2.3 KiB
Morning
Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. -- Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? -- Heirs of God, and joint‑heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
The Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me. -- God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
He that overeometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. -- There is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. -- He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Evening
Riches are not forever; and doth the crown endure to every generation?
Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. -- Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. -- Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
They do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptble. -- We look not at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen. -- To him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward. -- There is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day, and not to me only but unto all them also that love his appearing. -- A crown of glory that fadeth not away.
