01.13 Evening:

Let not the sun go down upon your wrath.

If thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. . . . 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.―When ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.―Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

The apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

Eph 4:26 Mt 18:15,21,22 Mr 11:25 Col 3:12,13 Eph 4:32 Lu 17:5

01.13 Evening:

(Ephesians 4:26)Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

(Matthew 18:15)Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. . . .(Matthew 18:21,22)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. --(Mark 11:25)And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

(Colossians 3:12,13)Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.--(Ephesians 4:32)And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

(Luke 17:5)And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

Eph 4:26 Mt 18:15,21,22 Mr 11:25 Col 3:12,13 Eph 4:32 Lu 17:5

Romans 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
I Peter 5:11 To Him be Glory and Dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

The LORD is gracious

The LORD is gracious,
and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
(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--
Lamentations 3:26-27 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the Salvation of the Lord. It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.


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

"hope . . .for the Salvation of the Lord"

I John 3:1-3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that hath this Hope in him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.

I Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; . . .


"quietly wait for the Salvation of the Lord"

Psalm 37:5-7 Commit thy Way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. And He shall bring forth thy Righteousness as the Light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 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.
 
II Thessalonians 3:5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

Again, the Word for the day--Lamentations 3:26-27 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the Salvation of the Lord. It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

01.13 Morning:

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee.
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.―I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?―Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.―In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.

The effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.―Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.―Peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come.
