MORNING

Take thou also unto thee principal spices, and thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment.

Exodus 30:23,25

Upon man’s flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you. — One Spirit. — Diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

Thy God hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. — God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power. — God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

Of his fulness have all we received. — As the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. — He which … hath anointed us, is God; who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

EVENING

The fashion of this world passeth away.

1 Corinthians 7:31

All the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.

Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: but the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning beat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. — For what is your life? It is even a vapour of that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. — The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. — When they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
