may this principle rule our lives everyday in this blessed new year!

"I will place no value on anything I have or may possess except in relation to the Kingdom of God. If anything I have will advance that Kingdom, it shall be given away or kept only as by giving or keeping it I may advance the Kingdom of Him I love."

this principle David Livingstone [missionary to Africa] followed all his life.


Ps. 147:19, 20
"He has revealed His Word to Jacob, His laws and decrees to Israel. He has done this for no other nation; they do not know His laws."
Israel's highest privilege was her stewardship of the Word of God. Yahweh revealed His commands and precepts, His laws and ordinances, His judgments and decrees to Jacob's descendants. He ordained the nation as a "kingdom of priests," responsible to mediate His Word to those around them. God entrusted no other nation with such a privilege and related responsibility. Today we are surrounded by numerous translations of the Bible. Do we recognize that this privilege carries with it the same awesome responsibility to bless the nations?
Pray:
Father, we have such abundant access to Your Word that we easily take it for granted. Give us a new compassion for those without the Scriptures and without the knowledge of Christ.
