Morning:
Permit it to be so now: for thus it is
fitting for us to fulfil all righteousness.
I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within
my heart.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:
I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say to
you, Till heaven and earth shall pass away, one jot or one
tittle shall by no means pass from the law, till all be
fulfilled. The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness’
sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. Except
your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the
scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no way enter into the kingdom
of heaven.
What the law could not do, in that it was weak through the
flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh,
and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness
of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the
flesh, but according to the Spirit. Christ is the end of the
law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Matthew 3:15 Psalms 40:8 Matthew 5:17-18 Isaiah 42:21 Matthew 5:20 Romans 8:3-4 Romans 10:4
Evening:
I am thy part and thy inheritance.
Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon
earth that I desire besides thee. My flesh and my heart
faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion
for ever. The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my
cup: thou maintainest my lot. The lines have fallen to me in
pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I
hope in him.
Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for
they are the rejoicing of my heart.
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul
thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and
thirsty land, where no water is. . . . Because thou hast been my
help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
My beloved is mine, and I am his.
