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.
MORNING
Fear not; for I have redeemed thee.—ISA. 43:1.
Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel.—I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.—With the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
Their Redeemer is strong; the Lord of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause.—My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Isa. 54:4,5-Isa. 44:22. -I Pet. 1:19.Jer. 50:34. -John 10:29.Gal. 1:3-5.

EVENING
I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us.—ISA. 63:7.
He brought me up . . . out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.—The Son of God . . . loved me, and gave himself for me.—He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?—God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.—Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Psa. 40:2. -Gal. 2:20. -Rom. 8:32. -Rom. 5:8.II Cor. 1:22. -Eph. 1:14.Eph. 2:4-6.

MORNING
Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.—MATT. 25:34.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.—Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?—Heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
The Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me.—God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.—There is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.— He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
Luke 12:32. -Jas. 2:5. -Rom. 8:17.John 16:27. -Heb. 11:16.Rev. 21:7-II Tim. 4:8. -Phi. 1:6.
EVENING
Riches are not forever; and doth the crown endure to every generation?—PROV. 27:24.
Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.—Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.—Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
They do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.—We look not at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen.—To him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.—There is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day, and not to me only but unto all them also that love his appearing.—A crown of glory that fadeth not away.
Psa. 39:6. -Col. 3:2. -Matt. 6:19-21.I Cor. 9:25. -II Cor 4:18. -Prov. 11:18. -II Tim. 4:8. -I Pet. 5:4.
