Today's daily thought has been brought to you from
Jonathan Bagster's Daily Light on the Daily Path.
Morning
Thou [art] a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger,
and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according
as thou hast spoken, saying, The LORD [is] longsuffering, and of
great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no
means clearing [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth
[generation].
O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender
mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low. Help
us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and
deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.--O
LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou [it] for
thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned
against thee.--We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, [and] the
iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee.
If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall
stand? But [there is] forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be
feared.

Evening
Sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.
Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my
garden, [that] the spices thereof may flow out.
Behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly
sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, [what] clearing
of yourselves, yea, [what] indignation, yea, [what] fear, yea,
[what] vehement desire, yea, [what] zeal, yea, [what] revenge!--
Fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness and righteousness and
truth; proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
The Father . . . shall give you another Comforter.--The love
of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is
given unto us.
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace.
In a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and
their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
All these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing
to every man severally as he will.
