to keep God’s Word out of circulation. They continue to fail because His Word is settled forever in heaven and it cannot be undone by the whims of men. The Scriptures continue to be proclaimed and taught, with men and women responding to the Gospel in repentance and faith. Take heart, fellow ambassador, the battle is the Lord’s. —Rick Morse

Open Thou mine eyes, Lord, that I may behold,
In Thy Word rich treasures, better far than gold. —Alfred Gibbs
