September 8, Morning
Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
[Dan.5:27]
The Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him, actions are weighed. ■ That which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. ■ The Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. ■ Be not deceived, God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting.
[I Sam.2:3 | Luke.16:15 | I Sam.16:7 | Gal.6:7,8]
What is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? ■ What things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
[Matt.16:26 | Phi.3:7]
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts. ■ Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing.
[Psa.51:6 | Psa.17:3]
