Morning:
The disciple is not above his master.
Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and
the servant as his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will
also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep
yours also. I have given them thy word; and the world hath
hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not
of the world.
Consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners
against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye
have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so
easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is
set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of
our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the
cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of
the throne of God. Forasmuch as Christ hath suffered for
us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind.
Matthew 10:24 John 13:13 Matthew 10:25 John 15:20 John 17:14 Hebrews 12:3-4 Hebrews 12:1-2 1 Peter 4:1
Evening:
My son, give me thine heart.
O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear
me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well
with them, and with their children for ever!
Thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Because the
carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to
the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in
the flesh cannot please God.
They first gave their own selves to the Lord. In
every work that Hezekiah began to seek his God, he did
it with all his heart, and prospered.
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the
issues of life.
Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord. As the
servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; with
good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men.
I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt
enlarge my heart.
