Morning:

For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
but though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion.

Fear thou not, . . . saith the LORD: for I [am] with thee;
. . . I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in
measure.--For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with
great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my
face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will
I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. . . . For the
mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my
kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant
of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.
O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, [and] not comforted,
behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy
foundations with sapphires.

I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have
sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute
judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, [and] I
shall behold his righteousness.

Lam 3:31,32 Jer 46:28 Isa 54:7,8,10,11 Mi 7:9


Evening:

God hath chosen the weak things of the world
to confound the things which are mighty.

When the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD
raised them up a deliverer, Ehud, . . . a man lefthanded. . . .
After him was Shamgar . . . . which slew of the Philistines six
hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.

The LORD looked upon [Gideon], and said, Go in this thy
might: . . . have not I sent thee? And he said unto him, Oh my
Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family [is] poor
in Manasseh, and I [am] the least in my father's house.

And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that [are] with
thee [are] too many for me, . . . lest Israel vaunt themselves
against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.

Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD
of hosts.--My brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power
of his might.
