02.03 Evening:

The darkness hideth not from Thee.
His eyes are upon the ways of man, and He seeth all his goings. There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.--Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? . . . Do not I fill Heaven and earth? saith the Lord.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness. . . . Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my Refuge, even the most High, thy Habitation; there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.--He that keepeth thee will not slumber. . .The Lord is thy Keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me.

Ps 139:12 Job 34:21,22 Jer 23:24 Ps 91:5,6,9,10 121:3,5-7 Ps 23:4

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 18:1,2 I will love Thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my Rock, and my Fortress, and my Deliverer; my God, my strength, in Whom I will trust; my Buckler, and the Horn of my salvation, and my high Tower.


The Word for the day--
Ephesians 3:14-19 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of Whom the whole family in Heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in Love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

02.03 Morning:

Be strong, . . . and work: for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts:
I am the Vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.--I can do all things through Christ Which strengtheneth me.--Strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.--The joy of the Lord is your strength.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these Words by the mouth of the prophets--Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not.--Go in this thy might,

If God be for us, who can be against us?--Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.--Thanks be to God, Which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
