Devotional: January 5th

Morning:

We who have believed do enter into rest.

They . . . weary themselves to commit iniquity. I see

another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind,

and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my

members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the

body of this death?

Come to me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I

will give you rest. Being justified by faith, we have peace

with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have

access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice

in hope of the glory of God.

He that hath entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from

his own works. Not having my own righteousness, which is from

the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the

righteousness which is from God by faith. This is the rest

with which ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the

refreshing.

Hebrews 4:3 Jeremiah 9:5 Romans 7:23-24 Matthew 11:28 Romans 5:1-2 Hebrews 4:10 Philippians 3:9 Isaiah 28:12

Evening:

Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth;

keep the door of my lips.

If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall

stand? They provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly

with his lips.

Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that

which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

A whisperer separateth chief friends. There is that speaketh

like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is

health. The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a

lying tongue is but for a moment. The tongue can no man tame;

it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. . . . Out of the

same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these

things ought not so to be.

Put off . . . anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy

communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing

ye have put off the old man with his deeds. This is the will of

God, even your sanctification. In their mouth was found no

guile.
