Morning:
Oh that thou wouldest keep me from evil.
Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Two things have I required of thee; deny them not to me
before I die: remove far from me vanity and lies: give me
neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or
lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in
vain.
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve
thy soul. I will deliver thee from the hand of the wicked, and
I will redeem thee from the hand of the terrible. He that is
begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth
him not.
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will
keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all
the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. The Lord
knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations.
1 Chronicles 4:10 Luke 22:46 Matthew 26:41 Proverbs 30:7-9 Psalms 121:7 Jeremiah 15:21 1 John 5:18 Revelation 3:10 Psalms 34:19 2 Peter 2:9
Evening:
One star differeth from another star in glory.
By the way they had disputed among themselves, who should
be the greatest. And he sat down, and called the twelve, and
saith to them, If any man desireth to be first, the same shall
be last of all, and servant of all. Be clothed with humility:
for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that
he may exalt you in due time.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who
. . . made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form
of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. Wherefore
God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is
above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow.
They that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the
firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars
for ever and ever.
