Today's daily thought has been brought to you from
Jonathan Bagster's Daily Light on the Daily Path.
Morning
Our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep.
The chief Shepherd.--I am the good shepherd, and know my
[sheep], and am known of mine.--My sheep hear my voice, and I
know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal
life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck
them out of my hand.
The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to
lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still
waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one
to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us
all.--I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life
for the sheep.--I will seek that which was lost, and bring again
that which was driven away, and will bind up [that which was]
broken, and will strengthen that which was sick.--Ye were as
sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and
Bishop of your souls.

Evening
The city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon,
to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it,
and the Lamb [is] the light thereof.
I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of
the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with
me. . . . And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am
Jesus whom thou persecutest.--Jesus taketh Peter, James, and
John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain
apart, and was transfigured before them: and his face did shine
as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.--The sun
shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall
the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee
an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. 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 God of all grace, . . . hath called us unto his eternal
glory by Christ Jesus.
