October 13, Morning
From the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard.
[Dan.10:12]
Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. ■ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. ■ Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. ■ Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. ■ God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God.
[Isa.57:15 | Psa.51:17 | Psa.138:6 | I Pet.5:6 | Jas.4:6,7]
Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
[Psa.86:5-7]
