Daily Light - Morning
In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin:
but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

My beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. - He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. - By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. - Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

Christ....suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously. - Consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

In their mouth was found no guile: for they ware without fault before the throne of God.
Pro. 10.19; Jas. 1.19; Pro. 16.32; Jas. 3.2; Mt. 12.37; Ps. 141.3
1 Pe. 2.21-23; He. 12.3
Rev. 14.5



Daily Light - Evening
Teach me thy way, O LORD.

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. - Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. - Having....boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; and having an high priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith.

Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD. - All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
Ps. 27.11; Ps. 32.8; Ps. 25.8-9
Jn. 10.9
Jn. 14.6; He. 10.19-22
​Hos. 6.3; Ps. 25.10


​
​A Puritans Catechism
Q 44 - Which is the second commandment?
A - The second commandment is, Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the their and forth generation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Send up this cry
Wilt thou not receive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
Psalm 85 v 6

The soul of a believer needs grace every moment. "By the grace of God I am what I am." But there are times when he needs more grace than at other times. Just as the body continually needs food; but there are times when it needs more food than at others - times of great bodily exertion, when all the powers are to be put forth.
Sometimes the soul of a believer is exposed to hot persecution. Reproach breaks the heart; or it beats like a scorching sun upon the head. "For my love thy are my adversaries." Sometimes they are God's children who reproach us, and this is still harder to bear. The soul is ready to fret or sink under it.
Sometimes it is flattery that tempts the soul. The world speaks well of us, and we are tempted to pride and vanity. This is still worse to bear.
Sometimes Satan strives within us, by stirring up fearful corruptions, till there is a tempest within. Oh, is there a tempted soul that reads these words? Jesus prays for thee. Pray for thyself. You need more peace. Nothing but the oil of the Spirit will feed the fire of grace when Satan is casting water on it. Send up this cry, "Wilt thou not revive us again?"
