AUGUST 26

MORNING

Thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and

OLINESS, without which no man shall see the Lord.--God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.--But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.--I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified.

      This is the law of the house: Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy.--Holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.

      For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.--Seeing . . . that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us . . . come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

EVENING

TASTE and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.--His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

      The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.--Whether . . . the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours.--Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.

      I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.--Godliness with contentment is great gain.--My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
