Yet, we cling with great joy and hope the the glimpses of Gospel, even in this book. We will hear of how God's mercies are new every morning, and how God's faithfulness is great.

We will also now read an Epistle, which is a little easier to read then the Old Testament poetry and prophecy. Let us read the very profound and practical book of 1 Thessalonians.
