Commentary
One morning in 1872, David Livingstone wrote this in his diary: “March 19, my birthday. My Jesus, my King, my Life, my All, I again dedicate my whole self to Thee. Accept me, and grant, O gracious Father, that ere the year is gone I may finish my work. In Jesus’ name I ask it. Amen.”
Just one year later, servants came to check on their master’s delay. They found him on his knees in prayer. He was dead.
