August 9

Morning

Thou [art] all fair, my love; [there is] no spot in thee.

The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head [there is] no soundness in it; [but] wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.--We are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags.--I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing.

Ye are washed, . . . ye are sanctified, . . . ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.--The king's daughter [is] all glorious within.--Perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.

Let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us.

These are they which . . . have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.--A glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but . . . holy and without blemish.--Ye are complete in him.

So 4:7 Isa 1:5,6 64:6 Ro 7:18 1Co 6:11 Ps 45:13 Eze 16:14 Ps 90:17 Re 7:14 Eph 5:27 Col 2:10

Evening

Broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

Eve . . . bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven. . . . The LORD scattered them.--Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; . . . it [was] well watered every where, . . . [even] as the garden of the LORD. . . . But the men of Sodom [were] wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. For in much wisdom [is] much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.--I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards. . . I gathered me also silver and gold. . . . Then I looked on all, . . . and, behold, all [was] vanity and vexation of spirit.

If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.--He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
