Morning:
It is good for me that I have been afflicted;
that I might learn thy statutes.
Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things
which he suffered. We suffer with him, that we may be also
glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this
present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory
which shall be revealed in us.
He knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I
shall come forth as gold. My foot hath held his steps, his way
have I kept, and not declined.
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. Thou shalt also consider
in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD
thy God chasteneth thee. Therefore thou shalt keep the
commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to
fear him.
Psalms 119:71 Hebrews 5:8 Romans 8:17-18 Job 23:10-11 Deuteronomy 8:2 Deuteronomy 8:5-6
Evening:
By strength shall no man prevail.
Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a
sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee
in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of
Israel, whom thou hast defied. And David put his hand in his
bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the
Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his
forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. So David
prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone.
There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty
man is not delivered by much strength. . . . Behold, the eye of
the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in
his mercy. Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou
reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and
in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto
all.
I . . . glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may
rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in
reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for
Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
