Today's daily thought has been brought to you from
Jonathan Bagster's Daily Light on the Daily Path.
Morning
Never man spake like this man.
Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured
into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.--The
Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should
know how to speak a word in season to [him that is] weary. His
mouth [is] most sweet: yea, he [is] altogether lovely. This [is]
my beloved, and this [is] my friend.
All bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words
which proceeded out of his mouth.--For he taught them as [one]
having authority, and not as the scribes.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom.--
The sword of the Spirit . . . is the word of God.--The word of
God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged
sword.--The weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty
through God to the pulling down of strong holds; casting down
imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against
the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought
to the obedience of Christ.

Evening
The triumphing of the wicked [is] short.
Thou shalt bruise his heel.--This is your hour, and the power
of darkness.--As the children are partakers of flesh and blood,
he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through
death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is,
the devil.--Having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a
shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a
roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom
resist stedfast in the faith.--Resist the devil, and he will
flee from you.
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him
with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that
his day is coming.--The God of peace shall bruise Satan under
your feet shortly.--The devil . . . was cast into the lake of
fire and brimstone, . . . and shall be tormented day and night
for ever and ever.
