Daily Light - Morning
Thy name shall be called...Israel:
for as a prince hast thou power with God
and with men, and hast prevailed.

By his strenothing he had power with God: yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him. -  He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.

Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have ​them. -  If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. -  Blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Ge. 32.28; Hos. 12.3,4; Ro. 4.20
Mk. 11.22-24; Mk. 9.23; Lu. 1.45
Lu. 17.5


Daily Light - Evening 
Little children, abide in him.

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. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

I marvel that ye are so soon rremovedfrom him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another...though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace... Ye did run well; who did hinder you?

As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except ye abide in me... If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. -  For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
1 Jn.2.28; Jas. 1.6-8
Ga. 1.6-8
Ga. 5.4,7

Robert MuPray M'Cheyne- God Makes A Path
Perfect love
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. -  1 John 4 v 18
twice God spake from heaven and said, 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.' God perfectly loves His own Son. He sees infinite beauty in His person. God sees Himself manifested. He is infinitely pleased with His finished work. The infinite heart of the infinite God flows out in love towards our Lord Jesus Christ. And there is no fear in the bosom of Christ. All His fears are past. Once He said, 'While I suffer thy terrors I am distressed,' but now He is in perfect love, and perfect love casteth out fear. Hearken trembling souls! Here you may find rest to your souls. You do not need to live another hour under your tormenting fears. Jesus Christ has borne the wrath of which you are afraid. He now stands a refuge for the oppressed - a refuge in the time of trouble. Look to Christ, and you will find rest. Call upon the name of the Lord, and you be delivered.
