Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2009 Morning “God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.” Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.—Saved by his life. Our . . . Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.—But as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ . . . has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.—For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him.—And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Acts 3:26; 1 Pet. 1:3; Rom. 5:10; Titus 2:13, 14; 1 Pet. 1:15, 16; Eph. 1:3; Col. 2:9, 10; John 1:16; Rom. 8:32 (Read full verses...) Evening Strengthen me according to your word! Remember your word to your servant, in which you have made me hope.—O Lord, I am oppressed; be my pledge of safety! “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.”—“You know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one word has failed of all the good things that the LORD your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one of them has failed.” “Fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage.” And as he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”—“Be strong, all you people of the land, declares the LORD. Work, for I am with you, declares the LORD of hosts.”—“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts.” Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
