Today's daily thought has been brought to you from
Jonathan Bagster's Daily Light on the Daily Path.
Morning
He calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
The foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The
Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth
the name of Christ depart from iniquity.--Many will say to me in
that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in
thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many
wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew
you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.--The LORD knoweth
the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall
perish.
Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of [my] hands; thy
walls [are] continually before me.--Set me as a seal upon thine
heart, as a seal upon thine arm.--The LORD [is] good, a strong
hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in
him.
I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a
place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, [there] ye may be also.

Evening
She hath done what she could.
This poor widow hath cast in more than they all.--Whosoever
shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye
belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his
reward.--If there be first a willing mind, [it is] accepted
according to that a man hath, [and] not according to that he
hath not.
Let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and
in truth.--If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of
daily food, and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be
[ye] warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those
things which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit?--
But this [I say], He which soweth sparingly shall reap also
sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also
bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart,
[so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God
loveth a cheerful giver.
So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things
which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we
have done that which was our duty to do.
