SPIRITUAL DAILY LIFE.

When I remember Thee upon my bed and meditate on Thee in the night watches, and when I awake my mouth shall praise Thee, because Thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice. (Ps. 63: 6, 7).

Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him. (Col. 3: 17).

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (I. Cor. 10: 31).

Seven times a day do I praise Thee, because of Thy righteous judgments. (Ps. 119: 164).
