早上經文
看門的就給他開門;羊也聽他的聲音;他按著名叫自己的羊,把羊領出來。
然而,主認識誰是他的人;又說:「凡稱呼主名的人總要離開不義。」
當那日,必有許多人對我說:「主啊,主啊,我們不是奉你的名傳道,奉你的名趕鬼,奉你的名行許多異能嗎?」
我就明明地告訴他們說:「我從來不認識你們,你們這些作惡的人,離開我去吧!」
因為耶和華知道義人的道路;惡人的道路卻必滅亡。
看哪,我將你銘刻在我掌上;你的牆垣常在我眼前。
求你將我放在你心上如印記,戴在你臂上如戳記,因為愛情如死之堅強,嫉恨如陰間之殘忍;所發的電光是火焰的電光,是耶和華的烈焰。
耶和華本為善,在患難的日子為人的保障,並且認得那些投靠他的人。
在我父的家裡有許多住處;若是沒有,我就早已告訴你們了。我去原是為你們預備地方去。
我若去為你們預備了地方,就必再來接你們到我那裡去,我在哪裡,叫你們也在哪裡。

Morning Scripture
To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice;
and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal:
“The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”
Many will say to Me in that day, “Lord, Lord,
have we not prophesied in Your name,
cast out demons in Your name,
and done many wonders in Your name?”
And then I will declare to them,
“I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!”
For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;
Your walls are continually before Me.
Set me as a seal upon your heart,
As a seal upon your arm;
For love is as strong as death,
Jealousy as cruel as the grave;
Its flames are flames of fire,
A most vehement flame.
The Lord is good,
A stronghold in the day of trouble;
And He knows those who trust in Him.
In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again and receive you to Myself;
that where I am, there you may be also.
