Daily Light - Morning
I am with thee to save thee.
 
Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee....and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty one of Jacob. - Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

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. - In that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. - The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: an he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. 
Jer. 15.20; Isa. 49.24-25,26; Isa. 41.10
He. 4.15; He. 2.18; Ps. 37.23-24




Daily Light - Evening
He satisfieth the longing soul,
and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

Ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; to see thy power and thy glory. - My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. - Having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better.

I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. - They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the mist 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. - They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. - My people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
Love for eternity
So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish.
Job 8 v 13

A hypocrite lives for time. This was all Judas lived for if he could pass off for a while as a true disciple, if he could keep up appearances for a time, if he could indulge his lusts, and yet be esteemed a believer, and a true apostle. He tried to keep up appearances to the last. So Demas wanted to deceive Paul for this life - to be thought a brother. Alas, how many of you are thus foolish! Living so as to keep up an appearance of being a Christian for a little time, though you know that you are living in positive sin, and that you will be discovered before the world in a short time. You only are truly wise who live for eternity, who live as you shall wish you had done when you come to di.
