Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2009 Morning Sing to the LORD a new song. Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the God of Jacob! Raise a song; sound the tambourine, the sweet lyre with the harp.—He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD. “Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”—“The joy of the LORD is your strength.”—Paul thanked God and took courage. Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. Isa. 42:10; Ps. 81:1, 2; Ps. 40:3; Josh. 1:9; Neh. 8:10; Acts 28:15; Rom. 13:11-14 (Read full verses...) Evening Let my prayer be counted as incense before you, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice! “You shall make an altar on which to burn incense. . . . And you shall put it in front of the veil that is above the ark of the testimony, in front of the mercy seat that is above the testimony, where I will meet with you. And Aaron shall burn fragrant incense on it . . . And when Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight, he shall burn it, a regular incense offering before the LORD throughout your generations.” Consequently, [Jesus] is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.—And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. You yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Pray without ceasing. Ps. 141:2; Ex. 30:1, 6-8; Heb. 7:25; Rev. 8:4; 1 Pet. 2:5; 1 Thess. 5:17 (Read full verses...) << Jan 1 | Jan 2 | Jan 3 >> Excerpted from Daily Light on the Daily Path ©2002 Crossway Books, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
