Today's daily thought has been brought to you from
Jonathan Bagster's Daily Light on the Daily Path.
Morning
Let patience have [her] perfect work,
that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through
manifold temptations: that the trial of your faith, being much
more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried
with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at
the appearing of Jesus Christ.--We glory in tribulations also:
knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience,
experience; and experience, hope.
[It is] good that [a man] should both hope and quietly wait
for the salvation of the LORD.--Ye have in heaven a better and
an enduring substance. Cast not away therefore your confidence,
which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of
patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might
receive the promise.--Our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God,
even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given [us]
everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort
your hearts.

Evening
God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ.
Judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both
will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make
manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man
have praise of God.--The Father judgeth no man, but hath
committed all judgment unto the Son: . . . because he is the Son
of man.--The Son of God, . . . hath his eyes like unto a flame
of fire.
They say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the
most High?--These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence;
thou thoughtest that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself:
[but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine
eyes.--There is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed;
neither hid, that shall not be known.
Lord, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is not
hid from thee.--Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins
and my heart.
