Hear this evening's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]

08.17 Evening:

As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto Wisdom.―What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Surely the people is grass. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the Word of our God shall stand for ever.―The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.―Use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.―Let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the Day approaching.

Ps 103:15,16 90:12 Mr 8:36 Isa 40:7,8 1Jo 2:17 2Co 6:2 1Co 7:31 Heb 10:24,25
