Psalms 25 – 28
Psalms 26: 8
I have loved the habitation of THY house.
The psalmist’s happiness does not come from associating with the world but from being in the house and congregation of the LORD where GOD’s presence and power are manifested among His people where GOD’s glory dwells.
OLD TESTAMENT

Judges 11: 12 – 40
Judges 11: 29 – 40
Several important lessons are to be learned from Jephthah’s vow.
1. There may be remainders of distrust and doubting, even in the hearts of true and great believers.
2. Our vows to GOD should not be as a purchase of the favour we desire, but to express gratitude to HIM.
3. We need to be very well-advised in making vows, lest we entangle ourselves.
4. What we have solemnly vowed to GOD, we must perform, if it be possible and lawful, though it be difficult and grievous to us.
5. It well becomes children, obediently and cheerfully to submit to their parents in the LORD.
It is hard to say what Jephthah did in performance of his vow; but it is thought that he did not offer his daughter as a burnt offering. Such a sacrifice would have been an abomination to the LORD; it is supposed she was obliged to remain unmarried, and apart from her family. Concerning this and some other such passages in the sacred history, about which learned men are divided and in doubt, we need not perplex ourselves; what is necessary to our salvation, thanks be to GOD, is plain enough. If the reader recollects the promise of CHRIST concerning the teaching of the HOLY SPIRIT, and places HIMSELF under this HEAVENLY TEACHER, the HOLY GHOST will guide to all truth in every passage, so far as it is needful to be understood.

1 Timothy 6: 17 – 21 and 2 Timothy 1: 1 – 5
2 Timothy 1: 4
Greatly desiring to see thee.
For the second time, Paul is now a prisoner in Rome. This time Paul is anticipating execution. He has been forsaken by many of his friends and is longing to see Timothy once more. He begs his co- worker to remain faithful to the truth of the gospel and to hurry to come to him during his last days on earth.

Away in an obscure corner of Asia Minor, the greatest event of world’s history had taken place: The advent of Jesus Christ and the founding of the Christian Church.
