10.19 Evening:

Consolation in Christ, . . . comfort of Love, . . . fellowship of the Spirit.

Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.―My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the Strength of my heart, and my Portion for ever.

The Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever. . . .The Holy Ghost, Whom the Father will send in My Name.―Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. . . . And so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

10.19 Evening:

(Philippians 2:1)If there be therefore any Consolation in Christ, if any comfort of Love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

(Job 14:1,2)Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.--(Psalm 73:26)My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the Strength of my heart, and my Portion for ever.

(John 14:16)And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; . . .(John 14:26)But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, Whom the Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.--(II Corinthians 1:3,4)Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

(I Thessalonians 4:14)For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. . . .(I Thessalonians 4:17,18)Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

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 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 49:6 And He said, It is a light thing that Thou shouldest be My Servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give Thee for a Light to the Gentiles, that Thou mayest be My Salvation unto the end of the earth.

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

"And He said, It is a light thing that Thou shouldest be My Servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give Thee for a Light to the Gentiles, that Thou mayest be My Salvation unto the end of the earth."

Luke 2:25-32 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him after the custom of the Law, Then took he Him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in Peace, according to Thy Word: For mine eyes have seen Thy Salvation, which Thou hast prepared before the face of all people; a Light to lighten the Gentiles, and the Glory of Thy people Israel..

Psalm 98:1-3 O sing unto the Lord a New Song; for He hath done marvellous things: His Right Hand, and His Holy Arm, hath gotten Him the Victory. The Lord hath made known His Salvation: His Righteousness hath He openly shewed in the sight of the heathen. He hath remembered His mercy and His truth toward the House of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the Salvation of our God.

Romans 15:8-13 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a Minister of the circumcision for the Truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to Thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto Thy Name. And again He saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with His people. And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud Him, all ye people. And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a Root of Jesse, and He that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in Him shall the Gentiles trust. Now the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in Hope, through the Power of the Holy Ghost.


Again, the Word for the day--Isaiah 49:6 And He said, It is a light thing that Thou shouldest be My Servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give Thee for a Light to the Gentiles, that Thou mayest be My Salvation unto the end of the earth.

10.19 Morning:

The Lord shall be thy Confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee: the remainder of wrath shalt Thou restrain.―The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: He turneth it whithersoever He will.―When a man's ways please the Lord, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in His Word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.―I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

The Eternal God is thy Refuge, and underneath are the Everlasting Arms: and He shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.―Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose Hope the Lord is.

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Pr 3:26 Ps 76:10 Pr 21:1 16:7 Ps 130:5,6 34:4 De 33:27 Jer 17:7 Ro 8:31
