Daily Light - Morning
I am my beloved's
and his desire is toward me.

I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. - I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost.

The LORD taketh pleasure in his people. - My delights were with the sons of men. - His great love wherewith he loved us. - Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's - Whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
Song 7.10; 2 Tim. 1.12; Ro. 8.38-39; Jn. 17.12
Ps. 149.4; Pro. 8.31; Eph. 2.4; Jn. 15.13
1 Co. 6.20; Ro. 14.8



Daily Light - Evening
Seek ye out of 
the book of the LORD.

Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. - By the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. - Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

We have....a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts. - That we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Isa. 34.16; Deu. 11.18; Jos. 1.8
Ps. 37.31; Ps. 17.4; Ps. 119.11

​A Puritans Catechism
Q 74 - How do Baptism and the Lord's Supper become spiritually helpful?
A - Baptism and the Lord's Supper become spiritually helpful, not from any virtue in them, or in him who does administer them, but only by the blessing of Christ, and the working of the Spirit in those who by faith receive them.

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
He will come
For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come,
and will not tarry.
Hebrews 10 v 37

Christ is at this moment gathering a people from among the Gentiles. He is building up the great temple of the Lord, adding stone to stone. He cannot come till this is done. When all this is done, then He will come, and put on the top-stone, with shoutings of Grace, grace unto it.' He told Paul to remain and preach at Corinth: 'For I have much people in this city.' For the same reason He makes His ministers remain and preach on; for He has much people still. When He comes, those that are ready will enter in with Him to the marriage, and the door will be shut. There are, no doubt, many elect ones, many that were given Him by the Father.
