October 13 MORNING From the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard. Dan. 10:12 Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. Isa. 57:15 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Psa. 51:17 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. Psa. 138:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. I Pet. 5:6 God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. James 4:6, 7 Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. Psa. 86:5-7 EVENING Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Matt. 6:10 Understanding what the will of the Lord is. Eph. 5:17 It is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. Matt. 18:14 This is the will of God, even your sanctification. I Thess. 4:3 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. I Pet. 4:2 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth: wherefore lay apart all filthiness. James 1:18, 21 Be ye holy; for I am holy. I Pet. 1:16 [Jesus] said, Whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. Mark 3:34, 35 Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house and it fell not; for it was founded upon a rock. Matt. 7:24, 25 The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. I John 2:17
