Daily Light...

At some point early on in my time here I grabbed a book off the shelf called “Daily Light” which is a book of compiled Scripture readings for each morning and evening. This morning I decided to start off reading in it and decided to look at last nights reading (since I didn’t yesterday) and this is what it was…

Whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.

The Lord is exalted, for he dwells on high. – The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens! … He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with princes.

God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ – by grace you have been saved – and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will h

‘[‘’’’e not also with him graciously give us all things? … For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present not things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Prov. 29:25. Isa. 33:5. Ps. 113:4,7,8. Eph. 2:4-6

Rom. 8:32, 38, 39.

And then this was the reading for this morning…

That through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death.

Our Savior Christ Jesus…abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. – He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the Lord has spoken. – When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortals puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. – Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Heb. 2:14. 2 Tim. 1:10. Isa. 25:8. 1 Cor. 15:54-57.

2 Tim. 1:7. Ps. 23:4.
