Morning
He ever liveth to make intercession.
Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, . . . who also maketh intercession for us.--Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.
If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.--[There is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
Seeing . . . that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.--Through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Evening
They that know thy name will put their trust in thee.
This [is] his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.--I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only.
His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor.--O LORD, I know that the way of man [is] not in himself: [it is] not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
The mighty God, The everlasting Father.--I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
The Prince of Peace.--He is our peace.--Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
The name of the LORD [is] a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.--Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help.--As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver [it; and] passing over he will preserve it.
