Morning

Rejoicing in hope.

The hope which is laid up for you in heaven.--If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.-- We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. --Whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.--No man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.

Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.--The God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.-- Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.-- Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see [him] not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.--By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Evening

I [am] poor and needy; [yet] the Lord thinketh upon me.

I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil.--My thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

How precious . . . are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! [If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.--O LORD, how great are thy works! [and] thy thoughts are very deep. --Many, O LORD my God, [are] thy wonderful works [which] thou hast done, and thy thoughts [which are] to us-ward.

Not many mighty, not many noble, [are called].--Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom?--Having nothing, and [yet] possessing all things.--The unsearchable riches of Christ.
