MORNING
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? - I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: neverthe-less thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
Shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. - Wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee. - Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD.
Let us not be weary in well doing: ... in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. - Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

EVENING
Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. - Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled. - Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ. - The tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. The tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. - Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt.
