09.22 Evening:


O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.―He . . . became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.―In the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered.

Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?―Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Mt 26:39 Joh 12:27 6:38 Php 2:8 Heb 5:7,8 Mt 26:53 Lu 24:46,47

09.22 Evening:

(Matthew 26:39)And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

(John 12:27)Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

(John 6:38)For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.--(Philippians 2:8)And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.--(Hebrews 5:7,8)Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

(Matthew 26:53)Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?--(Luke 24:46,47)And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

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

For all flesh is as grass,
and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
but the Word of the Lord endureth for ever.
And this is the Word which by the Gospel is preached unto you.
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes,
desire the sincere milk of the Word,
that ye may grow thereby:
if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
(I Peter 1:24-2:3)

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 25:8,9 Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will He teach sinners in the Way. The meek will He guide in Judgment: and the meek will He teach His Way.


The Word for the day--
Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

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

"Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."

"My yoke is easy"


Again, the Word for the day--Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

09.22 Morning:

My meditation of Him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.

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.―For who in the Heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?

My Beloved is white and ruddy, the Chiefest among ten thousand.―One pearl of great price.―The Prince of the kings of the earth.

His head is as the most fine gold, His locks are bushy, and black as a raven.―The Head over all things.―The Head of the body, the church.

His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers.―He could not be hid.

His lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.―Never man spake like this Man.

His countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.―Make Thy Face to shine upon Thy servant.―Lord, lift Thou up the Light of Thy countenance upon us.

Ps 104:34 So 2:3 Ps 89:6 So 5:10 Mt 13:46 Re 1:5 So 5:11 Eph 1:22 Col 1:18 So 5:13 Mr 7:24 So 5:13 Joh 7:46 So 5:15 Ps 31:16 4:6
