Smith: resting in grace

Tuesday, July 16, 2019
    Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099
Meditation:
    [Jesus:] I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
    —John 14:18 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Once I knew what it was to rest upon the rock of God’s promises, and it was indeed a precious resting place, but now I rest in His grace. He is teaching me that the bosom of His love is a far sweeter resting-place than even the rock of His promises.
