01.05 Evening:

Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?―They provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

A whisperer separateth chief friends.―There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.―The tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. . . . Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

Put off . . . anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds.―This is the will of God, even your sanctification.―In their mouth was found no guile.

Ps 141:3 130:3 106:33 Mt 15:11 Pr 16:28 12:18,19 Jas 3:8,10 Col 3:8,9 1Th 4:3 Re 14:5

The LORD is gracious

The LORD is gracious,

(Psalm 145:8)

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 17:15 As for me, I will behold Thy Face in Righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.


The Word for the day--
Psalm 27:8 When Thou saidst, Seek ye My Face; my heart said unto Thee, Thy Face, Lord, will I seek.

01.05 Morning:

We which have believed do enter into rest.

They . . . weary themselves to commit iniquity.―I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.―Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by Whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

He that is entered into His rest, he also hath ceased from his own works.―Not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.―This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing.

Heb 4:3 Jer 9:5 Ro 7:23,24 Mt 11:28 Ro 5:1,2 Heb 4:10 Php 3:9 Isa 28:12
