Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2009 Morning “Be strong . . . work, for I am with you, declares the LORD of hosts.” “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.”—I can do all things through him who strengthens me.—Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.—“The joy of the LORD is your strength.” Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Let your hands be strong, you who in these days have been hearing these words from the mouth of the prophets.”—Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who have an anxious heart, “Be strong; fear not!”—And the LORD turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours.” If God is for us, who can be against us?—Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.—But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Evening Even the darkness is not dark to you. “For his eyes are on the ways of a man, and he sees all his steps. There is no gloom or deep darkness where evildoers may hide themselves.”—“Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? . . . Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the LORD.” You will not fear the terror of the night . . . nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness. . . . ecause you have made the LORD your dwelling place—the Most High, who is my refuge—no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent. He who keeps you will not slumber. The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all evil. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
