DAILY READINGS: Judges 13; Isaiah 33; 1 Corinthians 11:2-34

And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us? Genesis 42:28

When they saw their money returned, Joseph’s brothers were stricken by their consciences. We don’t need to ask God to awaken our sinner friends by bringing calamity into their lives. The “goodness of God” leads to repentance (Rom. 2:4). Show them the love of God! Look for an opportunity to clearly explain the Gospel to them, and while you continue in prayer, leave the Holy Spirit to convict them of their sin. —David Croudace

Speak just a word for Jesus, tell of His love for men!
Someone distressed will listen, willing to trust Him then. —K. O. Barker
