Devotional: September 8th

Morning:

Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

The LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are

weighed. That which is highly esteemed among men is abomination

in the sight of God. The LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man

looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the

heart. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man

soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh

shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the

Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and

lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his

soul? What things were gain to me, those I counted loss for

Christ.

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts. Thou hast

proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou

hast tried me, and shalt find nothing.

Daniel 5:27 1 Samuel 2:3 Luke 16:15 1 Samuel 16:7 Galatians 6:7-8 Matthew 16:26 Philippians 3:7 Psalms 51:6 Psalms 17:3

Evening:

Christ the firstfruits.

Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it

abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. If

the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the

root be holy, so are the branches. Now is Christ risen from

the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. If

we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we

shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. 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.

The firstborn from the dead. If the Spirit of him that

raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up

Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by

his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me,

though he were dead, yet shall he live.
