He is altogether lovely. (Song 5:16) My meditation of him shall be sweet. (Psa. 104:34) My beloved is … the chiefest among ten thousand. (Song 5:10) A chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. (1 Pet. 2:6) Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips. (Psa. 45:2) God … hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name. (Phil. 2:9) It pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell. (Col. 1:19) Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. (1 Pet. 1:8) I count all things but loss, for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. (Phil. 3:8, 9)
Evening
David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. (1 Sam. 30:6) Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. (John 6:68) I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. (2 Tim. 1:12) In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay. He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. (Psa. 18:6, 18, 19) I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. (Psa. 34:1-4, 8)

Morning
He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him. (Isa. 59:16) Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire: mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. (Psa. 40:6-8) I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. (John 10:17, 18) There is no God else beside me: a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. (Isa. 45:21, 22) There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12) Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. (2 Cor. 8:9)
Evening
The Enemy. (Luke 10:19) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Pet. 5:8) Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (Jas. 4:7) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (Eph. 6:11-16) Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. (Mic. 7:8)

Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. (Matt. 8:17) Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: and the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water: as for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water: and he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field. (Lev. 14:4-7) Behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. (Luke 5:12) And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. (Mark 1:41, 42)

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for their’s is the kingdom of heaven.

26, Tuesday
Morning
The Lord reigneth. (Psa. 99:1) Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it? (Jer. 5:22) Promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. (Psa. 75:6, 7) He changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding. (Dan. 2:21) Ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled. (Matt. 24:6) If God be for us, who can be against us? (Rom. 8:31) Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. The very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. (Matt. 10:29-31)
Evening
Take heed to your spirit. (Mal. 2:15) Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us. Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he … rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. (Luke 9:49, 50, 54, 55) Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. And Joshua the son of Nun … answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the Lord’s people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them! (Num. 11:27-29) The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. (Gal. 5:22, 23) And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. (Gal. 5:24-26)

Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. (Matt. 28:20) If two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

The end of all things is at hand. (1 Pet. 4:7) I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. (Rev. 20:11) The heavens and the earth, which are now, … are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment. (2 Pet. 3:7) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Psa. 46:1-3) Ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled. (Matt. 24:6) We have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. (2 Pet. 3:13, 14)

October 24
Morning
I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. (Jon. 2:4) Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.

When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the Lord will hear them. (Isa. 41:17) There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? (Psa. 4:6) What hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun? For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. (Eccl. 2:22, 23) All is vanity and vexation of spirit.
