Today's Daily Light for May 7

MORNING

Ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled.—MATT. 24:6.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.—Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their
iniquity.—In the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.—Your life is hid with Christ in God.

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting the Lord.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Psa. 46:1-3. -Isa. 26:20,21. -Psa. 57:1. -Col. 3:3.Psa. 112:7.John 16:33.

EVENING

They persecute him whom thou hast smitten.—PSA. 69:26.

It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!—Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain.—They did spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?—Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross.—Of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

Surely he hath borne our grief, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

Luke 17:1. -Acts 2:23. -Matt. 26:67,68. -Matt. 27:41,42. -Acts 4:27,28.Isa. 53:4.

He preserveth the way of his saints.—PROV. 2:8.

The Lord your God . . . went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.—As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: so the Lord alone did lead him.—The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.—Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.—For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.—We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.—With us is the Lord our God to help us, and to fight our battles. the Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy.

Deut. 1:32,33. -Deut. 32:11,12. -Psa. 37:23,24. -Psa. 34:19. -Psa. 1:6. -Rom. 8:28. -II Chr. 32:8.Zeph. 3:17.

EVENING

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?—MATT. 27:46.

He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; . . . the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all . . . For the transgression of my people was he stricken . . . It pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief.

Jesus our Lord . . . was delivered for our offences.—Christ hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God.—Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us.

Isa. 53:5,6,8,10.Rom. 4:24,25. -I Pet. 3:18. -I Pet. 2:24.II Cor. 5:21.Gal. 3:13.
