Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2009 Morning For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things. “Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.” We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.—But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace.—He entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. . . . Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.—Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. 1 Tim. 2:5; Heb. 2:14; Isa. 45:22; 1 John 2:1; Eph. 2:13, 14; Heb. 9:12, 15; Heb. 7:25 (Read full verses...) Evening And my God. My soul is cast down within me. You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock. Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you.—For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and he has not hidden his face from him, but has heard, when he cried to him.—Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. “Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”— “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. . . . Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”—“Do not disbelieve, but believe.”—“And behold, I am with you always.” Ps. 42:6; Isa. 26:3, 4; Ps. 55:22; Ps. 22:24; Jas. 5:13; John 14:27; Matt. 6:25, 26; John 20:27; Matt. 28:20 (Read full verses...) << Mar 12 | Mar 13 | Mar 14 >> Excerpted from Daily Light on the Daily Path ©2002 Crossway Books, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
