Manner of Life
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Psalm 127:1
Daily Meditation
“And as thou hast believed,”
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour. And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. Matthew 8:12-14 Read Matthew 8

Hymn
“If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” Luke 9:23
Believe not those who say
The upward path is smooth,
Lest thou should stumble in the way,
And faint before the truth.

It is the only road
Unto the realms of joy;
But he who seeks that blest abode
Must all his powers employ.

To labor and to love,
To pardon and endure,
To lift thy heart to God above,
And keep thy conscience pure.

Be this thy constant aim,
Thy hope, thy chief delight,
What matter who should whisper blame
Or who should scorn or slight.

What matters—if God approve,
And if within thy breast,
Thou feel the comfort of His love,
The earnest of His rest?

Proverbs
He that gathereth treasures by a lying tongue, is vain and foolish, and shall stumble upon the snares of death. The robberies of the wicked shall be their downfall, because they would not do judgment. The perverse way of a man is strange: but as for him that is pure, his work is right. It is better to sit in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling women, and in a common house. The soul of the wicked desireth evil, he will not have pity on his neighbour. Proverbs 21:6-10

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. Psalm 119:5-7
