Morning:
Thy name is as ointment poured forth.
Christ . . . hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an
offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. To
you therefore who believe he is precious. God also hath
highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every
name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow. In him
dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
If ye love me, keep my commandments. The love of God is shed
abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given to us.
The house was filled with the odour of the ointment. They took
knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the
earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. Emmanuel . . .
God with us. His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth
into it, and is safe.
Song of Solomon 1:3 Ephesians 5:2 1 Peter 2:7 Philippians 2:9-10 Colossians 2:9 John 14:15 Romans 5:5 John 12:3 Acts 4:13 Psalms 8:1 Matthew 1:23 Isaiah 9:6 Proverbs 18:10
Evening:
We that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened.
Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not
hid from thee. . . . My iniquities have gone over my head: as an
heavy burden they are too heavy for me. O wretched man that I
am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together
until now. And not only they, but ourselves . . ., who have
the firstfruits of the Spirit, . . . groan within ourselves,
waiting for the adoption, that is, the redemption of our body.
Now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through
various temptations.
Shortly I must put off this my tabernacle. For this
corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put
on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on
incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,
then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death
is swallowed up in victory.
2 Corinthians 5:4 Psalms 38:9 Psalms 38:4 Romans 7:24 Romans 8:22-23 1 Peter 1:6 2 Peter 1:14 1 Corinthians 15:53-54
