John 17:15 Blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world. Phil. 2:15 Ye are the salt of the earth.... the light of the world. Matt. 5:13, 14 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matt. 5:16 I also withheld thee from sinning against me. Gen. 20:6 The Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. II Thess. 3:3 So did not I, because of the fear of God. Neh. 5:15 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father. Gal. 1:4 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever Amen.

EVENING Whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. (Or, set on high.) Prov. 29:25 The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high.

Eph. 2:4-6 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us ail things? For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

August 12 MORNING The Lord will not cast off for ever: but though he cause griefs yet will he have compassion. Lam. 3:31, 32 Fear thou not.... saith the LORD: for I am with thee; ... I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure. Jer. 46:28 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. For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee. O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. Isa. 54:7, 8, 10, 11 I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness. Micah 7:9 <><><><><><>
EVENING God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. I Cor. 1:27 When the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud.... a man lefthanded. After him was Shamgar... which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel. Judg. 3:15, 31 The LORD looked upon [Gideon], and said, Go in this thy might: ... have not I sent thee? And he said unto him, O my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house. Judg. 6:14, 15 The LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me.... lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. Judg. 7:2 Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Zech. 4:6 My brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Eph. 6:10 | | | | |

Wherefore comfort one another with these words. I Thess. 4:17, 18 <><><><><>
EVENING Base things of the world hath God chosen. I Cor. 1:28 Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. I Cor. 6:9-11 You hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind. Eph. 2:1-3 According to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour.

I Chron. 22:5 Ye ... as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house. I Pet. 2:5 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

II Thess. 2:13, 14 God ... hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. II Tim. 1:9 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. Psa. 139:16 God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Daily light on the daily path. Devotional message by Jonathan Bagster. August 22 MORNING None of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. Rom. 14:7 Whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. Rom. 14:8 Let no man seek his own: but every man another's wealth. I Cor. 10:24 Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. I Cor. 6:20 Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better. Phil. 1:20-23 I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
