Morning:
In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin:
but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
My beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to
speak, slow to wrath. He that is slow to anger is better
than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that
taketh a city. In many things we offend all. If any man offend
not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to
bridle the whole body. By thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Set a watch, O LORD,
before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also
suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow
his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered,
he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth
righteously. Consider him that endured such contradiction of
sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your
minds.
In their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault
before the throne of God.
Proverbs 10:19 James 1:19 Proverbs 16:32 James 3:2 Matthew 12:37 Psalms 141:3 1 Peter 2:21-23 Hebrews 12:3 Revelation 14:5
Evening:
Teach me thy way, O LORD.
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou
shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Good and upright
is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. The
meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his
way.
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,
and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Having. boldness
to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and
living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil,
that is to say, his flesh; and having an high priest over the
house of God; let us draw near with a true heart in full
assurance of faith.
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD. All
the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep
his covenant and his testimonies.
Psalms 27:11 Psalms 32:8 Psalms 25:8-9 John 10:9 John 14:6 Hebrews 10:19-22 Hosea 6:3 Psalms 25:10
