Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2008 Morning Light dawns in the darkness for the upright. Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of his servant? Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.—Though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand.—For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light. Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me. I will bear the indignation of the LORD because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my cause and executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light; I shall look upon his vindication. “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!” Ps. 112:4; Isa. 50:10; Ps. 37:24; Prov. 6:23; Mic. 7:8, 9; Matt. 6:22, 23 (Read full verses...) Evening He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young. “I have compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”—For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses. And they were bringing children to him. . . . And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant.—“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”—For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”—“I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD.” Isa. 40:11; Matt. 15:32; Heb. 4:15; Mark 10:13, 16; Ps. 119:176; Luke 19:10; 1 Pet. 2:25; Luke 12:32; Ezek. 34:15 (Read full verses...) << Dec 18 | Dec 19 | Dec 20 >> Excerpted from Daily Light on the Daily Path ©2002 Crossway Books, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
