Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 Morning “If you are returning to the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you and direct your heart to the LORD and serve him only.” Little children, keep yourselves from idols.—“Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”—“You cannot serve God and money.” “You shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.”—“Serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought.” Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.—“Man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.”—Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God. 1 Sam. 7:3; 1 John 5:21; 2 Cor. 6:17, 18; Matt. 6:24; Ex. 34:14; 1 Chron. 28:9; Ps. 51:6; 1 Sam. 16:7; 1 John 3:21 (Read full verses...) Evening “When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.—Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith.—Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. “But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come.”—“Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes.”—Waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. Luke 18:8; John 1:11; 1 Tim. 4:1; 2 Tim. 4:2-4; Mark 13:32, 33; Luke 12:37; Titus 2:13 (Read full verses...) << Apr 1 | Apr 2 | Apr 3 >> Excerpted from Daily Light on the Daily Path ©2002 Crossway Books, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
