Devotional Reading

The following is from my favorite daily devotional by Amy Carmichael.



2 Tim. 1:12 For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.

We commit: He undertakes. And what He undertakes He carries through. We may have to wait to see the fulfillment of our hope. We may be disappointed again and again. But Love will find the way to fulfill the promise of love. 2 Tim. 1:12 is a glorious word, and so is Hebrews 10:35: Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.

O God of Hope, how green Thy trees,
How calm each several star;
Renew us, make us fresh like these,
Calm as they are.
O what can dim his hope who sees
Though faintly and afar,
The power that kindles green in trees
And light in star?
