7 October

Morning:
The meek will he teach his way. Blessed [are] the meek. I returned, and saw under the sun, that
the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet
riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill.--A man's heart deviseth his way:
but the LORD directeth his steps. Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the
heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their masters, [and] as the eyes
of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes [wait] upon the LORD our God.--Cause
me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. O our God, wilt thou
not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither
know we what to do: but our eyes [are] upon thee. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of
God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. When he,
the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth.

Evening:
O Lord GOD, . . . with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever. Thou
blessest, O LORD, and [it shall be] blessed for ever.-- The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich,
and he addeth no sorrow with it. Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more
blessed to give than to receive.--When thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame,
the blind: and thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be
recompensed at the resurrection of the just.--Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I
was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: naked, and ye clothed me:
I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Blessed [is] he that
considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD God [is] a sun
and shield.
