Hear this evening's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
03.12 Evening:
Things that are pleasing in His sight.
Without Faith it is impossible to please Him.--So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.--The Lord taketh pleasure in His people.
This is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. . . .If, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.--The ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, . . . is in the sight of God of great price.
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.--I will praise the Name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving. This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
I beseech you, . . .brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Here it is again with the full verses and references
03.12 Evening:
(Hebrews 11:6)But without Faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a Rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.--(Romans 8:8)So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.--(Psalm 149:4)For the Lord taketh pleasure in His people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.
(I Peter 2:19,20)For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.--(I Peter 3:4)But let it be the hidden Man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet Spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
(Psalm 50:23)Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.--(Psalm 69:30,31)I will praise the Name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving. This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
(Romans 12:1)I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
