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
“Unto God would I commit my cause:”
I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety. Job 5:8-11 Read This Chapter
Hymn
“Thine hands have made me.” Job 10:8
Sing, my soul, to God Who made thee,
Raise to Heaven thy grateful voice;
All His creatures, singing, bid thee
In His goodness now rejoice.
Pure and holy love unbounded
Fills His tender heart and kind;
All who truly serve Him find
Rest, by God’s strong arm surrounded.
Chorus
Heaven and earth may not endure,
But God’s love is ever sure.
E’en the Son He loved so dearly,
Died that we through Him might live,
Was e’er love like His, Who merely
Lived His life in love to give?
Holy Spirit, teach and guide me,
Fill my heart with loving faith;
Faith can break the power of death,
Naught I fear with Thee beside me.
When I sleep His care surrounds me,
With new strength and youth imbues;
His unbounded grace confounds me,
Each new morn His love renews.
In sore trial and temptation
He, my Savior, still is near,
Bids me, “Child do thou not fear,
Thou shalt yet see My salvation.”
Consolation
Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified. But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God. Psalm 40:15-17
Exhortation
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. John 5:38-40

Proverbs
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. Proverbs 1: 5-6 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, both are abominable before God. What doth it avail a fool to have riches, seeing he cannot buy wisdom? He that maketh his house high, seeketh a downfall: and he that refuseth to learn, shall fall into evils. He that is a friend loveth at all times: and a brother is proved in distress. A foolish man will clap hands, when he is surety for his friend. He that studieth discords, loveth quarrels: and he that exalteth his door, seeketh ruin. He that is of a perverse heart, shall not find good: and he that perverteth his tongue, shall fall into evil. A fool is born to his own disgrace: and even his father shall not rejoice in a fool. Proverbs17:15-21
