Today's daily thought has been brought to you from
Jonathan Bagster's Daily Light on the Daily Path.
Morning
Brethren, the time [is] short.
Man [that is] born of a woman [is] of few days, and full of
trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he
fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.--The world passeth
away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God
abideth for ever.-As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall
all be made alive.--Death is swallowed up in victory.--Whether
we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto
the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
--To live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.
Cast not away . . . 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. For
yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will
not tarry.--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
armour of light.--The end of all things is at hand: be ye
therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

Evening
A new name.
The disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.--Let
every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.--
They that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the
affections and lusts.--Ye are bought with a price: therefore
glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord
Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto
the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any
thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
Be ye . . . followers of God, as dear children; and walk in
love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for
us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling
savour. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness,
let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints.--Now
[are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light.
