One Year Bible: August 24

To read today’s portion of scripture, you can purchase The One Year Bible or find the following in your Bible:

Job 12:1-15:35
1 Corinthians 15:29-58
Psalm 39:1-13
Proverbs 21:30-31

I saw the first of these signs in Scotland, I believe, in an area where there was a lot of road construction going on. Apparently, if you find yourself stranded within these random pockets of rescue, all you have to do is wait and someone will come along to “recover you.” It struck me then, and I couldn’t shake the thought. So when the same signs began popping up on the road somewhere between York and London, I had to take a picture.

“Free recovery … Await rescue.” Has ever the gospel been expressed so simply, so succinctly?
I’m waiting for You, Jesus. Please hurry.

* * *For the reward of sin is death; but what God freely gives is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23) Let not your heart be troubled: have faith in God and have faith in Me. In My Father’s house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you? And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with Me, so that you may be where I am. (John 14:1-3) … in the twinkling of an eye … (1 Corinthians 15:52)
