Daily Light on the Daily Path

Devotional: December 8th

Morning:

By love serve one another.

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are

spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness;

considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one

another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one

convert him; let him know, that he which converteth the sinner

from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and

shall hide a multitude of sins. 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. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another:

for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. Be kindly

affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour

preferring one another. Yea, all of you be subject one to

another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the

proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

We . . . that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the

weak, and not to please ourselves.

Evening:

The dust return to the earth as it was.

It is sown in corruption; . . . it is sown in dishonour;

. . . it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: it is sown

a natural body. The first man is of the earth, earthy.

Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. One dieth

in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. . . . And

another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth

with pleasure. They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the

worms shall cover them.

My flesh . . . shall rest in hope. Though after my skin

worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.

The Lord Jesus Christ . . . shall change our vile body, that it

may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the

working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto

himself.

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days,

what it is; that I may know how frail I am. So teach us

to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
