Today's Scripture

Insight 

Renewal is one of the themes in Psalm 103 (see vv. Psalm 103:3–5). It’s also a prominent theme in other Old Testament Scriptures: “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles” (Isaiah 40:31); “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10), and “Restore us to yourself, Lord, that we may return; renew our days as of old” (Lamentations 5:21). In the New Testament, we learn that the final renewal of all things will come when Jesus returns: “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel” (Matthew 19:28). Meanwhile, believers in Jesus are being daily renewed by the Holy Spirit at work in their lives (Romans 12:22 Corinthians 4:16).

A Threshing Floor

A Threshing Floor In the ancient world, farmers used threshing floors to separate grain from its inedible husk (chaff) by beating it with a flail or walking animals on it—sometimes while towing a threshing sledge. Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
