Morning
Fear not, for I have redeemed you.
Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame; for you will forget the shame of your youth, and will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore. For your Maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is His name; and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. § I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, and like a cloud, your sins. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you. § With the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
Their Redeemer is strong; the Lord of hosts is His name. He will thoroughly plead their case. § My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Isa. 43:1; 54:4–5; 44:22; 1 Peter 1:19; Jer. 50:34; John 10:29; Gal. 1:3–5
Evening
I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord and the praises of
the Lord, according to all that the Lord has bestowed on us.
He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. § The Son of God . . . loved me and gave Himself for me. § He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? § God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. § Who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Isa. 63:7; Ps. 40:2; Gal. 2:20; Rom. 8:32; 5:8; 2 Cor. 1:22; Eph. 1:14; 2:4–6
