What a precious sound, is our Saviors' voice!! Amen to this devotional today. I love Daily Light... Polly
ps... this is unrelated, but how do you get the chorus to copy in paragraph form? If I go use < with a P in here >it causes the words to copy in a paragraph...but I can't get them to copy like you had it originally. Know what I mean, or am I not making sense!
Dear Polly,
How wonderful to hear from you!
I have NO IDEA why it copies that way.
I copied it directly from cyberhymnal and didn’t change anything and that’s how it works.
Sorry.
Kitty Mittens is informed on things like that!
Maybe she can help.
Love to you in Jesus.
Come, Thou Almighty King,
Help us Thy Name to sing, help us to praise!
Father all glorious, over all victorious,
Come and reign over us, Ancient of Days!
Come, Thou incarnate Word,
Gird on Thy mighty sword, our prayer attend!
Come, and Thy people bless, and give Thy Word success,
Spirit of holiness, on us descend!
Come, holy Comforter,
Thy sacred witness bear in this glad hour.
Thou Who almighty art, now rule in every heart,
And ne’er from us depart, Spirit of power!
To Thee, great One in Three,
Eternal praises be, hence, evermore.
Thy sovereign majesty may we in glory see,
And to eternity love and adore!
Thank You for Caring for us, Dear Father our King. Our Shepherd, our Hope, our Eternal Life, we Give You Songs of Sweet Praise. We Long to See You So Much, our Faithful and Dependable God. O You Who Love us, be Exalted, Honored, Worshiped and Adored. In Your Courage, Power, and Strength we Rest.
Be Glorified Forever, my Beautiful Savior, Jesus Christ. In Your Most Holy Name, amen.
The Earth is Filled with His Tender Love. (Ps.33:5)
Father God,
I come to You at the beginning of this day, filled with Praises and Thanksgiving for Your Love, Grace and Mercy.Your love has reached beyond my sin and stain,and provided The Lamb, for my redemption. I praise Your Name and bow before You in worship this morning. Thank You Lord, for this precious group of believers that seek to lift up Your Name here at Free Republic.
You alone Father God hold the keys to all of our needs, both in our homes and in our beloved country. May we this day keep our eyes fixed on You. Teach us to trust You both when our paths are rocky and rough, and when our way is filled with success and ease. May we never lose sight of Your plan for us. Keep us humble before You.
“This is the day You have made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.” I give You my strength,my time, my ambitions and desires this day to be used for You alone.
I will gladly stay under Your Wings.
Amen.
Praising you LORD, with my sisters.

Morning
“The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us.”
O Lord, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.
The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant.—“There is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries.”—“Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of him!”
“No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.”— “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth.”
Deut. 29:29; Ps. 131:1, 2; Ps. 25:14; Dan. 2:28; Job 26:14; John 15:15; John 14:15-17
Father, thank you for the Spirit of Truth.
You are mighty and perfect in all your ways, with men and in creation and in eternity.
Your judgments are just and merciful and full of righteousness.
We praise you in uprightness for you have cleansed us and brought us near in your Precious Son.
Thank you for this day and for your loving hand that is always extended toward us.
Amen.

Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life:
Such a way as gives us breath;
Such a truth as ends all strife,
Such a life as killeth death.
Come, my Light, my Feast, my Strength:
Such a light as shows a feast,
Such a feast as mends in length,
Such a strength as makes his guest.
Come, my Joy, my Love, my Heart:
Such a joy as none can move,
Such a love as none can part,
Such a heart as joys in love.
—George Herbert, 1633
Through our God we shall do valiantly.
It is He who will tread down our enemies
We'll sing and shout His victory.
Christ is King,
For God has won the victory
And set His people free.
His word has slain the enemy.
The earth shall stand and see that...
Through our God we shall do valiantly.
It is He who will tread down our enemies
We'll sing and shout His victory.
Christ is King! Christ is King!
Christ is King!
Amen, we Rejoice in Your Victory, King Jesus! We Stand on the Work You have Done. For us, You have Suffered All; You will be Forevermore Praised!
Thank You, our Loving Savior, for Covering us with Your Grace. Thank You for Your Blood Most Precious that Freed us from All our Sin. To You, our God, be Eternal Glory and Praise. We Worship You, our Abba, and Pray in the Name of Your Son, amen.
Oh, Bless the Lord! (Ps.134:1)

The Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”—Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.
And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.—For this is the will of God, your sanctification.
For God has . . . called us . . . in holiness . . . who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit.
Rom. 8:27; John 16:23, 24; Eph. 6:18; 1 John 5:14, 15; 1 Thess. 4:3; 1 Thess. 4:7, 8; 1 Thess. 5:16-19
From: The Holy Are Humble by A.W. Tozer
I have met two classes of Christians; the proud who imagine they are humble, and the humble who are afraid they are proud! There should be another class: the self-forgetful men and women who leave the whole thing in the hands of Christ and refuse to waste any time trying to make themselves good. They will reach the goal far ahead of the rest. The truly humble person does not expect to find virtue in himself, and when he finds none he is not disappointed. He knows that any good deed he may do is the result of God’s working within him.
—A.W. Tozer (1897-1963) - Known as the “20th century prophet” his writings and preaching have stirred and brought many to a deeper walk with God.
Father in Heaven, search our hearts today and prepare us for the LORD’s day when we will present ourselves with the saints to worship you and hear your Word.
Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Psalm 25:8 Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/t/m/tmhsuppl.htm
To my humble supplication,
Lord, give ear and acceptation;
Save Thy servant, that hath none
Help nor hope but Thee alone.
Send, O send, relieving gladness
To my soul oppressed with sadness,
Which, from clog of earth set free,
Winged with zeal, flies up to Thee.
To Thee, rich in mercies’ treasure,
And in goodness without measure,
Never failing help to those
Who on Thy sure help repose.
Heavenly Tutor, of Thy kindness,
Teach my dullness, guide my blindness,
That my steps Thy paths may tread,
Which to endless bliss do lead.

I Found Something Wonderful at YouTube as I was Looking through the Christian Music to See what they had. A Young Man Named 'PilgrimtoZion' (I Love that!) was Playing and Singing his Heart Out to our King, and it was a Blessing to See his Devotion to our Lord.
"Make my life a prayer to you
I want to do what you want me to
No empty words and no white lies
No token prayers no compromise
I want to shine the light you gave
Thru your son you sent to save us
From ourselves and our despair
It comforts me to know you're really there
Well I want thank you now
For being patient with me
Oh it's so hard to see
When my eyes are on me
I guess I'll have to trust
And just believe what you say
That you're coming again
Coming to take me away
I want to die and let you give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope you gave me
The love that set me free
I want to tell the world out there
You're not some fable or fairy tale
That I've made up inside my head
You're God the Son and you've risen from the dead
I want to die and let you give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope you gave me
The love that set me free." Keith Green

Who would true valour see,
Let him come hither;
One here will constant be,
Come wind, come weather
There’s no discouragement
Shall make him once relent
His first avowed intent
To be a pilgrim.
Whoso beset him round
With dismal stories
Do but themselves confound;
His strength the more is.
No lion can him fright,
He’ll with a giant fight,
He will have a right
To be a pilgrim.
Hobgoblin nor foul fiend
Can daunt his spirit,
He knows he at the end
Shall life inherit.
Then fancies fly away,
He’ll fear not what men say,
He’ll labor night and day
To be a pilgrim.
—John Bunyan, 1684

bperiwinkle7,
This is as usual , so good. I love the writings of A.W.Tozer. My father quoted A.W. more than any other author.
I love this partcular paragraph
Hello Polly,
Tozer blesses me so much.
I listen to his sermons on SermonAudio, and there are some transcripts to read on SermonIndex.
My favorite book of his is “Knowledge of the Holy”.
I hope you have good sleep tonight and that your family is well and prospers in the LORD.

All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord, and all your saints shall bless you!
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.—I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.—Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever.
Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.
“My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.”

To God be the glory, great things He has done;
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.
Refrain
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He has done.
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
Refrain
Great things He has taught us, great things He has done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.
—Fanny Crosby
OH LORD, you are worthy to be praised.
We have walked through the world today and are in need of cleansing before we sleep.
Wash us with the water of your Word and the Glory of your praise.
Then we shall have peace.
Guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus I pray.
Amen.

HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD {Chris Tomlin}
The splendor of a King, clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in Light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end
The Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
I will Praise You, my God and King,
And Bless Your Name Each Day and Forever! (Ps.145:1)

Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love and power.
Refrain
I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O there are ten thousand charms.
Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome,
God’s free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings you nigh.
Refrain
Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall;
If you tarry till you’re better,
You will never come at all.
Refrain
View Him prostrate in the garden;
On the ground your Maker lies.
On the bloody tree behold Him;
Sinner, will this not suffice?
Refrain
Lo! th’incarnate God ascended,
Pleads the merit of His blood:
Venture on Him, venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude.
Refrain
Let not conscience make you linger,
Not of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him.

“And you shall put the mercy seat on the top of the ark. . . . There I will meet with you.”
The way into the holy places is not yet opened.—And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit. And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.
Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, . . . let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.—Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
. . . Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.—Through him we . . . have access in one Spirit to the Father.
Ex. 25:21, 22; Heb. 9:8; Matt. 27:50, 51; Heb. 10:19, 20, 22; Heb. 4:16; Rom. 3:24, 25; Eph. 2:18
The Old Paths Magazine, Issue 16, Sermon Index
The Godly Person Weeps by Thomas Watson
CHRIST CALLS HIS SPOUSE His “dove” (Song 2:14). The dove is a weeping creature. Grace dissolves and liquefies the soul, causing a spiritual thaw. The sorrow of the heart runs out at the eye. A godly heart grieves that it is not more holy. It troubles him that he falls short of the rule and standard which God has set. “I should”, he says, “love the Lord with all my heart. But how defective my love is! How far short I come of what I should be, no, of what I might have been!”
A godly man sometimes weeps out of the sense of God’s love. Gold is the finest and most solid of all the metals, yet it is soonest melted in the fire. Gracious hearts, which are golden hearts, are the soonest melted into tears by the fire of God’s love.
A godly person weeps because the sins he commits are in some sense worse than the sins of other men. The sin of a justified person is very odious, because it is a sin of unkindness. Peter’s denying of Christ was a sin against love. Christ had enrolled him among the apostles. He had taken him up into the Mount and shown him the glory of heaven in a vision. Yet after all this mercy, it was base ingratitude that he should deny Christ. This made him go out and “weep bitterly.” He baptized himself, as it were, in his own tears. The sins of the godly go nearest to God’s heart.
The sins of the wicked anger the Lord. The godly man’s sins grieve Him. The sins of the wicked pierce Christ’s side. The sins of the godly wound his heart. The unkindness of a spouse goes nearest to the heart of her husband. How far from being godly are those who scarcely ever shed a tear for sin! If they lose a near relation, they weep, but though they are in danger of losing God and their souls, they do not weep.
Thomas Watson (1620-1686) - Non-conformist preacher in England. Wrote many influential books in his day and is read widely by many evangelicals in our day.
