Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2009 Morning When I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me. “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.”—I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.—When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?—The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Mic. 7:8; Isa. 43:2, 3; Isa. 42:16; Ps. 23:4; Ps. 56:3, 4; Ps. 27:1 (Read full verses...) Evening One God, and . . . one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.”—An intermediary implies more than one, but God is one. We and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness. Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, . . . they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love. . . . Therefore he said he would destroy them—had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them. Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house. The covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. . . . “I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.” 1 Tim. 2:5; Deut. 6:4; Gal. 3:20; Ps. 106:6, 7, 23; Heb. 3:1, 2; Heb. 8:6, 12 (Read full verses...) << Nov 19 | Nov 20 | Nov 21 >> Excerpted from Daily Light on the Daily Path ©2002 Crossway Books, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
