MORNING
Rejoicing in hope.
HE hope which is laid up for you in
heaven.--If in this life only we have
hope in Christ, we are of all men most
miserable.--We must through much
tribulation enter into the kingdom of
God.--Whosoever doth not bear his
cross, and come after me, cannot be my
disciple.--No man should be moved by
these afflictions: for yourselves know
that we are appointed thereunto.
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again
I say, Rejoice.--The God of hope fill
you with all joy and peace in believing,
that ye may abound in hope, through
the power of the Holy Ghost.--Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, which according to his
abundant mercy hath begotten us again
unto a lively hope by the resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead.--Whom
having not seen, ye love; in whom,
though now ye see him not, yet believing,
ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and
full of glory.--By whom also we have
access by faith into this grace wherein
we stand, and rejoice in hope of the
glory of God.

EVENING
I am poor and needy; yet the Lord
thinketh upon me.
KNOW the thoughts that I think toward
you, saith the LORD, thoughts of
peace, and not of evil.--My thoughts
are not your thoughts, neither are your
ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as
the heavens are higher than the earth, so
are my ways higher than your ways, and
my thoughts than your thoughts.
How precious . . . are thy thoughts
unto me, O God! how great is the sum
of them! If I should count them, they
are more in number than the sand:
when I awake, I am still with thee.--O
LORD, how great are thy works! and
thy thoughts are very deep.--Many, O
LORD my God, are thy wonderful works
which thou hast done, and thy thoughts
which are to us-ward.
Not many mighty, not many noble,
are called.--Hath not God chosen the
poor of this world rich in faith, and
heirs of the kingdom?--Having nothing,
and yet possessing all things.--The unsearchable
riches of Christ.
