9 October

Morning:
Thou [art] a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful. The Lord is not slack concerning his
promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any
should perish, but that all should come to repentance. --The longsuffering of our Lord [is]
salvation. For this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all
longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.--
Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience
and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Despisest thou the riches of his goodness and
forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to
repentance?--Rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he
[is] gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

Evening:
The words of the LORD [are] pure words. Thy word [is] very pure: therefore thy servant loveth
it.-- The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD
[is] pure, enlightening the eyes.--Every word of God [is] pure: he [is] a shield unto them that put
their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.--I will meditate in thy
precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.--Brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever
things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things
[are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any
praise, think on these things.--As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye
may grow thereby. We are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but
as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.--Nor handling the word of God deceitfully.
