The fruit ot the Spirit is goodness.

Be ye ... followers of God, as dear children. — Love your enemies, blessthem that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for themwhich despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the childrenof your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the eviland on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. — Be yetherefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.The fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.After that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to hismercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of theHoly Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour. — The L

ORD

is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all hisworks. — 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?

Eben-ezer ... Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.

I was brought low, and he helped me. — Blessed be the L

ORD

, because hehath heard the voice of my supplications. The L

ORD

is my strength and myshield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heartgreatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.It is better to trust in the L

ORD

than to put confidence in man. It is better totrust in the L

ORD

than to put confidence in princes. — Happy is he thathath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the L

ORD

his God. — He led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. — There failed not ought of any good thing which the L

ORD

hath spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing?And they said, Nothing. — Because thou hast been my help, therefore inthe shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

MORNING

This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof.

We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the taber-nacle. — Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. — At that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from thecommonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise. Butnow, in Christ Jesus, ye who sometime were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.For he is our peace, who hath made both one, ... having abolished in hisflesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances;for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizenswith the saints, and of the household of God.If any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, andwill sup with him, and he with me.

Who in the days of his flesh ... offered up prayers and supplications withstrong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death.Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the L

ORD

. — Continuinginstant in prayer. — Praying always with all prayer and supplication in theSpirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication. — By prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be madeknown unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. — This is the confidence thatwe have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hearethus.Delight thyself ... in the L

JULY 3

If children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ.

If ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that weshould be called the sons of God. — Thou art no more a servant, but a son;and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. — Having predestinatedus unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according tothe good pleasure of his will.Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where Iam; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me.He that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him I willgive power over the nations. — To him that overcometh will I grant to sitwith me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with myFather in his throne.

Things which are despised, hath God chosen.

Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?Jesus, ... saw two brethren, ... casting a net into the sea: for they werefishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me. — Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned andignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that theyhad been with Jesus.My speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man'swisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: that your faithshould not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that yeshould go and bring forth fruit. He that abideth in me, and I in him, thesame bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. — Wehave this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God.
