Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2009 Morning “For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.” Our Savior Christ Jesus . . . abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.—“I am the resurrection and the life.”—“Because I live, you also will live.”—We share in Christ.—Those . . . who have shared in the Holy Spirit.—Partakers of the divine nature.—“The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. . . . Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” . . . who lives forever and ever.—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality.—To the King of ages, immortal, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. John 5:26; 2 Tim. 1:10; John 11:25; John 14:19; Heb. 3:14; Heb. 6:4; 2 Pet. 1:4; 1 Cor. 15:45, 51, 52; Rev. 4:8, 9; 1 Tim. 6:15, 16; 1 Tim. 1:17 (Read full verses...) Evening Let us not become conceited. And Gideon said to them, “Let me make a request of you: every one of you give me the earrings from his spoil.” (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.) And they answered, “We will willingly give them.” And they spread a cloak, and every man threw in it the earrings of his spoil. . . . And Gideon made an ephod of it and put it in his city, in Ophrah. And all Israel whored after it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and to his family. “And do you seek great things for yourself? Seek them not.”—So to keep me from being too elated by the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.—Love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way. “Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me.” Gal. 5:26; Judg. 8:24, 25, 27; Jer. 45:5; 2 Cor. 12:7; Phil. 2:3; 1 Cor. 13:4, 5; Matt. 11:29 (Read full verses...) << May 17 | May 18 | May 19 >> Excerpted from Daily Light on the Daily Path ©2002 Crossway Books, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
