02.06 Evening:
I am . . . the bright and morning Star.

There shall come a Star out of Jacob.

The night is far spent, the Day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of Light.--Until the Day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my Beloved, and be Thou like a roe or a young hart upon the Mountains of Bether.

Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.

I am the Light of the world--I will give him the morning Star.

Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a Man taking a far journey, Who left His house, and gave authority to His servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore . . .Lest coming suddenly He find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

02.06 Evening:

(Revelation 22:16)I Jesus have sent Mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning Star.

(Numbers 24:17)I shall see Him, but not now: I shall behold Him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.

(Romans 13:12)The night is far spent, the Day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of Light.--(Song of Solomon 2:17)Until the Day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my Beloved, and be Thou like a roe or a young hart upon the Mountains of Bether.

(Isaiah 21:11,12)The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.

(John 8:12)Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the Light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.--(Revelation 2:28)And I will give him the morning Star.

(Mark 13:33-37)Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a Man taking a far journey, Who left His house, and gave authority to His servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the Master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: lest coming suddenly He find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

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 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--
Deuteronomy 30:6 And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.


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

"And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed,"

Colossians 2:9-12 For in Him [the Lord Jesus Christ] dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him, which is the Head of all principality and power: In Whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the Faith of the operation of God, Who hath raised Him from the dead.

Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Isaiah 26:12 Lord, Thou wilt ordain Peace for us: for Thou also hast wrought all our works in us.


"to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live."

Matthew 22:37,38 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.

Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

I Timothy 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

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.

I John 4:8,9 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is Love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.



Again, the Word for the day--Deuteronomy 30:6 And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

02.06 Morning:


The grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with Faith and Love which is in Christ Jesus.

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.--Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

That in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through Faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the Gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.--Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law, but by the Faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the Faith of Christ, and not by the works of the Law: for by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified.--According to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour.

1Ti 1:14 2Co 8:9 Ro 5:20 Eph 2:7-9 Ga 2:16 Tit 3:5,6

(I Timothy 1:14)And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with Faith and Love which is in Christ Jesus.

(II Corinthians 8:9)For 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.--(Romans 5:20)Moreover the Law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

(Ephesians 2:7-9)That in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through Faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the Gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.--(Galatians 2:16)Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law, but by the Faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the Faith of Christ, and not by the works of the Law: for by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified.--(Titus 3:5,6)Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
