Morning
"Do as thou hast said."-2 Samuel 7:25
God's promises were never meant to be thrown aside as waste paper; He
intended that they should be used. God's gold is not miser's money, but is
minted to be traded with. Nothing pleases our Lord better than to see His
promises put in circulation; He loves to see His children bring them up to
Him, and say, "Lord, do as Thou hast said." We glorify God when we plead
His promises. Do you think that God will be any the poorer for giving you
the riches He has promised? Do you dream that He will be any the less holy
for giving holiness to you? Do you imagine He will be any the less pure for
washing you from your sins? He has said "Come now, and let us reason
together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as
white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
Faith lays hold upon the promise of pardon, and it does not delay, saying,
"This is a precious promise, I wonder if it be true?" but it goes straight
to the throne with it, and plea!
ds, "Lord, here is the promise, 'Do as Thou hast said.'" Our Lord replies,
"Be it unto thee even as thou wilt." When a Christian grasps a promise, if
he do not take it to God, he dishonours Him; but when he hastens to the
throne of grace, and cries, "Lord, I have nothing to recommend me but this,
'Thou hast said it;'" then his desire shall be granted. Our heavenly Banker
delights to cash His own notes. Never let the promise rust. Draw the word
of promise out of its scabbard, and use it with holy violence. Think not
that God will be troubled by your importunately reminding Him of His
promises. He loves to hear the loud outcries of needy souls. It is His
delight to bestow favours. He is more ready to hear than you are to ask.
The sun is not weary of shining, nor the fountain of flowing. It is God's
nature to keep His promises; therefore go at once to the throne with "Do as
Thou hast said."

Evening
"But I give myself unto prayer."-Psalm 109:4
Lying tongues were busy against the reputation of David, but he did not
defend himself; he moved the case into a higher court, and pleaded before
the great King Himself. Prayer is the safest method of replying to words of
hatred. The Psalmist prayed in no cold-hearted manner, he gave himself to
the exercise-threw his whole soul and heart into it-straining every sinew
and muscle, as Jacob did when wrestling with the angel. Thus, and thus
only, shall any of us speed at the throne of grace. As a shadow has no
power because there is no substance in it, even so that supplication, in
which a man's proper self is not thoroughly present in agonizing
earnestness and vehement desire, is utterly ineffectual, for it lacks that
which would give it force. "Fervent prayer," says an old divine, "like a
cannon planted at the gates of heaven, makes them fly open." The common
fault with the most of us is our readiness to yield to distractions. Our
thoughts go roving hither and thither, and we !
make little progress towards our desired end. Like quicksilver our mind
will not hold together, but rolls off this way and that. How great an evil
this is! It injures us, and what is worse, it insults our God. What should
we think of a petitioner, if, while having an audience with a prince, he
should be playing with a feather or catching a fly?
Continuance and perseverance are intended in the expression of our text.
David did not cry once, and then relapse into silence; his holy clamour was
continued till it brought down the blessing. Prayer must not be our chance
work, but our daily business, our habit and vocation. As artists give
themselves to their models, and poets to their classical pursuits, so must
we addict ourselves to prayer. We must be immersed in prayer as in our
element, and so pray without ceasing. Lord, teach us so to pray that we may
be more and more prevalent in supplication.

KJV Daily Bible Verse
1 John 4:20-21
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he
that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God
whom he hath not seen? And this
commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Scripture Reference: Joshua 24:15 Psalm 37:16 Genesis 14:17-24
Refusing the World's Offers
Genesis 14:17-24
When the king of Sodom tempted Abraham by urging him to take the
earthly goods, Abraham's attitude was the same as the Apostle Paul's.
In 2 Corinthians 4:18 Paul said, "We look not at the things which are
seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are
seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."
Because Abraham had been spiritually fortified beforehand, he was
ready when the king of Sodom offered him earthly riches. There was no
problem because he had already made his choice between that which is
temporal and that which is eternal.
Joshua told the people of his day, "Choose you this day whom ye will
serve" (Josh. 24:15). The greatest need among present-day believers is
to realize there is a choice that has to be made.
Abraham was ready, and his answer was quick, concise and final.
Abraham declared God to be his God and that he was confident and
determined that God alone would provide his portion.
Abraham declared unashamedly that he would trust God for his every
need. He did not want to give either Satan or man the opportunity to
say that he had made him rich. What a challenge to us!
"A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many
wicked" (Ps. 37:16).

Scripture Reference: Psalm 63:1-11
First Appointment
O God, Thou art my God; early will I seek Thee: my soul thirsteth for
Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no
water is.
How amazing it is that finite creatures such as you and I may have
fellowship with the infinite God. Yet this is our privilege as
Christians; it is our right. But rights always bring responsibilities.
Psalm 63 is a gem of a morning psalm. The eloquent preacher of the
fourth century, Chrysostom, testifies, "It was decreed and ordained by
the primitive fathers, that no day should pass without the public
singing of this psalm." It is easy to see why the early Christians
sang this song aloud at the beginning of every day. They would start
their song, "O God, Thou art my God." This is easy to say, but
difficult to live. To say that God is our God conveys a great deal of
benefit. Because He is our God, all that He has is ours as well. We
are heirs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ (Romans 8:17). Ours
is not an empty relationship with God but one filled with great
blessing, great benefit, great privilege.
But all of us who claim the Lord as our God don't just receive special
favors from Him; we return special services to Him. This is why in
Psalm 118:28 David says, "Thou art my God, and I will praise Thee:
Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee." Because He is our God and because
we have special rights it is incumbent upon us to exercise certain
responsibilities. This David recognizes when he says, "O God, Thou art
my God: early will I seek thee" (Psalm 63:1).
While as servants of God we may claim interest in Him, we also must
exhibit our duty toward Him. Before all things, at the dawn of every
day, before we seek anyone else, before we have our breakfast, "early
will I seek Thee."
There seems to be a direct relationship between seeking God in the
morning and success throughout the day. Dr. Andrew Bonar once wrote in
his diary: "Tonight I gave myself to a time of waiting upon the Lord.
I had not been much in the spirit of prayer, but now several things
have become clear to me. I realize I have not communed enough with the
Lord, nor come to Him as often as I should. Little forethought has
been given to the requests I've made. There has been much conversing
and outward engagement with men, but I have not been occupied enough
with God Himself. I also realize that a closeness to Him gives
abundant strength and is like sunlight shining through the clouds on a
gloomy day." Bonar recognized that had he sought the Lord early, at
the beginning of his day, and walked with Him consistently throughout
the day, his evening time of waiting on the Lord in prayer would have
been much more productive. The same is true for each of us.
Satisfaction for the soul cannot be found apart from fellowship with
the Lord. David the psalmist sought to maintain his companionship with
God from early morning until late at night. He made a practice of
being in the "presence" of God throughout the day by the blessed
privilege of prayer.
When our souls thirst for the Lord as our parched tongues thirst for
water, when our appetite for righteousness equals our appetite for
food, then we will make it a habit of rising early in the morning to
make our first appointment of the day an appointment with God. He will
be the first one on our minds in the morning, and the last one on our
minds at night.
MORNING HYMN
When morning gilds the skies,
My heart awaking cries;
May Jesus Christ be praised;
Alike at work and prayer
To Jesus I repair;
May Jesus Christ be praised.
