February 18, Morning
Thou art my hope in the day of evil.
[Jer.17:17]
There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. ■ I will sing of thy power; yea I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning; for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
[Psa.4:6 | Psa.59:16]
In my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. Thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. I cried to thee, O Lord: and unto the Lord I made suplication. What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.
[Psa.30:6,8-10]
For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Reeemer. ■ Sorrow shall be turned into joy. ■ Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
[Isa.54:7,8 | John.16:20 | Psa.30:5]
