**Evening** **He is before all things.** The Amen; the beginning of the creation of God. -- The beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the pre eminence. The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: when he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep; when he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment. I was daily his delight rejoicing always before him. -- Yea, before the day was I am he. The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. -- The author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. **Col 1:17; Rev 3:14; Col 1:18; Prov 8:22,23,27,30; Isa 43:13; Rev 13:8; Heb 12:2** [Tuesday 16-August, 2022](https://t.me/daily_light)
