Morning:
Let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.
If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and
take up his cross daily, and follow me. Whoever he is of you
that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness.
Every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all
things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we
an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so I
fight, not as one that beateth the air: but I keep under my
body, and bring it into subjection: lest by any means, when I
have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one
thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and
reaching forward to those things which are before, I press
toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the
LORD.

Evening:
It is good for a man that he should
bear the yoke in his youth.
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old,
he will not depart from it.
We have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we
gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection
to the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few
days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our
profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy
word. . . . It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that
I might learn thy statutes.
I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD,
thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time.
