Morning:

God hath caused me to be fruitful

in the land of my affliction.

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

the Father of mercies, and the God of all consolation; who

comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to

comfort them who are in any trouble, by the consolation with

which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings

of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by

Christ.

Now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through

various temptations: that the trial of your faith, being much

more precious than of gold that perisheth, though tried with

fire, might be found to praise and honour and glory at the

appearing of Jesus Christ. The Lord stood with me, and

strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known,

and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out

of the mouth of the lion.

Let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the

keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as to a faithful

Creator.

Genesis 41:52 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 1 Peter 1:6-7 2 Timothy 4:17 1 Peter 4:19

Evening:

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary

be at rest. There the prisoners rest together; they hear not

the voice of the oppressor.

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth:

. . . they . . . rest from their labours; and their works do

follow them.

Our friend Lazarus sleepeth. . . . Jesus spake of his death:

but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

We that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened.

Ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even

we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption,

to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope:

but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why

doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then

do we with patience wait for it.

Hebrews 4:9 Job 3:17-18 Revelation 14:13 John 11:11 John 11:13 2 Corinthians 5:4 Romans 8:23-25
