Today's daily thought has been brought to you from
Jonathan Bagster's Daily Light on the Daily Path.
Morning
There shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand.
Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord,
and touch not the unclean [thing].--Dearly beloved, I beseech
[you] as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts,
which war against the soul.--Hating even the garment spotted by
the flesh.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet
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. And every
man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is
pure.--The grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to
all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly
lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this
present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious
appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; who
gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity,
and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good
works.

Evening
Who art thou, Lord? . . . I am Jesus.
It is I; be not afraid.--When thou passest through the
waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they
shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire,
thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon
thee. For I [am] the LORD thy God, . . . thy Saviour.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I
will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me.--Emmanuel, . . . God with us.
Thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people
from their sins.--If any man sin, we have an advocate with the
Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.--Who [is] he that
condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen
again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh
intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of
Christ? [shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or
famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
