Daily Light - Morning
His left hand is under my head,
and his right hand doth embrace me.

Underneath are the everlasting arms, - when [Peter] saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? - The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders. - Casting all your care upon him, for he careth for you. - He that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

They shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all.
Song 2.6; Deu. 33.27; Mt. 14.30-31; Ps. 37.23-24

Daily Light - Evening
Who is she that looketh forth as the morning,
fair as the moon, clear as the sun,
and terrible as an army with banners?

The church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

There appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun. - The marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. - The righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe.

The glory which thou gavest me I have given them.
Song 6.10; Ac. 20.28
Eph. 5.25-27

The 1689
Baptist Confession of Faith
Of Effectual Calling
Chapter 10
PARAGRAPH 2
​
This effectual call is of God's free and special grace alone, not from anything at all foreseen in man, nor from any power or agency in the creature,  (7)  being wholly passive therein, being dead in sins and trespasses, until being quickened and renewed by the Holy Spirit;  (8)  he is thereby enabled to answer this call, and to embrace the grace offered and conveyed in it, and that by no less power than that which raised up Christ from the dead.  (9)
(7)-2 Tim. 1.9; Eph. 2.8  (8)-1 Cor. 2.14; Eph. 2.5; John 5.25  (9)-Eph. 1.19-20

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
Fear not
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Hebrews 11 v 27
​
You remember when Elisha and his servant were in Dothan, and a great host of enemies compassed them in, the young man cried, Alas, my master, how shall we do? and Elisha answered, Fear not, for they that be with us, are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, 'Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see.' And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full o fhorses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
Dear brethren, believe what you do not see. Live by faith in a Covenant-keeping God. 'God is faithful, who also will do it.'
