Daily Light - Morning
I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

Let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.

O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. - According to your faith be it unto you. - Let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For 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.

They drew nigh unto the village, whither they went; and [Jesus] made as though he would have gone further. But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us...he vanished out of their sight. And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? - I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight. - My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
Ge. 32.26; Isa. 27.5

Daily Light - Evening
Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. - Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.

Sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. - The very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. - He which hath begun a good work in you will preform it until the day of Jesus Christ. - Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? - The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me.

It is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

PARAGRAPH 3

The books commonly called Apocrypha, not being of divine inspiration, are no part of the canon or rule of the Scripture, and, therefore, are of no authority to the church of God, nor to be any otherwise approved or made use of than other human writings.  (6)
6 Luke 24-27,44; Rom. 3.2



Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
Precious to Him
The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter?
​Lamentations 4 v 2

How amazing the love of Christ, that He died for us - such poor, weak flowers, and worms of a day! How safe are we in Jesus! Although we are nothing - fleeing like a shadow - yet in Him we abide for ever. Our very dust is precious dust to Him. Body and soul He will bring with Him, and we shall reign for ever and ever. O you that are in Christ, prize Him! You that are in doubt, solve it now by hasting to Him. You that are out of Him, choose Him now.
