MORNING
The king held out . . . the golden sceptre
that was in his hand. So Esther
drew near, and touched the top of
the sceptre.
T shall come to pass, when he crieth
unto me, that I will hear; for I am
gracious.
We have known and believed the love
that God hath to us. God is love; and
he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God,
and God in him. Herein is our love
made perfect, that we may have boldness
in the day of judgment: because as
he is, so are we in this world. There is no
fear in love; but perfect love casteth out
fear: because fear hath torment. He
that feareth is not made perfect in love.
We love him, because he first loved us.
Let us draw near with a true heart, in
full assurance of faith, having our hearts
sprinkled from an evil conscience, and
our bodies washed with pure water.--For
through him we . . . have access by
one Spirit unto the Father.--We have
boldness and access with confidence by
the faith of him.--Let us therefore come
boldly unto the throne of grace, that
we may obtain mercy, and find grace to
help in time of need.

EVENING
They said, . . . It is manna: for they wist
not what it was.
ITHOUT controversy great is the
mystery of godliness: God was
manifest in the flesh.--The bread of
God is he which cometh down from
heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
Your fathers did eat manna in the
wilderness, and are dead. If any man
eat of this bread, he shall live for ever:
and the bread that I will give is my
flesh, which I will give for the life of the
world. My flesh is meat indeed, and
my blood is drink indeed.
The children of Israel . . . gathered,
some more, some less. He that gathered
little had no lack. They gathered
it every morning, every man according
to his eating.
Take no thought, saying, What shall
we eat? or, What shall we drink? . . .
Your heavenly Father knoweth that ye
have need of all these things. But seek
ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall
be added unto you.
