​Daily Light - Morning
I pray God your whole spirit and soul and
body be preserved blameless unto the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it....that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or nay such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. - Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

The peace of God which passeth all understanding. - Let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body.

Our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. - Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Daily Light - Evening
Will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth?

Let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. - I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory. And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.

Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.

Ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. - Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you. - Ye....are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

The heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

The answer to your prayer
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
John 4 v 14

My dear friends, have you received the Holy Ghost, since you believed? It appears to me that few Christians realise this river flowing after them. Oh what inexpressible love and grace there is in this work of the SPirit. Is there any of you weak and faint, and ready to perish under a wicked heart, and raging lusts? Or, have you got a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet you, and you are driven to pray that it may be taken from you? See here the answer to your prayer. A river of living water flows from Christ. There is enough here for all your wants: 'My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. 'Some of you are afraid of the future; you fear some approaching temptation, you fear some coming contest. See here the river flows after you - the Spirit will abide with you for ever. Oh what love is here. Notwithstanding all your sinfulness, weakness and unbelief, still he abides with you, and will for ever. He is 'a well of water springing up into everlasting life' (John 4 v 14).
