10.17 Evening:

For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.  
The Lord reigneth, He is clothed with majesty; . . . Thy throne is established of old: Thou art from Everlasting.

The Lord is . . . great in power.―If God be for us, who can be against us?―Our God Whom we serve is able to deliver us.―My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand.―Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy Name give glory.―Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the Heaven and in the earth is Thine; Thine is the Kingdom, O Lord, and Thou art exalted as Head above all. . . . Now therefore, our God, we thank Thee, and praise Thy glorious Name. But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of Thee, and of Thine Own have we given Thee.

Mt 6:13 Ps 93:1,2 Na 1:3 Ro 8:31 Da 3:17 Joh 10:29 1Jo 4:4 Ps 115:1 1Ch 29:11,13,14

10.17 Evening:

(Matthew 6:13)And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: for Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

(Psalm 93:1,2)The Lord reigneth, He is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with Strength, wherewith He hath girded Himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. Thy throne is established of old: Thou art from Everlasting.

(Nahum 1:3)The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord hath His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.--(Romans 8:31)What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?--(Daniel 3:17)If it be so, our God Whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.--(John 10:29)My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand.--(I John 4:4)Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Jude 1:4 -- A Word search "Lasciviousness"

"Lasciviousness"

For there are certain men crept in unawares,
who were before of old ordained to this condemnation,
ungodly men,
turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness {G766},
and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Jude 1:4)

Strongs: G766  
766 ἀσέλγεια [A)SE/LGEIA] {asélgeia} \as-elg'-i-a\ from a compound of 1 (as a negative particle) and a presumed σελγής [SELGH/S] {selgḗs} (of uncertain derivation, but apparently meaning continent); licentiousness (sometimes including other vices):--filthy, lasciviousness, wantonness.




Mark 7:21-23 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness{G766}, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: all these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

Romans 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness{G766}, not in strife and envying.

II Corinthians 12:21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness{G766} which they have committed.

Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness{G766},idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.

Ephesians 4:19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness{G766}, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

I Peter 4:3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness{G766}, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:

II Peter 2:7-10 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy{G766} conversation of the wicked: (for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

II Peter 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness{G766}, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

Jude 1:4,16-19 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness{G766}, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. . . .These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling Words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. But, beloved, remember ye the Words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; how that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.


Jude 1:20-25
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most Holy Faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto Eternal Life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire [cp.Heb 12:28,29]; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now 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 27:1 The Lord is my Light and my Salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the Strength of my Life; of whom shall I be afraid?


The Word for the day--
Isaiah 33:2 O Lord, be gracious unto us; we have waited for Thee: be Thou their Arm every morning, our Salvation also in the time of trouble.

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

"O Lord, be gracious unto us"

Ephesians 1:6,7 . . .to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the Beloved. In Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace; . . .

I Peter 1:24-2:3 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.


"be Thou their Arm every morning"

Isaiah 51:5 My Righteousness is near; My Salvation is gone forth, and Mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon Me, and on Mine Arm shall they trust.

Isaiah 53:1-6 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the Arm of the Lord revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a Root out of a dry ground: He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

Lamentations 3:22,23 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness.


"our Salvation also in the time of trouble."

I Thessalonians 5:8,9 But let us, who are of the Day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of Faith and Love; and for an helmet, the Hope of Salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.


"we have waited for Thee"

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--Isaiah 33:2 O Lord, be gracious unto us; we have waited for Thee: be Thou their Arm every morning, our Salvation also in the time of trouble.

10.17 Morning:

In Thy Name shall they rejoice all the day: and in Thy Righteousness shall they be exalted.

In the Lord have I Righteousness and Strength: even to Him shall men come; and all that are incensed against Him shall be ashamed. In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.―Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

The Righteousness of God without the Law is manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the prophets; even the Righteousness of God which is by Faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe....To declare,... at this time His Righteousness: that He might be Just, and the Justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.―Whom having not seen, ye love; in Whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.
