MARCH 23

MORNING

HOU art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.--Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. . . . I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.--To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.--I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour.--I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

      As he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.--Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?--Ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.--Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

      Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.--I am come into my garden.--I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain.

      Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.--I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.--Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.--The world seeth me no more; but ye see me.
