My Daily Meditation
Return to Your First Love
2 I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear with them which are evil, and hast examined them which say they are Apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars.
3 And thou wast burdened, and hast patience, and for my Name’s sake hast labored, and hast not fainted.
4 Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent and do the first works: or else I will come against thee shortly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou amend.
6 But this thou hast that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 Let him that hath an ear hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churches: To him that overcometh, will I give to eat of the tree of life which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.
The Revelation of Saint John Chapter 2:2-7
1 Behold, a King shall reign in justice, and the princes shall rule in judgment.
2 And that man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and as a refuge for the tempest, as rivers of water in a dry place, and as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3 The eyes of the seeing shall not be shut, and the ears of them that hear, shall hearken.
4 And the heart of the foolish shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stutters shall be ready to speak distinctly.
The Book of Isaiah Chapter 32:1-4
Read One Psalm a Day
Psalm One Hundred Five
1 Praise the Lord, and call upon his Name:
declare his works among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing praise unto him, and talk
of all his wondrous works.
3 Rejoice in his holy Name, let the heart of them
that seek the Lord, rejoice.
4 Seek the Lord and his strength: seek his face
continually.
5 Remember his marvelous works that he
hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his
mouth,
6 Ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of
Jacob, which are his elect.
7 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are
through all the earth.
8 He hath always remembered his covenant, and
promise, that he made to a thousand generations,
9 Even that which he made with Abraham, and
his oath unto Isaac:
10 And since hath confirmed it to Jacob for a law,
and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,
the lot of your inheritance.
12 Albeit they were few in number, yea very few,
and strangers in the land,
13 And walked about from nation to nation, from
one kingdom to another people,
14 Yet suffered he no man to do them wrong, but
reproved Kings for their sakes, saying,
15 Touch not mine anointed, and do my Prophets
no harm.
16 Moreover, he called a famine upon the land,
and utterly brake the staff of bread.
17 But he sent a man before them: Joseph was sold
for a slave.
18 They held his feet in the stocks, and he was
laid in irons,
19 Until his appointed time came, and the counsel
of the Lord had tried him.
20 The King sent and loosed him: even the Ruler
of the people delivered him.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of
all his substance,
22 That he should bind his princes unto his will,
and teach his Ancients wisdom.
23 Then Israel came to Egypt, and Jacob was a
stranger in the land of Ham.
24 And he increased his people exceedingly, and
made them stronger than their oppressors.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, and
to deal craftily with his servants.
26 Then sent he Moses his servant, and Aaron
whom he had chosen.
27 They showed among them the message of his
signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark: and they
were not disobedient unto his commission.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew
their fish.
30 Their land brought forth frogs, even in their
King’s chambers.
31 He spake, and there came swarms of flies and
lice in all their quarters.
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flames of fire
in their land.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees,
and brake down the trees in their coasts.
34 He spake and the grasshoppers came, and
caterpillars innumerable,
35 And did eat up all the grass in their land, and
devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land,
even the beginning of all their strength.
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold,
and there was none feeble among their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad at their departing: for the fear
of them had fallen upon them.
39 He spread a cloud to be a covering, and fire to
give light in the night.
40 They asked, and he brought quails, and he
filled them with the bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and the water flowed out,
and ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For he remembered his holy promise to
Abraham his servant,
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and
his chosen with gladness,
44 And gave them the lands of the heathen, and
they took the labors of the people in possession,
45 That they might keep his statutes, and observe
his Laws. Praise ye the Lord.
