Daily Light on the Daily Path

Morning

Let us labour to enter into that rest.
  • Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction: ... strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. -- The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. -- Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you. -- Give diligence to make your calling and election sure: ... for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. -- So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
  • For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. -- The Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

Evening

Thou hearest me always.
  • Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. -- Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. -- Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. -- Not my will, but thine, be done.
  • As he is, so are we in this world. -- This is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us.
  • Whatsoever we ask. we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
  • Without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
  • He ever liveth to make intercession for them. -- We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
