Daily readings, thoughts from Graham. Pilgrims on the Way to the shrine of the apostle James in Spain shout a greeting to one another: “Ultreya!”; "Keep going", "Press on", “Onward”.

One who will stretch and empower you beyond your wildest expectations
Morning: Psalms 107:33-43; 108:1-6; 2 Kings 19:21-36; I Cor 10:1-13
Jesus
demands much of his followers … it won’t be easy. You may not know
where you will sleep tonight. Also, Jesus regards some of your stifling
family obligations as a sort of living death. His work is to bring
life; that work takes priority. Storms will come and you must trust him
to help you weather them. What sort of man is this Jesus? One thing
is sure … he will test you, as God will test you also. And his good
purposes will be realized in you by his stretching you – and empowering
you – beyond your wildest expectations.
