Daily Light - Morning
Take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or,
What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be
clothed?....for your heavenly Father knoweth
that ye have need of all these things.

O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. - No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly: O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

I would have you without carefulness - Be careful for nothing: but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. - Why are ye so fearful? how is it that you have no faith? - Have faith in God.
Mt. 6.31,32; Ps. 34.9-10; Ps. 84.11-12
1 Co. 7.32; Phil. 4.6
Mt. 10.29-31; Mk. 4.40; Mk. 11.22



Daily Light - Evening
He spread a cloud for a covering;
and fire to give light in the night.

Like as a father pittieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. - There shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.

The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.... The LORD shall preserve the going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. - The LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: he took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Ps. 105.39; Ps. 103.13-14

Of Sanctification
Chapter 13
PARAGRAPH 1
​
They who are united to Christ, effectually called, and regenerated, having a new heart and a new spirit created in them through the virtue of Christ's death and resurrection, are also farther sanctified, really and personally,  (1)  through the same virtue, by his Word and Spirit dwelling in them;  (2)  the dominion of the whole body of sin is destroyed,  (3)  and the several lusts of it are more and more weakened and mortified,  (4)  and they more and more quickened and strengthened in all saving graces,  (5)  to the practice of all true holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.  (6)
(1)-Acts 20.32; Rom. 6.5-6  (2)-John 17.17; Eph. 3.16-19; 1 Thess. 5.21-23  (3)-Rom. 6.14  (4)-Gal. 5.24  (5)-Col. 1.11  (6)-2Cor. 7.1; Heb. 12.14

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
The heart of Christ
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
​Hebrews 2 v 9
​
The four Gospels are a narrative of the heart of Christ. They show His compassion to sinners, and His glorious work in their stead. If you only knew that heart as it is, you would lay your weary head with John on His bosom. Do not take up your time so much with studying your own heart as with studying Christ's heart. 'For one look at yourself, take ten looks at Christ!'
