AUGUST 20

MORNING
God is not a man, that he should lie;
neither the son of man, that he
should repent.
HE Father of lights, with whom is
no variableness, neither shadow of
turning.--Jesus Christ the same yesterday,
and to day, and for ever.
His truth shall be thy shield and
buckler.
God, willing more abundantly to shew
unto the heirs of promise the immutability
of his counsel, confirmed it by an
oath: that by two immutable things, in
which it was impossible for God to lie,
we might have a strong consolation, who
have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the
hope set before us.
The faithful God, which keepeth covenant
and mercy with them that love
him and keep his commandments to a
thousand generations.--All the paths of
the LORD are mercy and truth unto such
as keep his covenant and his testimonies.--Happy
is he that hath the God of
Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the
LORD his God: . . . which keepeth truth
for ever.

EVENING
If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy
strength is small.
E giveth power to the faint; and to
them that have no might he increaseth
strength.--My grace is sufficient for
thee: for my strength is made perfect in
weakness.--He shall call upon me, and I
will answer him: I will be with him in
trouble; I will deliver him.--The eternal
God is thy refuge, and underneath are
the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust
out the enemy from before thee.
I looked for some to take pity, but
there was none; and for comforters,
but I found none.
Every high priest taken from among
men is ordained for men in things pertaining
to God, . . . who can have compassion
on the ignorant, and on them
that are out of the way; so also Christ,
. . . though he were a Son, yet learned he
obedience by the things which he suffered;
and being made perfect, he became
the author of eternal salvation
unto all them that obey him.--Surely he
hath borne our griefs, and carried our
sorrows.
