Readings
from Scripture for Day 8
I
Chronicles 29:10-13 It is in your hand to make great and to give strength
to all
10 Therefore David blessed the LORD
in the presence of all the assembly; and David said: "Blessed art thou,
O LORD, the God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. 11 Thine, O LORD,
is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the
majesty; for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is thine;
thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above
all. 12 Both riches and honor come from thee, and thou rulest over all.
In thy hand are power and might; and in thy hand it is to make great and
to give strength to all. 13 And now we thank thee, our God, and praise
thy glorious name.
Psalms
21:1-7 You set a crown of fine gold on his head
1 In thy strength the king rejoices,
O LORD; and in thy help how greatly he exults!
2 Thou hast given him his heart's
desire, and hast not withheld the request of his lips. [Selah]
3 For thou dost meet him with goodly
blessings; thou dost set a crown of fine gold upon his head.
4 He asked life of thee; thou gavest
it to him, length of days for ever and ever.
5 His glory is great through thy
help; splendor and majesty thou dost bestow upon him.
6 Yea, thou dost make him most blessed
for ever; thou dost make him glad with the joy of thy presence.
7 For the king trusts in the LORD;
and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.
Revelation
3:19b-22 To the one who conquers I will give a place with me on my
throne
19b So be zealous and repent. 20
Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens
the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. 21 He
who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I myself
conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 He who has an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'"
John
12:23-26 Whoever serves me, the Father will honor
23 And Jesus answered them, "The
hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say
to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains
alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 He who loves his life loses
it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
26 If any one serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there shall
my servant be also; if any one serves me, the Father will honor him.
