09.30 Evening:

Shew me Thy ways, O Lord; teach me Thy paths.

Moses said unto the Lord, . . . I pray Thee, if I have found grace in Thy sight, shew me now Thy Way, that I may know Thee, that I may find grace in Thy sight: . . . My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.―He made known His ways unto Moses, His acts unto the children of Israel.

The meek will He guide in judgment: and the meek will He teach His Way.―What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall He teach in the Way that He shall choose.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

Thou wilt shew me the path of Life: in Thy presence is fulness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.―I will instruct thee and teach thee in the Way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with Mine eye.―The path of the Just is as the shining Light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect Day.

Ps 25:4 Ex 33:12-14 Ps 103:7 25:9,12 Pr 3:5,6 Ps 16:11 32:8 Pr 4:18

(Psalm 25:4)Shew me Thy ways, O Lord; teach me Thy paths.

(Exodus 33:12-14)And Moses said unto the Lord, See, Thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and Thou hast not let me know whom Thou wilt send with me. Yet Thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in My sight. Now therefore, I pray Thee, if I have found grace in Thy sight, shew me now Thy Way, that I may know Thee, that I may find grace in Thy sight: and consider that this nation is Thy people. And He said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.--(Psalm 103:7)He made known His ways unto Moses, His acts unto the children of Israel.

(Psalm 25:9)The meek will He guide in judgment: and the meek will He teach His Way.--(Psalm 25:12)What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall He teach in the Way that He shall choose.--(Proverbs 3:5,6)Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

The LORD is gracious

For all flesh is as grass,
and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
but the Word of the Lord endureth for ever.
And this is the Word which by the Gospel is preached unto you.
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes,
desire the sincere milk of the Word,
that ye may grow thereby:
if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
(I Peter 1:24-2:3)

The Word for the YEAR--
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. 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.


The Word for the month--
Psalm 25:8,9 Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will He teach sinners in the Way. The meek will He guide in Judgment: and the meek will He teach His Way.


The Word for the day--
Psalm 86:3-5 Be merciful unto Me, O Lord: for I cry unto Thee daily. Rejoice the Soul of Thy Servant: for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up My Soul. For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee.

09.30 Morning:

He knoweth the Way that I take: when He hath tried Me, I shall come forth as Gold.

He knoweth our frame.―He doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.

The Foundation of God standeth sure, having this Seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, Let every one that nameth the Name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great House there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the Master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

He shall sit as a Refiner and Purifier of silver: and He shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in Righteousness.―I . . . will refine them as silver is refined, . . . they shall call on My Name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is My people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

"save the Son of Thine handmaid"

Psalm 86
A Prayer of David.

Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear Me: for I am poor and needy. Preserve My Soul; for I am Holy: O Thou My God, save Thy Servant that trusteth in Thee. Be merciful unto Me, O Lord: for I cry unto Thee daily. Rejoice the Soul of Thy Servant: for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up My Soul. For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee. Give ear, O Lord, unto My prayer; and attend to the Voice of My supplications. In the day of My trouble I will call upon Thee: for Thou wilt answer Me. 

Among the gods there is none like unto Thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto Thy works. All nations Whom Thou hast made shall come and worship before Thee, O Lord; and shall glorify Thy Name. For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things: Thou art God alone. Teach Me Thy Way, O Lord; I will walk in Thy Truth: unite My heart to fear Thy Name. I will praise Thee, O Lord My God, with all My heart: and I will glorify Thy Name for evermore. For great is Thy mercy toward Me: and Thou hast delivered My Soul from the lowest hell. O God, the proud are risen against Me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after My Soul; and have not set Thee before them. But Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. O turn unto Me, and have mercy upon Me; give Thy Strength unto Thy Servant, and save the Son of Thine handmaid. Shew Me a token for good; that they which hate Me may see it, and be ashamed: because Thou, Lord, hast holpen Me, and comforted Me.

Luke 1:30-38 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a Son, and shalt call His Name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David: and He shall reign over the House of Jacob for ever; and of His Kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that Holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to Thy Word. And the angel departed from her.

Hebrews 5:7-10 Who in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared; though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered; and being made perfect, He became the Author of Eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him; called of God an High Priest after the order of Melchisedec.


I Peter 1:10,11 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.




John 5:39 Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have Eternal Life: and they are they which testify of Me.

Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

Luke 24:44 And He said unto them, These are the Words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning Me.

What things soever . . . [the Father] doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

The Lord giveth Wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.―I will give you a mouth and Wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart.―My grace is sufficient for Thee: for My Strength is made perfect in weakness.

"Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour."

Numbers 28:1-8 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and My Bread for My sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto Me, shall ye observe to offer unto Me in their due season. And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the Lord; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a continual burnt offering. The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even; and a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil. It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord. And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb: in the Holy Place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the Lord for a drink offering. And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

I John 4:10,11 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 5:1-3 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth Him that begat loveth Him also that is begotten of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous.

II Corinthians 2:14-17 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place. For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: to the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? For we are not as many, which corrupt the Word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His Life for us.

The love of Christ, which passeth knowledge.―Greater love hath no man than this, that a Man lay down His Life for His friends.―Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.―Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.―Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.―Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.―For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His Life a Ransom for many.―Christ . . . suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps.

09.28 Evening:

The Heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handywork.

The invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His Eternal Power and Godhead.―He left not Himself without witness.―Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

When I consider Thy Heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; what is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the Son of man, that Thou visitest Him?

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead.―They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to Righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto Me.

I Corinthians 1:30,31 But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, Who of God is made unto us Wisdom, and Righteousness, and Sanctification, and Redemption: that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.

Again, the Word for the day--Proverbs 4:10,11 Hear, O My Son, and receive My sayings; and the years of Thy Life shall be many. I have taught Thee in the Way of Wisdom; I have led thee in Right paths.

They shall put My Name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.

O Lord our God, other lords beside Thee have had dominion over us: but by Thee only will we make mention of Thy Name.―We are Thine: Thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by Thy Name.

All people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the Name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.―The Lord will not forsake His people for His Great Name's sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you His people.

O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for Thine Own sake, O my God: for Thy City and Thy people are called by Thy Name.―Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Thy Name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for Thy Name's sake. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God?

The Name of the Lord is a Strong Tower: the Righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

Matthew 5:1-3

Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--

"And seeing the multitudes"

Matthew 4:23-25-5:1-3 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the Kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. And His fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto Him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. And there followed Him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan. And seeing the multitudes, He went up into a mountain: and when He was set, His disciples came unto Him: and He opened His mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matthew 9:36-38 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith He unto His disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into His harvest.



"He went up into a mountain"

Mark 3:13 And He goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto Him whom He would: and they came unto Him.

Micah 4:1,2 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for the Law shall go forth of Zion, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Ezekiel 34:13,14 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.



"when He was set {G2523}His disciples came unto Him"

Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our Faith; Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down {G2523}at the right hand of the throne of God.

Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit {G2523} with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down{G2523}with My Father in His throne.


John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My Word, then are ye My disciples indeed;

Proverbs 2:6 For the Lord giveth Wisdom: out of His mouth cometh Knowledge and Understanding.

Song of Solomon 5:16 His mouth is most sweet: yea, He is altogether lovely. This is my Beloved, and this is my Friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.



"Blessed are the poor in spirit"

Proverbs 16:19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the Lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Psalm 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

James 1:9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:

Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the High and Lofty One that inhabiteth Eternity, Whose Name is Holy; I dwell in the High and Holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Isaiah 66:2 For all those things hath Mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at My Word.



"for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven" 

Romans 14:17 For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but Righteousness, and Peace, and Joy in the Holy Ghost.

Daniel 7:18 But the saints of the Most High shall take the Kingdom, and possess the Kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.

Daniel 7:27 And the Kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the Kingdom under the whole Heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, Whose Kingdom is an Everlasting Kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him.

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, . . . Luke 4:43 And He said unto them, I must preach the Kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.

Luke 12:31,32 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

I may not return with thee, . . . for it was said to me by the Word of the Lord, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest. He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the Word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him. So he went back with him, . . .

Humble yourselves therefore under the Mighty Hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.

Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

O Lord, Thou art our Father; we are the clay, and Thou our Potter; and we all are the work of Thy Hand. Be not wroth very sore, O Lord, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech Thee, we are all Thy people.―Thou hast chastised Me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn Thou Me, and I shall be turned; for Thou art the Lord My God. Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon My thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of My youth.―It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

Affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

Death is swallowed up in Victory.

Thanks be to God, which giveth us the Victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Forasmuch . . . as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

If we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him: knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him. For in that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God.

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ.

Judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, Who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.―The Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: ... Because He is the Son of man.―The Son of God, ... hath His eyes like unto a flame of fire.

They say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?―These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.―There is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

Lord, all my desire is before Thee; and my groaning is not hid from Thee.―Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

(Romans 2:16)In the Day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

(I Corinthians 4:5)Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, Who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.--(John 5:22)For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:...(John 5:27)And hath given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of man.-- (Revelation 2:18)And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, Who hath His eyes like unto a flame of fire, and His feet are like fine brass;

(Psalm 73:11)And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?--(Psalm 50:21)These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.--- (Luke 12:2)For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

(Psalm 38:9)Lord, all my desire is before Thee; and my groaning is not hid from Thee.--- (Psalm 26:2)Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

"seventy times seven"

Then came Peter to Him, and said,
Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?
till seven times?
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times:
but, Until seventy times seven.
Matthew 18:21,22

Matthew 18:23-35

Therefore is the Kingdom of Heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
