JANUARY 1

MORNING
This one thing I do, forgetting those
things which are behind, . . . I press
toward the mark for the prize of the
high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
ATHER, I will that they . . . whom
thou hast given to me, be with me where
I am; that they may behold my glory,
which thou hast given to me.--I know
whom I have believed, and am persuaded
that he is able to keep that which
I have committed to him against that
day.--He which hath begun a good work
in you will perform it until the day of
Jesus Christ.
Know ye not that they which run in a
race all run, but one receiveth the prize?
So run, that ye may obtain. And every
man that striveth for the mastery is temperate
in all things. Now they do it to
obtain a corruptible crown; but we an
incorruptible.--Let us lay aside every
weight, and the sin which doth so easily
beset us, and let us run with patience the
race that is set before us, looking unto
Jesus.

EVENING
The LORD, he it is that doth go before
thee; he will be with thee, he will
not fail thee.
F thy presence go not with me, carry
us not up hence.--O LORD, I know
that the way of man is not in himself:
it is not in man that walketh to direct his
steps.
The steps of a good man are ordered
by the LORD: and he delighteth in his
way. Though he should fall, he shall not be
utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth
him with his hand.
I am continually with thee: thou hast
holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt
guide me with thy counsel, and afterward
receive me to glory.--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.
