DECEMBER 4 MORNING

Where shall wisdom be found?–JOB 28:12.

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. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.–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.–The only wise God.—Be not wise in thine own eyes.

Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.

Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.  Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.–All things whatsoever ye shall ask in  prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

DECEMBER 4 EVENING

I would not live alway.–JOB 7:16.

And I said, O that I had wings like a dove, for then would I fly away, and be at rest. I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

In this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.–Having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better.

Let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who, for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down

at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Psa. 55:6,8.II Cor. 5:2,4. -Phi. 1:23.Heb. 12:1-3.John 14:27.

Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read  it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord. And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord.

It shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.–The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon  him as long as I live.

and their feet thereat: when they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; . . . they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not.–Your body is  the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you.–If any man defile the  temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy,  which temple ye are. In my flesh shall I see God: whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another.–There shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth.–Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity.–I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

 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.

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

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.

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

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.

your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye

transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is

that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.–As ye have

yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto

iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto

holiness.–In Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor

uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to

this rule, peace be on them, and mercy.

my disciples.–I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go

and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that

Return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.

Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all

iniquity, and receive us graciously.

 

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God. But every man

is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Do not

err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is

from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no

variableness, neither shadow of turning.

 

Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine

heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.–It is good that a man should both

hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.–Shall not God

avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear

long with them?

 

Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. My soul,

wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
