For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. On God rests my deliverance and my honor; my mighty rock, my refuge is in God. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.
~Psalm 62:5-8
Amen to your posts, Carb and Kitty.
Daily Light on the Daily Path
May 29
Morning
“For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.”
“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”—The blood of the Lamb.—The precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.—Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.—The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
He entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.—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.
You were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
Lev. 17:11; John 1:29; Rev. 7:14; 1 Pet. 1:19; Heb. 9:22; 1 John 1:7; Heb. 9:12; Heb. 10:19, 20, 22; 1 Cor. 6:20
LORD, your Word really says that we should glorify you in our bodies. No talk there of self indulgence, or looking for the next opportunity to satisfy all my desires.
LORD, this day and ever, help me learn to put your desires for my life first, always first.
You gave your only Son.
Let me give my entire life in a new way.
Bless those who cry out to you today.
Guide those seeking your will.
Answer those who wait patiently for you.
You are Good and your Mercy endures FOREVER.

Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calvary’s mountain.
Refrain
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.
Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the bright and morning star
Sheds its beams around me.
Refrain
Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadows o’er me.
Refrain
Near the cross I’ll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.
—Fanny Crosby, 1869
