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

09.02 Evening:

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.

The wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, . . . There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.―Rest in the Lord.―He that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works.

Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace.―That we . . . be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.

I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

Ps 23:2 Isa 57:20,21 Mt 11:28 Ps 37:7 Heb 4:10 13:9 Eph 4:14,15 So 2:3,4

09.02 Evening:

(Psalm 23:2)He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.

(Isaiah 57:20,21)But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

(Matthew 11:28)Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.--(Psalm 37:7)Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.--(Hebrews 4:10)For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

(Hebrews 13:9)Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.--(Ephesians 4:14,15)That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

(Song of Solomon 2:3,4)As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
