Jonathan Bagster's Daily Light on the Daily Path (Daily)
Morning:
The king held out . . . the golden sceptre
that [was] in his hand. So Esther drew near,
and touched the top of the sceptre.
It shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will
hear; for I [am] gracious.
We have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God
is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God
in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have
boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in
this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth
out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made
perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us.
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of
faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and
our bodies washed with pure water.--For through him we . . .
have access by one Spirit unto the Father.--We have boldness and
access with confidence by the faith of him.--Let us therefore
come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy,
and find grace to help in time of need.

Evening:
They said, . . . It [is] manna:
for they wist not what it [was].
Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God
was manifest in the flesh.--The bread of God is he which cometh
down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.--
If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the
bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the
life of the world.--My flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is
drink indeed.
The children of Israel . . . gathered, some more, some less.
. . . He that gathered little had no lack. . . .They gathered it
every morning, every man according to his eating.
Take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we
drink? . . . Your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of
all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
