August 6

Morning

Whom the LORD loveth he correcteth.

See now that I, [even] I, [am] he, and [there is] no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither [is there any] that can deliver out of my hand.--I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.--My thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.--As a man chasteneth his son, [so] the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.--Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.--Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments [are] right, and [that] thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.

Evening

The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof.

She did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, [which] they prepared for Baal. Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax.

All things [come] of thee, and of thine own have we given thee. For we [are] strangers before thee, and sojourners, as [were] all our fathers: our days on the earth [are] as a shadow, and [there is] none abiding. O LORD our God, all this store . . . [cometh] of thine hand, and [is] all thine own.--Of him, and through him, and to him, [are] all things: to whom [be] glory for ever. Amen.

The living God . . . giveth us richly all things to enjoy.-- Every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
