Last Call: (This Weeks) "Daily Light"

The Last Call Devotions Network

"Legacy"

Legacy Posts will be presented in Weekly Formats

Begining in May and starting ASAP  posts as part of our "Legacy Series" will be posted on Monday AM for the Week. Some of the Classics will post a Sun-Sat; others will be Mon-Fri. This "note" or one similar to it will proceed all Last Call posts for the remainder of this year; 2011. The benefit to the reader is to have a "weeks" worth of Devotions to Read.

As a "free ministry" the Network has exapnded globally and this is a adjustment to grow with that need. The "Current" Series of Devotions will begin to follow the same format. It is likely that many in the "Current" series will be on a One week delay. Any comments or questions please write:

This Weeks

Daily Light

 

Sunday thru Saturday

MARCH 27 Sunday

MORNING

To him that soweth righteousness shall

be a sure reward.

 

AFTER a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. His lord said unto him, Well done,thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

      We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

      I have fought a good fight, I have finishedmy course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

      Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

PROV. 11. 18. Mat. 25. 19-21. 2 Co. 5. 10. 
2 Ti. 4. 7, 8. Re. 3. 11.

 

EVENING

God is faithful.

GOD is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?--The Lord sware and will not repent.

      God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: that by two immutable things, in which it wasimpossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us.--Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

      I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.--Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will doit.--All the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

MARCH 28 Monday

MORNING

Be strong and of a good courage.

THE LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?--He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew theirstrength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; andthey shall walk, and not faint.--My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

      If God be for us, who can be against us?--The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?--Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.--We are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

      Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.

EVENING

Our friend sleepeth.

IWOULD not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

      If the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: and if Christ be not raised, your faith isvain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.--Now is Christ risen from the dead, andbecome the firstfruits of them that slept.

      It came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORDspake unto Joshua, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, . . . and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.--This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.--Witnesses chosen before of God, . . . who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

MARCH 29 Tuesday

MORNING


Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit

the kingdom prepared for you from
 
the foundation of the world.

 

FEAR not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.--Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?--Heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ: if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

      The Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me.--God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

      He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.--There is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.--He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

EVENING

Riches are not for ever: and doth the

crown endure to every generation?

 

SURELY every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.--Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.--Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

      They do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.--We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen.--To him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.--There is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.--A crown of glory that fadeth not away.

MARCH 30 Wednesday

MORNING

Isaac went out to meditate in the field

at the eventide.

 

LET the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

      When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?--The works of the LORD aregreat, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

      Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.--This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night.--My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: when I remember thee upon my bed, andmeditate on thee in the night watches.

Ps. 63. 5, 6.

EVENING

How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD!

for ever? how long wilt thou hide
thy face from me?

EVERY good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.--But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.

      Thou shalt not be forgotten of me. I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins.

      Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.--A woman . . . cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord,thou son of David! But he answered her not a word.

      The trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth.

MARCH 31 Thursday

MORNING

My God shall supply all your need

according to his riches in glory by
 
Christ Jesus.

 

SEEK ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all . . . things shall be added unto you.--He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?--All things are yours: whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and ye are Christ's; and Christ isGod's.--As having nothing, and yetpossessing all things.

      The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.--The LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no goodthing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.--The living God . . . giveth us richly all things to enjoy.--God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.

Ps. 84. 11.--1 Ti. 6. 17.--2 Co. 9. 8.

EVENING

What communion hath light with

darkness?

 

MEN loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.--Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

      Darkness hath blinded his eyes.--Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

      The dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.--Love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

      The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

      I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

      Ye were sometimes darkness, but noware ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.

April 1 Friday

MORNING

 

The fruit of the Spirit is joy.

JOY in the Holy Ghost.--Unspeakable and full of glory.

      Sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing . . . exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.--We glory in tribulations.

      Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; . . . for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.--As the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

      Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.--The joy of the LORD is your strength.

      In thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.--For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

EVENING

 

Jehovah-shalom [The LORD send peace].

BEHOLD, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.

      Behold, a greater than Solomon is here.--Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.--My people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places; when it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.

      He is our peace.--This man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land.

      These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings.

      Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.

April 2 Saturday

MORNING

 

If ye do return unto the LORD with all

your hearts, then put away the
strange gods and Ashtaroth from
among you, and prepare your
hearts unto the LORD, and serve
him only.

 

LITTLE children, keep yourselves from idols.--Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.--Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

      Thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.--Serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts.

      Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.--Man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.--Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

EVENING

 

When the Son of man cometh, shall he

find faith on the earth?

 

HE came unto his own, and his own received him not.--The Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith.

      Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

      Of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.--Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching.--Looking for that blessed hope, . . . the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.
