Morning:

He shall see of the travail of his soul,
[and] shall be satisfied.

Jesus . . . said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and
gave up the ghost.--He hath made him [to be] sin for us, who
knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in
him.

This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth
my praise.--To the intent that now to the principalities and
powers in heavenly [places] might be known by the church the
manifold wisdom of God, according to the eternal purpose which
he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord.--That in the ages to come
he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in [his]
kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

After ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation: in whom also after ye believed, ye were sealed with
that Holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our
inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to
the praise of his glory.--Ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a special people; that ye should
show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of
darkness into his marvellous light.

Isa 53:11 Joh 19:30 2Co 5:21 Isa 43:21 Eph 3:10,11 2:7 1:13,14
1Pe 2:9


Evening:

The day of temptation in the wilderness.

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God: for
God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust,
and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth
sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

[They] lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God
in the desert.

Jesus being full of the Holy Spirit . . . was led by the
Spirit into the wilderness, being forty days tempted by the
devil. And in those days he ate nothing: and when they were
ended, he was afterward hungry. And the devil said to him, If
thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it be made
bread.

He himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to help
them that are tempted.--Simon, Simon, . . . Satan hath desired
[to have] you, that he may sift [you] as wheat: but I have
prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not.

Heb 3:8 Jas 1:13-15 Ps 106:14 Lu 4:1-3 Heb 2:18 Lu 22:31,32

Morning:

Thy Maker [is] thine husband;
the LORD of hosts [is] his name.

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and
the church.

Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken . . . but thou shalt be
called Hephzibah, . . . for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy
land shall be married. And [as] the bridegroom rejoiceth over
the bride, [so] shall thy God rejoice over thee.--He hath
sent me . . . to comfort all that mourn; to
appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them
beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of
praise for the spirit of heaviness.

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful
in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of
salvation, . . . as a bridegroom decketh [himself] with
ornaments, and as a bride adorneth [herself] with her jewels.

I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth
thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in
lovingkindness, and in mercies.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

Isa 54:5 Eph 5:32 Isa 62:4,5 61:1-3,10 Ho 2:19 Ro 8:35


Evening:

My times [are] in thy hand.

All his saints [are] in thy hand.--The word of the LORD came
unto him, saying, Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and
hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that [is] before Jordan. And
it shall be, [that] thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have
commanded the ravens to feed thee there.--8. And the word of the
LORD came unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which
[belongeth] to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded
a widow woman there to sustain thee.

Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye
shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.--Your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto
thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he
shall direct thy paths.--Casting all your care upon him; for he
careth for you.

Ps 31:15 De 33:3 1Ki 17:2-4,8,9 Mt 6:25,32 Pr 3:5,6 1Pe 5:7

Morning:

My presence shall go [with thee],
and I will give thee rest.

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of
them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee;
he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. . . . The LORD, he [it
is] that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not
fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
--Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be
not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God [is]
with thee whithersoever thou goest.--In all thy ways acknowledge
him, and he shall direct thy paths.

He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So
that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not
fear what man shall do unto me.--Our sufficiency [is] of God.

Lead us not into temptation.--O LORD, I know that the way of
man [is] not in himself: [it is] not in man that walketh to
direct his steps.--My times [are] in thy hand.

Ex 33:14 De 31:6,8 Jos 1:9 Pr 3:6 Heb 13:5,6 2Co 3:5 Mt 6:13
Jer 10:23 Ps 31:15


Evening:

Let us consider one another to provoke
unto love and to good works.

How forcible are right words!--I stir up your pure minds by
way of remembrance.

They that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the
LORD hearkened, and heard [it], and a book of remembrance was
written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that
thought upon his name.--If two of you shall agree on earth as
touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for
them of my Father which is in heaven.

The LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be
alone.--Two [are] better than one; because they have a good
reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up
his fellow: but woe to him [that is] alone when he falleth; for
[he hath] not another to help him up.

Let . . . no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall
in [his] brother's way.--Bear ye one another's burdens, and so
fulfil the law of Christ.--Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a
fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit
of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

Heb 10:24 Job 6:25 2Pe 3:1 Mal 3:16 Mt 18:19 Ge 2:18
Ec 4:9,10 Ro 14:13 Ga 6:2,1

Morning:

Ever follow that which is good.

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also
suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow
his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; . . . but committed
[himself] to him that judgeth righteously.--Consider him that
endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye
be wearied and faint in your minds.

Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so
easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is
set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of
[our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the
cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of
the throne of God.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever
things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever
things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever
things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if
[there be] any praise, think on these things.

1Th 5:15 1Pe 2:21-23 Heb 12:3,1,2 Php 4:8


Evening:

The mighty God.

Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured
into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. Gird
thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O [most] mighty, with thy glory and
thy majesty. And in thy majesty ride prosperously. . . . Thy
throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy
kingdom [is] a right sceptre.--Thou spakest in vision to thy
holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon [one that is]
mighty.--The man [that is] my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts.

Behold, God [is] my salvation; I will trust, and not be
afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH [is] my strength and [my] song; he
also is become my salvation.--Thanks [be] unto God, which always
causeth us to triumph in Christ.

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to
present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with
exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, [be] glory and
majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever.

Isa 9:6 Ps 45:2-4,6 89:19 Zec 13:7 Isa 12:2 2Co 2:14 
Jude 1:24,25

Morning:

Reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed to sin,
but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me,
hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but
hath passed from death to life.--I through the law am dead to
the law, that I may live to God. I am crucified with Christ:
nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the
life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the
Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Because I live, ye shall live also.--I give to them eternal
life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them
out of my hand. My Father, who gave [them to] me, is greater
than all; and none is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's
hand. I and [my] Father are one.

If ye then be raised with Christ, seek those things which are
above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.--For ye
are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

Ro 6:11 Joh 5:24 Ga 2:19,20 Joh 14:19 10:28-30 Col 3:1,3


Evening:

God . . . giveth . . . liberally, and upbraideth not.

Woman, where are those thy accusers? hath no man condemned
thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do
I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

The grace of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by one
man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded to many. . . . The free gift
[is] of many offences to justification.

God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he
loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath made us alive
together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised
[us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly
[places] in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come he might show
the exceeding riches of his grace in [his] kindness toward us
through Christ Jesus.

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us
all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Jas 1:5 Joh 8:10,11 Ro 5:15,16 Eph 2:4-7 Ro 8:32

Morning:

God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.

God . . . hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and
hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, that
God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing
their trespasses to them; and hath committed to us the word of
reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though
God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be
ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him [to be] sin for us,
who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God
in him.--God is love. In this was revealed the love of God toward
us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we
loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the
propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought
also to love one another.

Joh 3:16 2Co 5:18-21 1Jo 4:8-11


Evening:

The spirit of man [is] the lamp of the LORD.

He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone
at her. . . . And they who heard [it], being convicted by [their
own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest,
[even] to the last.

Who told thee that thou [wast] naked? Hast thou eaten of the
tree, of which I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

To him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it] not, to him it
is sin.--If our heart condemneth us, God is greater than our
heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart doth not
condemn us, [then] have we confidence toward God.

All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man
who eateth with offence. . . . Happy [is] he that condemneth not
himself in what he approveth.

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my
thoughts: and see if [there is any] wicked way in me, and lead
me in the way everlasting.

Pr 20:27 Joh 8:7,9 Ge 3:11 Jas 4:17 1Jo 3:20,21 Ro 14:20,22
Ps 139:23,24

Morning:

God hath caused me to be fruitful
in the land of my affliction.

Blessed [be] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of mercies, and the God of all consolation; who
comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to
comfort them who are in any trouble, by the consolation with
which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings
of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by
Christ.

Now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through
various temptations: that the trial of your faith, being much
more precious than of gold that perisheth, though tried with
fire, might be found to praise and honour and glory at the
appearing of Jesus Christ.--The Lord stood with me, and
strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known,
and [that] all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out
of the mouth of the lion.

Let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the
keeping of their souls [to him] in well doing, as to a faithful
Creator.

Ge 41:52 2Co 1:3-5 1Pe 1:6,7 2Ti 4:17 1Pe 4:19


Evening:

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

There the wicked cease [from] troubling; and there the weary
be at rest. [There] the prisoners rest together; they hear not
the voice of the oppressor.

Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth:
. . . they . . . rest from their labours; and their works do
follow them.

Our friend Lazarus sleepeth. . . . Jesus spake of his death:
but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

We that are in [this] tabernacle do groan, being burdened.--
Ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even
we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption,
[to wit], the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope:
but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why
doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, [then]
do we with patience wait for [it].

Heb 4:9 Job 3:17,18 Re 14:13 Joh 11:11,13 2Co 5:4 Ro 8:23-25

Morning:

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not
unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways
acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Trust in him at all times; [ye] people, pour out your heart
before him: God [is] a refuge for us.

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou
shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Be ye not as the
horse, [or] as the mule, [which] have no understanding: whose
mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near
unto thee. Many sorrows [shall be] to the wicked: but he that
trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.--Thine ears
shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This [is] the way, walk
ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to
the left.

And he said unto him, If thy presence go not [with me], carry
us not up hence. For wherein shall it be known here that I and
thy people have found grace in thy sight? [is it] not in that
thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people,
from all the people that [are] upon the face of the earth.

Pr 3:5,6 Ps 62:8 32:8-10 Isa 30:21 Ex 33:15,16


Evening:

The prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Thou shalt have treasure in heaven: . . . come [and] follow
me.--I [am] . . . thy exceeding great reward.

Well done, [thou] good and faithful servant: thou hast been
faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many
things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.--They shall reign
for ever and ever.

Ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.-- The
crown of life.--A crown of righteousness.-- An incorruptible
[crown].

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be
with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou
hast given me.--So shall we ever be with the Lord.

I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not
worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed
in us.

Php 3:14 Mt 19:21 Ge 15:1 Mt 25:21 Re 22:5 1Pe 5:4 Jas 1:12
2Ti 4:8 1Co 9:25 Joh 17:24 1Th 4:17 Ro 8:18

Morning:

O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.

Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the
heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of
their masters, [and] as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of
her mistress; so our eyes [wait] upon the LORD our God.--Hear my
cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth
will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to
the rock [that] is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter
for me, [and] a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy
tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings.--
Thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the
needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm.

Christ . . . suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye
should follow his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found
in his mouth: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when
he suffered, he threatened not; but committed [himself] to him
that judgeth righteously.

Isa 38:14 Ps 123:1,2 61:1-4 Isa 25:4 1Pe 2:21-23


Evening:

Fight the good fight of faith.

We were troubled on every side; without [were] fightings,
within [were] fears.--Fear not: for they that [be] with us [are]
more than they that [be] with them.--Be strong in the Lord, and
in the power of his might.

Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a
shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the
God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.--God [is] my
strength [and] power . . . He teacheth my hands to war; so that
a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.--Our sufficiency [is] of
God.

The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear
him, and delivereth them.--Behold, the mountain [was] full of
horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

The time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and [of those] who
through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained
promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of
fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made
strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of
the aliens.

2Co 3:5 Ps 34:7 2Ki 6:17 Heb 11:32-34

Morning:

He . . . preserveth the way of his saints.

The LORD your God . . . went in the way before you, to search
you out a place to pitch your tents [in], in fire by night, to
shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.--As an
eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth
abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: [so]
the LORD alone did lead him, and [there was] no strange god with
him.--The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he
delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly
cast down: for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.--Many
[are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth
him out of them all.--For the LORD knoweth the way of the
righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.--We know
that all things work together for good to them that love God, to
them who are the called according to [his] purpose.--With him
[is] an arm of flesh; but with us [is] the LORD our God to help
us, and to fight our battles.

The LORD thy God in the midst of thee [is] mighty; he will
save, he will rejoice over thee with joy.

Pr 2:8 De 1:32,33 32:11,12 Ps 37:23,24 34:19 1:6 Ro 8:28
2Ch 32:8 Zep 3:17


Evening:

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

He [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for
our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him;
. . . and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
. . . For the transgression of my people was he stricken. . . .
It pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put [him] to grief.

Jesus our Lord . . . was delivered for our offences.--Christ
. . . hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that
he might bring us to God.--Who his own self bare our sins in his
own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live
unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

He hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we
might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made
a curse for us.

Mt 27:46 Isa 53:5,6,8,10 Ro 4:24,25 1Pe 3:18 2:24 2Co 5:21
Ga 3:13

Morning:

Thy Maker [is] thine husband;
the LORD of hosts [is] his name.

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and
the church.

Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken . . . but thou shalt be
called Hephzibah, . . . for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy
land shall be married. And [as] the bridegroom rejoiceth over
the bride, [so] shall thy God rejoice over thee.--He hath
sent me . . . to comfort all that mourn; to
appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them
beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of
praise for the spirit of heaviness.

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful
in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of
salvation, . . . as a bridegroom decketh [himself] with
ornaments, and as a bride adorneth [herself] with her jewels.

I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth
thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in
lovingkindness, and in mercies.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

Isa 54:5 Eph 5:32 Isa 62:4,5 61:1-3,10 Ho 2:19 Ro 8:35


Evening:

My times [are] in thy hand.

All his saints [are] in thy hand.--The word of the LORD came
unto him, saying, Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and
hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that [is] before Jordan. And
it shall be, [that] thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have
commanded the ravens to feed thee there.--8. And the word of the
LORD came unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which
[belongeth] to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded
a widow woman there to sustain thee.

Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye
shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.--Your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto
thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he
shall direct thy paths.--Casting all your care upon him; for he
careth for you.

Ps 31:15 De 33:3 1Ki 17:2-4,8,9 Mt 6:25,32 Pr 3:5,6 1Pe 5:7

Morning:

Thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

Who [is] a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and
passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he
retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth [in]
mercy. He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he
will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins
into the depths of the sea.

For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great
mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from
thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have
mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. I will forgive their
iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Blessed [is he whose] transgression [is] forgiven, [whose]
sin [is] covered. Blessed [is] the man unto whom the LORD
imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile.
The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Isa 38:17 Mic 7:18,19 Isa 54:7,8 Jer 31:34 Ps 32:1,2 1Jo 1:7


Evening:

I know whom I have believed,
and am persuaded that he is able.

Able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or
think.

Able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always
having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good
work.

Able to succour them that are tempted.

Able . . . to save them to the uttermost that come unto God
by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless
before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.

Able to keep that which I have committed unto him against
that day.

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like
unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is
able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Believe ye that I am able to do this? . . . According to your
faith be it unto you.

2Ti 1:12 Eph 3:20 2Co 9:8 Heb 2:18 7:25 Jude 1:24 2Ti 1:12
Php 3:21 Mt 9:28,29

Morning:

The living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.

Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping
his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I
command thee this day: lest [when] thou hast eaten and art full,
and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt [therein]; . . . then
thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God,
. . . for [it is] he that giveth thee power to get wealth.

Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that
build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh
[but] in vain. [It is] vain for you to rise up early, to sit up
late, to eat the bread of sorrows: [for] so he giveth his
beloved sleep.--They got not the land in possession by their own
sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand,
and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou
hadst a favour unto them.--[There be] many that say, Who will
shew us [any] good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy
countenance upon us.

1Ti 6:17 De 8:11,12,14,18 Ps 127:1,2 44:3 4:6


Evening:

They sung as it were a new song.

A new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us.--Not
by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to
his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and
renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly
through Jesus Christ our Saviour.--By grace are ye saved through
faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: not
of works, lest any man should boast.

Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give
glory.--Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in
his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and
his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever.
Amen.--Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood
out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.--I
beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number,
. . . cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God
which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

Re 14:3 Heb 10:20 Tit 3:5,6 Eph 2:8,9 Ps 115:1 
Re 1:5,6 5:9 7:9,10

Morning:

Jehovahjireh: The Lord will provide.

God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering.

Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot
save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear.--There shall
come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness
from Jacob.

Happy [is he] that [hath] the God of Jacob for his help, whose
hope [is] in the LORD his God.--Behold, the eye of the LORD [is]
upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; to
deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in
glory by Christ Jesus.--He hath said, I will never leave thee,
nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my
helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.--The LORD
[is] my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I
am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my
song will I praise him.

Evening:

He feedeth among the lilies.

Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am
I in the midst of them.--If a man love me, he will keep my
words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even
as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant
fruits.--I am come into my garden, my sister, [my] spouse: I
have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb
with my honey.--The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness,
temperance.

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so
shall ye be my disciples.--Every branch in me that beareth not
fruit he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he
purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.--Being filled
with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ,
unto the glory and praise of God.

Joh 15:8,2 Php 1:11

Morning:

For [there is] one God, and one mediator
between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

Forasmuch . . . as the children are partakers of flesh and
blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same.

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth:
for I [am] God, and [there is] none else.

We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the
righteous.--In Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are
made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace.--By his
own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having
obtained eternal redemption [for us].--And for this cause he is
the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for
the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first
testament, they which are called might receive the promise of
eternal inheritance.--He is able also to save them to the
uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to
make intercession for them.

Evening:

O my God, my soul is cast down within me.

Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is]
stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the
LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH [is] everlasting
strength.

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee.--
For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the
afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he
cried unto him, he heard.--Is any among you afflicted? let him
pray.

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid.--Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or
what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put
on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they
reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth
them. Are ye not much better than they?--Be not faithless, but
believing.--Lo, I am with you alway.
