Morning:
Endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a
leader and commander to the people. It became him, for whom
are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many
sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect
through sufferings. We must through much tribulation enter into
the kingdom of God.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God. We
do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare
are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of
strong holds).
The God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal
glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make
you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

Evening:
The unity of the Spirit.
There is one body, and one Spirit. Through him we both
have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are
no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the
saints, and of the household of God; and are built upon the
foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself
being the chief corner stone; in whom all the building fitly
framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: in whom
ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through
the Spirit.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon
the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard:
that went down to the skirts of his garments.
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth
through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see
that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently.
Ephesians 4:3-4 Ephesians 2:18-22 Psalms 133:1-2 1 Peter 1:22
