Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2009 Morning “I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and be careful to obey my rules.” But as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct.—Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. . . . If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.—For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God.—For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God.—Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.—Now may the God of peace . . . equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ. Ezek. 20:19; 1 Pet. 1:15; 1 John 2:6, 29; 1 Cor. 7:19; Jas. 2:10; 2 Cor. 3:5; Ps. 119:33; Phil. 2:12, 13; Heb. 13:20, 21 (Read full verses...) Evening “I have exalted one chosen from the people.” For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect.—Seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness with a human appearance.—“He who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.”—“See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” [He] made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow.—“Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.” Ps. 89:19; Heb. 2:16, 17; Ezek. 1:26; John 3:13; Luke 24:39; Phil. 2:7-10; Rev. 3:2 (Read full verses...) << May 16 | May 17 | May 18 >> Excerpted from Daily Light on the Daily Path ©2002 Crossway Books, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
