Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 Morning Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.— “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” For we walk by faith, not by sight.—So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.—An inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you. Col. 3:2; 1 John 2:15; Matt. 6:19-21; 2 Cor. 5:7; 2 Cor. 4:16-18; 1 Pet. 1:4 (Read full verses...) Evening “He bowed his shoulder to bear.” As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.—Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come. “Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips.—And Aaron held his peace.—“It is the LORD. Let him do what seems good to him.” Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you.—Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Gen. 49:15; Jas. 5:10; 1 Cor. 10:11; Job 2:10; Lev. 10:3; 1 Sam. 3:18; Ps. 55:22; Isa. 53:4; Matt. 11:28-30 (Read full verses...) << Mar 3 | Mar 4 | Mar 5 >> Excerpted from Daily Light on the Daily Path ©2002 Crossway Books, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
