5 January

Morning:
We who have believed do enter into rest. They . . . weary themselves to commit iniquity.--I see
another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity
to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from
the body of this death? Come to me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest.--Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom
also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of
God. He that hath entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works.--Not having my
own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the
righteousness which is from God by faith.--This [is] the rest [with which] ye may cause the
weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing.
Heb 4:3 Jer 9:5 Ro 7:23,24 Mt 11:28 Ro 5:1,2 Heb 4:10 Php 3:9 Isa 28:12
Evening:
Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. If thou, LORD, shouldest
mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?--They provoked his spirit, so that he spoke
unadvisedly with his lips. Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which
cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. A whisperer separateth chief friends.--There is that
speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise [is] health. The lip of truth shall
be established for ever: but a lying tongue [is] but for a moment.--The tongue can no man tame;
[it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. . . . Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and
cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Put off . . . anger, wrath, malice,
blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing ye have put
off the old man with his deeds.--This is the will of God, [even] your sanctification.--In their
mouth was found no guile.
