Today's Daily Light for May 13

Note from the editor/compiler 

I have made an executive decision. I am ceasing for the time being to continue blogging Daily Light on the Daily Path. I have found myself neglecting Stephen Covey's main principle that I have adopted for my own: “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.” 

I have robbed time from the things I love, which is family, writing and ministry. Therefore, I am refocusing. My readers can continue their devotions by downloading the free eBook Daily Light on the Daily Path in either the PDF (Click Here) or text (Text).

As always, I covet your prayers. Jim

Today's Daily Light for MAY 12

MORNING

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.—I JOHN 4:7.

The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, which is given unto us.—Ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.—He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself.

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.—In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.—That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

Rom. 5:5. -Rom. 8:15,16. -I John 5:10.I John 4:9. -Eph. 1:7. -Eph. 2:7.I John 4:11.

May we suggest Pastor Jim's Book, For His Glory: A Kaleidoscope of Wisdom for your reading enjoyment.

Today's Daily Light for May 11

MORNING

Awake to righteousness, and sin not.—I COR. 15:34.

Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

It is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.—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.—Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed: and make you a new heart and a new spirit.—Lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.—Little children, abide in him that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

I Thes. 5:5,6.Rom. 13:11,12. -Eph. 6:13. -Ezek. 18:31. -Jas. 1:21. -I John 2:28,29.

EVENING

Today's Daily Light for MAY 10

MORNING

For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.—I JOHN 3:8.

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.—Forasmuch . . . as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death. that is, the devil.—And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them.—I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and
strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Eph. 6:12. -Heb. 2:14. -Col 2:15. -Rev. 12:10,11.I Cor. 15:57.

EVENING

Vanity of vanities; all is vanity.—ECCL. 1:2.

We spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.—Here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.—I am the Lord, I change not.—Our conversation (citizenship) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ; who shall change our vile body that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.—The creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly but by reason of him who hath subjected
the same in hope.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.—Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

Psa. 90:9,10.I Cor. 15:19. -Heb. 13:14. -Mal. 3:6. -Phi. 3:20,21. -Rom. 8:20.Heb. 13:8. -Rev. 4:8.

Both Morning and Evening Devotions

MORNING

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.—HEB. 11:1.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit.—After that ye believed ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession.

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.—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: receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

We walk by faith, not by sight.—Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

I Cor. 15:19.I Cor. 2:9,10. -Eph. 1:13,14. -John 20:29. -I Pet. 1:8,9.II Cor. 5:7. -Heb. 10:35.

EVENING

It is I; be not afraid.—JOHN 6:20.

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.—I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

Woe is me! for I am undone; . . . mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.—I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed
thee.

If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

Rev. 1:17,18. -Isa. 43:25.Isa. 6:5-7. -Isa. 44:22.I John 2:1.
