This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind,... I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Father, I will that they ... whom thou hast given me, be with me where Iam; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me. — I knowwhom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that whichI have committed unto him against that day. — He which hath begun agood work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for themastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptiblecrown; but we an incorruptible. — Let us lay aside every weight, and thesin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race thatis set before us, looking unto Jesus.

MORNING

Sing unto the Lord a new song.

Sing aloud unto God our strength; make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp withthe psaltery. — He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the L

thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. — The joy of the Lord is your strength. — Paul ... thanked God, and took courage.Knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for nowis our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, theday is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not inrioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strifeand envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provisionfor the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of myhands as the evening sacrifice.

Thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: ... and thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seatthat is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee. And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: ... and when Aaron lighteth thelamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before theL

ORD

throughout your generations.[Jesus] is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him,seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. — The smoke of thein-cense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up beforeGod out of the angel's hand. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up aspiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices,acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Pray without ceasing.

He led them forth by the right way.

He found [Jacob] in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; heled him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. Asan eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroadher wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: so the Lord alone didlead him. — Even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will Icarry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for hisname's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfortme.The Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, andmake fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like aspring of water, whose waters fail not. — For this GOD is our GOD for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death. Who teacheth likehim?

What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee ... Lord, that I may receive my sight.

Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scrip-tures. — The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father willsend in my name, ... shall teach you all things. — Every good gift andevery perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights.The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, ... give unto you thespirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of hiscalling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe,
