09.30 Evening:

Shew me Thy ways, O Lord; teach me Thy paths.

Moses said unto the Lord, . . . I pray Thee, if I have found grace in Thy sight, shew me now Thy Way, that I may know Thee, that I may find grace in Thy sight: . . . My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.―He made known His ways unto Moses, His acts unto the children of Israel.

The meek will He guide in judgment: and the meek will He teach His Way.―What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall He teach in the Way that He shall choose.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

Thou wilt shew me the path of Life: in Thy presence is fulness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.―I will instruct thee and teach thee in the Way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with Mine eye.―The path of the Just is as the shining Light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect Day.

Ps 25:4 Ex 33:12-14 Ps 103:7 25:9,12 Pr 3:5,6 Ps 16:11 32:8 Pr 4:18

09.30 Evening:

(Psalm 25:4)Shew me Thy ways, O Lord; teach me Thy paths.

(Exodus 33:12-14)And Moses said unto the Lord, See, Thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and Thou hast not let me know whom Thou wilt send with me. Yet Thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in My sight. Now therefore, I pray Thee, if I have found grace in Thy sight, shew me now Thy Way, that I may know Thee, that I may find grace in Thy sight: and consider that this nation is Thy people. And He said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.--(Psalm 103:7)He made known His ways unto Moses, His acts unto the children of Israel.

(Psalm 25:9)The meek will He guide in judgment: and the meek will He teach His Way.--(Psalm 25:12)What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall He teach in the Way that He shall choose.--(Proverbs 3:5,6)Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

(Psalm 32:8)I will instruct thee and teach thee in the Way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with Mine eye.--(Proverbs 4:18)But the path of the Just is as the shining Light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect Day.

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--
Psalm 86:3-5 Be merciful unto Me, O Lord: for I cry unto Thee daily. Rejoice the Soul of Thy Servant: for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up My Soul. For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee.


Hear the entire Psalm--

"save the Son of Thine handmaid"



Again, the Word for the day--Psalm 86:3-5 Be merciful unto Me, O Lord: for I cry unto Thee daily. Rejoice the Soul of Thy Servant: for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up My Soul. For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee.

09.30 Morning:

He knoweth the Way that I take: when He hath tried Me, I shall come forth as Gold.

He knoweth our frame.―He doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.

The Foundation of God standeth sure, having this Seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, Let every one that nameth the Name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great House there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the Master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

He shall sit as a Refiner and Purifier of silver: and He shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in Righteousness.―I . . . will refine them as silver is refined, . . . they shall call on My Name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is My people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

Job 23:10 Ps 103:14 La 3:33 2Ti 2:19-21 Mal 3:3 Zec 13:9

(Job 23:10)But He knoweth the Way that I take: when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as Gold.

(Psalm 103:14)For He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.--(Lamentations 3:33)For He doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.

(II Timothy 2:19-21)Nevertheless the Foundation of God standeth sure, having this Seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, Let every one that nameth the Name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Psalm 72:17-19 His Name shall endure for ever: His Name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in Him: all nations shall call Him blessed.

"save the Son of Thine handmaid"

Psalm 86
A Prayer of David.

Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear Me: for I am poor and needy. Preserve My Soul; for I am Holy: O Thou My God, save Thy Servant that trusteth in Thee. Be merciful unto Me, O Lord: for I cry unto Thee daily. Rejoice the Soul of Thy Servant: for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up My Soul. For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee. Give ear, O Lord, unto My prayer; and attend to the Voice of My supplications. In the day of My trouble I will call upon Thee: for Thou wilt answer Me. 

Among the gods there is none like unto Thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto Thy works. All nations Whom Thou hast made shall come and worship before Thee, O Lord; and shall glorify Thy Name. For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things: Thou art God alone. Teach Me Thy Way, O Lord; I will walk in Thy Truth: unite My heart to fear Thy Name. I will praise Thee, O Lord My God, with all My heart: and I will glorify Thy Name for evermore. For great is Thy mercy toward Me: and Thou hast delivered My Soul from the lowest hell. O God, the proud are risen against Me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after My Soul; and have not set Thee before them. But Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. O turn unto Me, and have mercy upon Me; give Thy Strength unto Thy Servant, and save the Son of Thine handmaid. Shew Me a token for good; that they which hate Me may see it, and be ashamed: because Thou, Lord, hast holpen Me, and comforted Me.



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


Luke 1:30-38 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a Son, and shalt call His Name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David: and He shall reign over the House of Jacob for ever; and of His Kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that Holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to Thy Word. And the angel departed from her.

Hebrews 5:7-10 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; and being made perfect, He became the Author of Eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him; called of God an High Priest after the order of Melchisedec.


I Peter 1:10,11 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.




John 5:39 Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have Eternal Life: and they are they which testify of Me.

Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

Luke 24:44 And He said unto them, These are the Words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning Me.
