Revelation 1:1-4; 2:1-5
Psalm 1:1-2, 3, 4, 6
Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence.But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whosoever he shall do shall prosper.Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.
Luke 18:35-43
Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging.And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.And he cried out, saying: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.And they that went before, rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me.And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him,Saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see.And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
For Today
My children, love and fear God; for they who fear God, have not to fear death.
