Acts 14:21-28 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia: And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled. And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. And there they abode long time with the disciples.
(1) I Love to Tell the Story
– During a Long Period of Recovery
On this early morning in my study, I write this article having just received word of the loss of a very close friend. To lose a friend is a great impoverishment, the loss of life’s dearest treasure.
The bereaved husband called to share with us that his beloved had gone to be with the Lord. In the course of our conversation, he added that someone had asked him during her illness, “Do you see the light at the end of the tunnel?” He had replied, “The light has been with us all the way. We have sensed God’s presence and closeness through the people God has sent in our life who have been a source of strength and sustenance.”
That is a statement of faith sounded in the depths of life that resonates with the radiant promises and presence of the God who gives songs in the night.

Study of the Book of Ecclesiastes
(Remember Now Thy Creator)
The Investment of a Life
Ecclesiastes 11:7-10
7 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun: 8 But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity. 9 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. 10 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
