Daily light.

I acquired a devotional from the Trinitarian Bible Society called Daily LIght.

For today it gives these passages:

Morning

Come, you blessed of my Father. Possess the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Do not be afraid, little flock; for it has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom. (Luke 12:32) ... Has not God chosen the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that God has promised to those who love him? (James 2:5) ... heirs of God, but also co-heirs with Christ, yet in such a way that, if we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified with him. (Romans 8:17) ...

For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me. (John 16:27)... God is not ashamed to be called their God. For he has prepared a city for them. (Hebrews 11:16)

... Whoever prevails shall possess these things. And I will be his God, and he shall be my son. (Revelation 21:7) ... As for the remainder, a crown of justice has been reserved for me, one which the Lord, the just judge, will render to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to those who look forward to his return. Hurry to return to me soon. (2 Timothy 4:8) ... I am confident of this very thing: that he who has begun this good work in you will perfect it, unto the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:6)​

Evening

... riches do not last for ever, crowns do not hand themselves on from age to age. (Proverbs 27:24)

every human being that walks only a shadow; a mere puff of wind is the wealth stored away -- no knowing who will profit from it.' (Psalms 39:6) ... Let your thoughts be on things above, not on the things that are on the earth, (Colossians 3:2) ... 'Do not store up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moth and woodworm destroy them and thieves can break in and steal. But store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, ... For wherever your treasure is, there will your heart be too. (Matthew 6:19-21)

... this is to win a wreath that will wither, whereas ours will never wither. (1 Corinthians 9:25) ... since what we aim for is not visible but invisible. ... (2 Corinthians 4:18) ... whoever sows uprightness reaps a solid reward. (Proverbs 11:18) ... all there is to come for me now is the crown of uprightness which the Lord, the upright judge, will give to me on that Day; and not only to me but to all those who have longed for his appearing. (2 Timothy 4:8) ... the unfading crown of glory. (1 Peter 5:4)​

Morning

... Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening. (Genesis 24:63)

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. (Psalms 19:14)

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? (Psalms 8:3-4) ... Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who delight in them. (Psalms 111:2)

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. (Psalms 1:1-2) ... This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night ... (Joshua 1:8) ... My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night (Psalms 63:5-6)​

EVENING

How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord! for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

Every good gift, and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. — But Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her suckling child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.

Thou shalt not be forgotten of me. I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins.

Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. — A woman ... cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David! But he answered her not a word.

The trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth.​

[MoreCoffee]

MORNING

My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all ... things shall be added unto you. — He that spared not his Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him freely give us all things? — All things are your's: whether Paul or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come: all are your's: and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. — As having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. — The Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will be withheld from them that walk uprightly. — The living God, ... giveth us richly all things to enjoy. — God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.​

EVENING

What communion hath light with darkness?

Men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. — Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Darkness hath blinded his eyes. — Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

The dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. — Love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness
Ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.​

[MoreCoffee]

MORNING

The fruit of the Spirit is joy.

Joy in the Holy Ghost. — Unspeakable and full of glory.
Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; ... exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. — We glory in tribulations.
Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; ... for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame. — These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be fuIl. — As the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. — The joy of the Lord is your strength.
In thy presence is fulness of joy: at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. — For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.​

EVENING

Jehovah‑shalom: (The Lord send peace.)

Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.

Behold, a greater than Solomon is here. — Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. — My people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places; when it shall hail, coming down on the forest ; and the city shall be low in a low place.

He is our peace. — This man shall be the peace when the Assyrian shall come into our land.

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings.

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.​

[MoreCoffee]

MORNING

If ye do return unto the Lord with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve him only.

Little children, keep yourselves from idols. — Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. — Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.

Thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. — Serve him with a perfect heart with a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts.

Behold, thou desireth truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. — Man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. — Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.​

[MoreCoffee]

EVENING

When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

He came unto his own, and his own received him not. — The Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall from the faith.

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables.

Of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. — Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching. — Looking for that blessed hope, ... the glorious appearing of the great God, and our Saviour Jesus Christ,​

[MoreCoffee]

MORNING

Beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness.

My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, ... so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall acomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!​

II PET. 3:8,9. Isa. 55:8‑11. Rom. 11:32,33.​

 

[MoreCoffee]

EVENING

Ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning.

The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? — We had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us. — The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. — Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men.

Be instant in season, out of season. — Others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire.

Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. — Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.​

MORNING

Fear not; I am the first and the last.

Ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, but ye are come unto mount Sion, ... to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant. — Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. — We have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, aud his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. — The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Art thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, mine Holy One? — Who is God, save the Lord? and who is a rock, save our God?​

[MoreCoffee]

EVENING

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. — He knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. — Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. — Thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heaven.

Who is a rock save our God? — They shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. — Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. — Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil.​

MORNING

I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

Let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.

O woman, great is thy faith; be it unto thee even as thou wilt. — According to your faith be it unto you. — Let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

They drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and [Jesus] made as though he would have gone further. But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: ... he vanished out of their sight. And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? — I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight. — My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.​

Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. — Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last: I am he.

Sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. — The very God of peace sanctify you wholly: and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. — He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. — Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? — The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me.

It is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.​

He ever liveth to make intercession.

Who is he that condemneth? it is Christ that died ... who also maketh inter-cession for us. — Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. — There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

Seeing ... that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

The Prince of Peace. — He is our peace. — Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. — Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help. — As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.​
