Daily Light - Morning
The Lord was my stay.

Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel. - The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, an dthe horn of my salvation, and my high tower. - Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them... The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. - The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. - So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. - For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God? It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

By the grace of God I am what I am.

Daily Light - Evening
All we like sheep have gone astray.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. - There is none righteous, no, not one: there is none that understandeth... They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable.

Ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. - I have gone astray like a lost sheep;; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

PARAGRAPH 1
The Lord our God is but one only living and true God;1 whose subsistence is in and of Himself,2 infinite in being and perfection; whose essence cannot be comprehended by any but Himself;3 a most pure spirit,4 invisible, without body, parts, or passions, who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto;5 who is immutable,6 immense,7 eternal,8 incomprehensible, almighty,9 every way infinite, most holy,10 most wise, most free, most absolute; working all things according to the counsel of His own immutable and most righteous will,11 for His own glory;12 most loving, gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin; the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him,13 and withal most just and terrible in His judgments,14 hating all sin,15 and who will by no means clear the guilty.16

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
Equally righteous
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, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridgroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. - Isaiah 61 v 10
I have seen a family of children all dressed alike, that none might boast over the others, all being equally fair. So it is with God's family. They are all righteous in the obedience of one. One garment covers them all - the robe of their elder Brother. Believers differ in attainments, in gifts and graces, but all are equally justified before God. It is not work of their own that justifies them, it is the work of Christ alone. Ah, brethren! there in so boasting in Christ's family.
