“For our reioycing is this, the testimonie of our conscience, that in simplicitie and godly purenesse, and not in fleshly wisedome, but by the grace of God wee haue had our conuersation in the worlde, and most of all to you wardes” (2 Corinthians 1:12 1587 Geneva Bible).  Father God, our true joy comes from […]

“Yea, we receiued the sentence of death in our selues, because we shoulde not trust in our selues, but in God, which rayseth the dead. Who deliuered vs from so great a death, and doeth deliuer vs: in whom we trust, that yet hereafter he will deliuer vs. So that ye labour together in prayer […]

“For as the sufferings of Christ abounde in vs, so our consolation aboundeth through Christ. And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and saluation, which is wrought in the induring of the same sufferings, which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and saluation” (2 Corinthians […]

“Why are wee also in ieopardie euery houre? By your reioycing which I haue in Christ Iesus our Lord, I die dayly” (1 Corinthians 15:30, 31 1560 Geneva Bible). Father God, we must lay down ourselves to You daily. What is it You would have us do today? Who needs prayer? Do we have sins […]
