sripture for the day

DECEMBER 2 MORNING   

Ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.–I JOHN 2:20.

God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power.—It pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell.–Of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

Thou anointest my head with oil.–The anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but 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.

The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Acts 10:38. -Col. 1:19. -John 1:16.Psa. 23:5. -I John 2:27.John 14:26.Rom. 8:26.

DECEMBER 2 EVENING

Having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience.–HEB. 10:22.

If the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead  works to serve the living God.–The blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

We have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.

When Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people.

Moreover he sprinkled . . . with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Heb. 9:13,14. -Heb. 12:24.Eph. 1:7.Heb. 9:19,21,22.

 DECEMBER 1 MORNING 

A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the  tempest.–ISA. 32:2.

For as much . . . as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same.–The man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts.–I and my Father are one.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.–There shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.–The Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.–Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from  trouble.–Thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

Heb. 2:14. -Zech. 13:7. -John 10:30.Psa. 91:1. -Isa. 4:6. -Psa. 121:5,6.Psa. 61:2. -Psa. 32:7. -Isa. 25:4.

  DECEMBER 1 EVENING

Behold, I create new heavens and a new earth.–ISA. 65:17.

The new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, . . . so shall your seed and your name remain.We, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.

Isa. 66:22.II Pet. 3:13.Rev. 21:1-5.

  NOVEMBER 30 MORNING  

 The Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord  be with you all.–II THES. 3:16.

Peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come.—The  peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.–Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

The Comforter . . . even the Spirit of truth.–The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace.–The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

My presence shall go with thee and I will give thee rest. And he said  unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us?

Rev. 1:4. -Phi. 4:7.Luke 24:36. -John 14:27.John 15:26. -Gal. 5:22.-Rom. 8:16.Exo. 33:14-16.

NOVEMBER 30 EVENING

We glory in tribulations.–ROM. 5:3.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

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.–Sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing.

 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, rejoice.–They departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

The God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing. Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

I Cor. 15:19.I Pet. 4:12,13. -II Cor. 6:10.Phi. 4:4. -Acts 5:41.Rom. 15:13.Hab. 3:17,18.

NOVEMBER 29 MORNING

We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house.–PSA. 65:4.

One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.–He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.

He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.–I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

How excellent is thy loving kindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

Psa. 27:4.Matt. 5:6. -Luke 1:53.Psa. 107:9. -John 6:35.Psa. 36:7-9.

_______________________________________________________________       NOVEMBER 29 EVENING

Do ye now believe?–JOHN 16:31.

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? Faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son. Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead.–Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

By their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.–If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

Jas. 2:14,17.Heb. 11:17-19. -Jas. 2:21,24.Jas. 1:25.Matt. 7:20,21.John 13:17.

NOVEMBER 26 MORNING

    The Lord delighteth in thee.–ISA. 62:4.

   Thus saith the Lord that created thee, . . . Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.–Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of mine hands: thy walls are continually before me.

    The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.–My delights were with the sons of men.–The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.—They shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

    You, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight.

Isa. 43:1. -Isa. 49:15,16.Psa. 37:23. -Prov. 8:31. -Psa. 147:11. -Mal. 3:17.Col. 1:21,22.

   The sorrow of the world worketh death.–II COR. 7:10.

   When Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died.–A wounded spirit who can bear?

   Is there no balm in Gilead? is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?–The Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek: he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.–Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

   Philip preached unto him Jesus.–He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

II Sam. 17:23. -Prov. 18:14.Jer. 8:22. -Isa. 61:1-3. -Matt.11:28-30.Acts 8:35. -Psa. 147:3.

 

   NOVEMBER 25 MORNING

Being made free from sin, ye became the servants of  righteousness.  ROM.6:18.

Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.–When ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

 Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.–Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me: for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

O Lord our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

Matt. 6:24. -Rom. 6:20-22.Rom. 10:4.John 12:26. -Matt. 11:29,30.Isa.26:13. -Psa. 119:32.

NOVEMBER 25 EVENING

    Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall he saved.—ACTS 2:21.

 Manasseh did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, after the abominations of the heathen, and he reared up altars for Baal. And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord. And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.–And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, and prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.–The Lord is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish.

 II Kgs. 21:1-3,5,6. -II Chr. 33:12,13.Isa. 1:18. -II Pet. 3:9.

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.

   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.

   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.

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.
