♥MAY 15 MORNING ♥God shall wipe away all tears: ... there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, ... for the former things are passed away. ♥He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of His people shall He take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.♥Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine Everlasting Light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.♥The inhabitant shall not say,...

♥MAY 14 EVENING ♥They overcame ... by the blood of the Lamb. ♥Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died.♥It is the Blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.♥I am the LORD. The Blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the Blood, I will pass over you. ♥There is ... no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. ♥What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence...

♥MAY 14 MORNING ♥The fellowship of His sufferings. ♥It is enough for the disciple that he be as His master, and the servant as his Lord. ♥He is despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. ♥In the world ye shall have tribulation. ♥Because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. ♥I looked for some to take pity, but there was none. ♥At...

♥EVENING MAY 13 ♥My heart pants, my strength fails me. ♥Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. ♥He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For when I am weak, then am I strong. ♥When (Peter) saw the wind boisterous, he was...

MORNING MARCH 13 ♥There is one God, and one Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. ♥Forasmuch ... as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same. ♥Look unto Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. ♥We have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous. ♥In Christ Jesus, you who sometime were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For He is our Peace. ♥By His own blood He entered in once...

MAY 12 EVENING ♥Reproach has broken my heart. ♥Is not this the carpenter's son? ♥Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? ♥Say we not well that you are a Samaritan, and have a devil? ♥He casts out devils through the prince of the devils. ♥We know that this man is a sinner. ♥He deceives the people. ♥This man blasphemes. ♥Behold a man gluttonous and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. ♥It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his Lord. ♥This is thankworthy, if a man for conscience...

MAY 12 MORNING ♥Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loves is born of God, and knows God. ♥The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, which is given to us. ♥Ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. ♥He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself. ♥In this was manifested...

♥My sheep hear My voice. ♥Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: If any man hear My Voice, and open the door, 1 will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me. ♥I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled. I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave...

♥Awake to righteousness, and sin not. ♥Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. ♥It is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. ♥Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil...

MAY 10 EVENING ♥Vanity of vanities; all is vanity.♥We spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. ♥If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. ♥Here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. ♥I am the Lord, I change not. ♥Our conversation (citizenship) is in heaven; from whence also...

MORNING MAY 9 Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. If in this life if we only hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit.After that ye believed ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession. Jesus saith unto him,...

MAY 8 EVENING Ye that are the Lord's remembrancers, keep not silence. Thou ... hast made us unto our God kings and priests.The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations. And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the Lord your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies..I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye Me in...

MAY 8 MORNING It pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief. Now is My soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify Thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.Father, if Thou be willing, remove this cup from Me: nevertheless not My will, but Thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto Him from heaven, strengthening Him. Being found in fashion as a man, he humbled...

MORNING MAY 7 Ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled. God is our Refuge and Strength, a very present Help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the Lord cometh...

MAY 6 EVENING How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Beloved, now are we the Sons of God; ... it doth not appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as he is.As we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of heavenly. The Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ; ... shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able...

MAY 6 MORNIN Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. A just God and a Saviour. The Lord is well pleased for His righteousness' sake; He will magnify the law, and make it honourable. God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His Blood to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forebearance of God; to declare I say at this time His righteousness: that He might be Just...

EVENING MAY 5 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear Him. For He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. — There shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain, The LORD is thy Keeper: the LORD is thy Shade upon thy right...

MORNING MAY 5 Take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. O fear the Lord, ye His saints: for there is no want to them that fear Him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in Thee. I would have you without...

MAY 4 EVENING I have glorified Thee on the earth. My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work. I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. Wist ye not that I must be about my FatherÂ’s business? And they understood not the saying which He spake unto them.This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. Said I not unto thee, that if thou wouldest...
