Daily light on the daily path. Devotional by Jonathan Bagster. February 1 MORNING Whom having not seen, ye love. I Pet. 1:8 We walk by faith, not by sight. II Cor. 5:7 We love him, because he first loved us. I John 4:19 And 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. I John 4:16 In whom ye trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise. Eph. 1:13 God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Col. 1:27 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? I John 4:20 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. John 20:29 Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. Psa. 2:12
EVENING The Lord Our Righteousness. Jer. 23:6 We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. Isa. 64:6 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. Psa. 71:16 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God: for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. Isa. 61:10 Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him. Luke 15:22 To her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. Rev. 19:8 I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord ... that I may win Christ, and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. Phil. 3:8, 9

Song 1:3 Christ ... hath loved us, and hath given himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. Eph. 5:2 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious. I Pet. 2:7 God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow. Phil. 2:9, 10 In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Col. 2:9 If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:15 The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Rom. 5:5 The house was filled with the odour of the ointment. John 12:3 They took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. Psa. 8:1 Emmanuel ... God with us. Matt. 1:23 His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isa. 9:6 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. Prov. 18:10 <><><><><> EVENING We that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened. II Cor. 5:4 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.... Mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. Psa. 38:9, 4 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? Rom. 7:24 The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves.... which have the first-fruits of the Spirit.... groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. Rom. 8:22,23 Now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations. I Pet. 1:6 Shortly I must put off this my tabernacle. II Pet. 1:14 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. I Cor. 15:53, 54 | | | |

February 17 MORNING The whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire. Lev. 4:12 They took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: where they crucified him. John 19:16, 18 The bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. Heb. 13:11-13 The fellowship of his sufferings. Phil. 3:10 Rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings: that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. I Pet. 4:13 Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. II Cor. 4:17
EVENING God created man in his own image. Gen. 1:27 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. Acts 17:29 God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ. We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Eph. 2:4, 5, 10 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. Psa. 4:6 I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. Psa. 59:16 In my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. Thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. I cried to thee, O LORD: and unto the LORD I made supplication. What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? Hear, 0 LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper. Psa. 30:6, 8-10 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. Isa. 54:7, 8 Sorrow shall be turned into joy. John 16:20 Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Psa. 30:5

Psa. 51:5 Dead in trespasses and sins; ... by nature the children of wrath, even as others. Eph. 2:1, 3 I am carnal, sold under sin. That which I do I allow not; for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do 1. I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing. Rom. 7:14, 15, 18 By one man sin entered into the world.... by one man's disobedience many were made sinners. Rom. 5:12, 19 If through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. Rom. 5:15 The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Rom. 8:2 Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. I Cor. 15:57 | | | | | |

Prov. 3:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. James 1:5 The foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. I Cor. 1:25 God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. That no flesh should glory in his presence. I Cor. 1:27, 29 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. Psa. 119:130 Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psa. 119:11 All bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth.

Lev. 25:10 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Isa. 26:19 The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. I Thess. 4:16, 17 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction.

EVENING The day of temptation in the wilderness. Heb. 3:8 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. James 1:13-15 They lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. Psa. 106:14 Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost ... was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. Luke 4:1-3 He himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Heb. 2:18 Simon, Simon, . . .

I Cor. 15:37 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. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. I Pet. 1:3, 6, 7 | | | | | |

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

Rom. 8:1 Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Rom. 5:1 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us.

James 4:7 When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

Gal. 2:19, 20 Because I live, ye shall live also. John 14:19 I give unto them eternal life: and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. John 8:10, 11 The grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many... The free gift is of many offences unto justification. Rom. 5:15, 16 God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. Eph. 2:4-7 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Rom. 8:32 | | | | | | |

| Daily light on the daily path. Devotional by Jonathan Bagster. February 28 MORNING God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 God ... hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself; not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. II Cor. 5:18-21 God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. I John 4:8-11
EVENING The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord. Prov. 20:27 He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her... And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last. John 8:7, 9 Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? Gen. 3:11 To him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. James 4:17 If our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. I John 3:20, 21 All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. Rom. 14:20, 22 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psa. 139:23, 24 | | | | | |
