As is my practice, last night before going to bed, I read the evening selection from Daily Light on the Daily Path:

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord. —PSA. 121:1,2.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

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, until that he have mercy upon us. —Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

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. —Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. —Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Psa. 125:2. Psa. 123:1,2. -Psa. 63:7. II Chr. 20:12. -Psa. 25:15. -Psa. 124:8.

I should clarify that I turn to the Scriptures morning and evening, not because I am so holy and perfect, but because I am so needy in spirit (and other ways).

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart. —PSA. 27:14.

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. —Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. —Thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

The trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. —Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

Isa. 40:28,29. -Isa. 41:10. -Isa. 25:4. Jas. 1:3,4. -Heb. 10:35,36.
