10.20 Evening:
  The Lord thy God accept thee.

Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the High God? shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.―There is none righteous, no, not one.―For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a Propitiation through Faith in His blood, to declare His Righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; to declare, . . . at this time His Righteousness: that He might be just, and the Justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Accepted in the Beloved.―Ye are complete in Him.

2Sa 24:23 Mic 6:6-8 Isa 64:6 Ro 3:10,23-26 Eph 1:6 Col 2:10

10.20 Evening:

(II Samuel 24:23)All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The Lord thy God accept thee.

(Micah 6:6-8)Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the High God? shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

(Isaiah 64:6)But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.--(Romans 3:10)As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:--(Romans 3:23-26)For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a Propitiation through Faith in His blood, to declare His Righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; to declare, I say, at this time His Righteousness: that He might be just, and the Justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

(Ephesians 1:6)To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the Beloved.--(Colossians 2:10)And ye are complete in Him, which is the Head of all principality and power:

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 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of Him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

Again, the Word for the day--Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of Him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

10.20 Morning:


I delight in the Law of God after the inward Man.

O how love I Thy Law! it is My meditation all the day.―Thy Words were found, and I did eat them; and Thy Word was unto Me the joy and rejoicing of Mine heart.―I sat down under His shadow with great delight, and His Fruit was sweet to my taste.―I have esteemed the Words of His mouth more than my necessary food.

I delight to do Thy will, O My God: yea, Thy Law is within My heart.―My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work.

The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. . . . More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.―Be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the Word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass.

Ro 7:22 Ps 119:97 Jer 15:16 So 2:3 Job 23:12 Ps 40:8 Joh 4:34 Ps 19:8,10 Jas 1:22,23
