Morning by Morning Devotional: Hebrews 4:9 "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God." How different will be the state of the believer in heaven from what it is here! Here he is born to toil and suffer weariness, but in the land of the immortal, fatigue is never known. Anxious to serve his Master, he finds his strength unequal to his zeal: his constant cry is, "Help me to serve Thee, O my God." If he be thoroughly active, he will have much labour; not too much for his will, but more than enough for his power, so that he will cry out, "I am not wearied of the labour, but I am wearied in it." -- C. H. Spurgeon 5:14:26 AM    comment

Daily Devotional: John 20:28 Thomas answered and said to Him, 'My Lord and my God!' Beware of anything that competes with your loyalty to Jesus Christ. The greatest competitor of true devotion to Jesus is the service we do for Him. It is easier to serve than to pour out our lives completely for Him. -- Oswald Chambers 4:55:48 AM    comment

Memory verse: Galatians 5:14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." 4:13:55 AM    comment
