Golden Text | Psalms 104:31 (to :)
The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever:
Responsive Reading | Deuteronomy 31:30 Moses; 32:1–4, 9;
33:7, 8, 11 (to :), 12
30 . . . Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel
the words of this song, until they were ended.
1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth,
the words of my mouth.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as
the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the
showers upon the grass:
3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye
greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are
judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right
is he.
9 For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his
inheritance.
7 And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, Lord, the
voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands
be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his
enemies.

8 And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with
thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with
whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
11 Bless, Lord, his substance, and accept the work of his hands:
12 And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the Lord shall dwell
in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day
long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.

by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not
made of things which do appear.

5 | Proverbs 12:27 the substance, 28
27 the substance of a diligent man is precious.

thereof there is no death.
6 | Matthew 11:1
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of
commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to
teach and to preach in their cities.
7 | John 4:4–11, 13, 14
4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar,
near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son
Joseph.
6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied
with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the
sixth hour.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith
unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that
thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of
Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of
God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou
wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee
living water.

11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw
with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that
living water?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of
this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him
shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be
in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
8 | I John 2:24, 25
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from
the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the
beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the
Son, and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even
eternal life. God is infinite, the only Life, substance, Spirit, or
Soul, the only intelligence of the universe, including man.

Because Life is God, Life must be eternal, self-existent.

9 | Jeremiah 31:3
3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have
loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with
lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
10 | Mark 6:34
34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was
moved with compassion toward them, because they were as
sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them
many things.
11 | Luke 15:3, 11–14 A certain, 17–22, 24 (to 1st .)
3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
11 A certain man had two sons:
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me
the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto
them his living.
13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all
together, and took his journey into a far country, and there
wasted his substance with riotous living.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in
that land; and he began to be in want.
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired
servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and
I perish with hunger!
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father,
I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as
one of thy hired servants.

20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet
a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and
ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against
heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be
called thy son.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe,
and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on
his feet:
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and
is found.
12 | Proverbs 8:1, 10, 17, 20, 21 (to ;)
1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her
voice?
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather
than choice gold.
17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall
find me.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths
of judgment:
21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance;

The substance of all devotion is the reflection and
demonstration of divine Love, healing sickness and destroying sin.
