NOVEMBER 9 MORNING

 

I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out

   of the people.–PSA. 89:19.

 

I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.–There is

one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ

Jesus.–There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby

we must be saved.

 

The mighty God.–Who made himself of no reputation, and took upon him

the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being

found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto

death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly

exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.–We see

Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of

death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God

should taste death for every man.–Forasmuch . . . as the children are

partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the

same.

 

Isa. 43:11. -I Tim. 2:5. -Acts 4:12.Isa. 9:6. -Phi. 2:7-9. -Heb. 2:9.

-Heb. 2:14.

   NOVEMBER 9 EVENING

 

   Gather my saints together unto me, those that have made a covenant with

   me by sacrifice.–PSA. 50:5.

 

Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that

look for him shall he appear the second time, without sin, unto

salvation.–He is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of

death, . . . they which are called might receive the promise of eternal

inheritance.

 

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me

where I am.–Then he shall send his angels, and shall gather together

his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth, to

the uttermost part of heaven.–If any of thine be driven out unto the

outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee,

and from thence will he fetch thee.

 

The dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet be Lord in

the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

NOVEMBER 7 MORNING

 

   Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his

   wonderful works to the children of men!–PSA. 107:8.

 

O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth

in him.–How great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them

that fear thee!

 

This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my

praise.–Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus

Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the

praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in

the beloved. That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first

trusted in Christ.

 

How great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty!–The Lord is

good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. All thy

works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee. They

shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; to make

known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of

his kingdom.

   NOVEMBER 7 EVENING

 

   Behold, we count them happy which endure.–JAS. 5:11.

   We glory in tribulations: . . . knowing that tribulation worketh

   patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope

   maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our

   hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.–No chastening for the

   present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it

   yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are

   exercised thereby.–My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into

   divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh

   patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be

   perfect and entire, wanting nothing. Blessed is the man that endureth

   temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life,

   which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.–Most gladly

   therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of

   Christ may rest upon me. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

   Rom. 5:3-5. -Heb. 12:11. -Jas. 1:2-4,12. -II Cor. 12:9,10.

NOVEMBER 6 MORNING

 

   When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear

   with him in glory.–COL. 3:4.

 

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

were dead, yet shall he live.–God hath given to us eternal life, and

this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that

hath not the Son of God hath not life.

 

The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice

of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ

shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up

together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so

shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with

these words.–When he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall

see him as he is.–It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory; it

is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

 

If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you

unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

NOVEMBER 6 EVENING

 

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me–PSA. 25:5.

 

When . . . the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all

truth.–Ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

 

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this

word, it is because there is no light in them.–All scripture is given

by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for

correction, for instruction in righteousness; That the man of God may

be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.–The holy

Scriptures . . . are able to make thee wise unto salvation through

faith which is in Christ Jesus.

 

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I

will guide thee with mine eye.–The light of the body is the eye: if

therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of

light.–If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine,

whether it be of God.–The wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err

therein.

NOVEMBER 5 MORNING

 Take thou also unto thee principal spices, and thou shalt make it an

oil of holy ointment.–EXO. 30:23,25.

 

Upon man’s flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any

other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be

holy unto you.–One Spirit.–Diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

 

Thy God hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy

fellows.–God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with

power.–God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

 

Of his fulness have all we received.–As the same anointing teacheth

you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath

taught you, ye shall abide in him.–He which . . . hath anointed us, is

God; who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in

our hearts.

 

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,

goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

NOVEMBER 5 EVENING

The fashion of this world passeth away.–I COR. 7:31.

 

All the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and

he died.

Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: but the

rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he

shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning beat,

but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the

grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade

away in his ways.–For what is your life? It is even a vapour of that

appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.–The world

passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God

abideth for ever.

Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is;

that I may know how frail I am.–When they shall say, Peace and safety;

then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with

child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in

darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

NOVEMBER 4 MORNING

 

Now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold

   temptations.–I PET. 1:6.

 

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to

try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice,

inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his

glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.–The

exhortation . . . speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise

not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of

him.–Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous but

grievous: nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of

righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

 

We have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of

our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet

without sin.–For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is

able to succour them that are tempted.–God is faithful, who will not

suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able.

 

I Pet. 4:12,13. -Heb. 12:5. -Heb. 12:11.Heb. 4:15. -Heb. 2:18. -I Cor.

10:13.

NOVEMBER 4 EVENING

 

  The Prince of Peace.–ISA. 9:6.

 

He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with

judgment. The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little

hills, by righteousness. He shall come down like rain upon the mown

grass; as showers that water the earth. In his days shall the righteous

flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.–Glory

to God . . . on earth peace, good will toward men.

 

Through the tender mercy of our God; . . . the dayspring from on high

hath visited us. To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the

shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace;–peace by

Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all).

 

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In

the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have

overcome the world.–Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you:

not as the world giveth give I unto you.–The peace of God, which

passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through

Christ Jesus.

NOVEMBER 1 MORNING

   Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting

   at the posts of my doors.–PROV. 8:34.

   Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters,

   and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes

   wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

   A continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of

   the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord: where I will meet

   you, to speak there unto thee.–In all places where I record my name I

   will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.

   Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the

   midst of them.

   The hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship

   the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to

   worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship

   him in spirit and in truth.

   Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.–Pray

   without ceasing.

   NOVEMBER 1 EVENING

   His name shall be called Counsellor.–ISA. 9:6.

   The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and

   understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of

   knowledge, and of the fear of the Lord. And shall make him of quick

   understanding in the fear of the Lord.

   Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? Unto you, O

   men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man. O ye simple,

   understand wisdom: and ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. Hear;

   for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall

   be right things. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding;

   I have strength.

   The Lord of hosts . . . is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in

   working.–If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to

   all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given

   him.–Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine

   own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct

   thy paths.

   Isa. 11:2,3.Prov. 8:1,4-6,14.Isa. 28:29. -Jas. 1:5. -Prov. 3:5,6.
