02.29 Evening:

Thou art the Same, and Thy years shall have no end.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God.

I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.―The same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with Whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.―The gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent.―It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.

This Man, because He continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.―Fear not; I am the First and the Last.

Ps 102:27 90:2 Mal 3:6 Heb 13:8 Jas 1:17 Ro 11:29 Nu 23:19 La 3:22 Heb 7:24,25 Re 1:17

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.

Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]

02.29 Morning:

Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.―Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. . . . Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

What is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.―The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Pr 27:1 2Co 6:2 Joh 12:35,36 Ec 9:10 Lu 12:19-21 Jas 4:14 1Jo 2:17



Here it is again with the full verses and references

02.29 Morning:

(Proverbs 27:1)Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

(II Corinthians 6:2)(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)--(John 12:35,36)Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

(Ecclesiastes 9:10)Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

(Luke 12:19-21)And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

(James 4:14)Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

(I John 2:17)And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Pr 27:1 2Co 6:2 Joh 12:35,36 Ec 9:10 Lu 12:19-21 Jas 4:14 1Jo 2:17



I Timothy 4:15,16 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.


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. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be His Glorious Name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with His glory; Amen, and Amen.


II Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
