SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY
Sit still, my daughter. 4 SEPTEMBER 2013
Take heed and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted. Be still and know that I am God..—Said I not unto thee, that, if though wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of the men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that days
Mary…… sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard His word. Mary has chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of Him who prospect in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord. His heart is established.
He that believeth shall not make haste.
SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY
The free gift is of many offences unto justification. AUG 31 2013
Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. I, even I, am he that blotteth out their transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember their sins. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that who so ever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead much more the grace of God and gift by Grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY
Who so trusteth in the Lord, happy is he. AUG 29 2013
{Abraham} staggered not all the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised he was able also to perform. The children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the Lord God of their fathers.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. It is better to put trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to put trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him in his hand.
O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the Lord, ye his saints, for there is no want to them that fear him
