Jonathan Bagster's Daily Light on the Daily Path (Daily)
Morning:
Sit still, my daughter.
Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted.--
Be still, and know that I [am] God.--Said I not unto thee, that,
if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?--
The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of
men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in
that day.
Mary, . . . sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.--Mary
hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from
her.--In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and
in confidence shall be your strength.--Commune with your own
heart upon your bed, and be still.
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not
thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the
man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed,
trusting in the LORD. His heart [is] established.
He that believeth shall not make haste.
Ru 3:18 Isa 7:4 Ps 46:10 Joh 11:40 Isa 2:17 Lu 10:39,42
Isa 30:15 Ps 4:4 37:7 112:7,8 Isa 28:16
Evening:
What I do thou knowest not now;
but thou shalt know hereafter.
Thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led
thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and]
to prove thee, to know what [was] in thine heart, whether thou
wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
When I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time
[was] the time of love; . . . yea, I sware unto thee, and
entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou
becamest mine.--Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth.
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial
which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto
you: but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's
sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be
glad also with exceeding joy.--Our light affliction, which is
but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding [and]
eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which
are seen, but at the things which are not seen.
Joh 13:7 De 8:2 Eze 16:8 Heb 12:6 1Pe 4:12,13 2Co 4:17,18
