Morning:
Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure
to give you the kingdom. Hath not God chosen the poor of this
world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath
promised to them that love him? Heirs of God, and joint-heirs
with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be
also glorified together.
The Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me. God
is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for
them a city.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be
his God, and he shall be my son. There is laid up for me a
crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge,
shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them
also that love his appearing. He which hath begun a good work
in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 25:34 Luke 12:32 James 2:5 Romans 8:17 John 16:27 Hebrews 11:16 Revelation 21:7 2 Timothy 4:8 Philippians 1:6
Evening:
Riches are not for ever:
and doth the crown endure to every generation?
Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are
disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who
shall gather them. Set your affection on things above, not on
things on the earth. Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon
earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break
through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in
heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure
is, there will your heart be also.
They do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an
incorruptible. We look not at the things which are seen, but at
the things which are not seen. To him that soweth righteousness
shall be a sure reward. There is laid up for me a crown of
righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give
me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that
love his appearing. A crown of glory that fadeth not away.
