Every day; In a special way Study God’s Word. Reading the Scripture is not neces sarily receiving its truths. Don’t let others chew your spiritual food. Do it for yourself. One look upon the face .of Jesus Christ will rivet your attention to Him or it will cause you to hide your face from Him. Does your life give light or does it cast a shadow?
