Man - The Dwelling Place of God - How to Try the Spirits

" That put their trust in thee." Among all the people on the face of the earth, these are the only ones that properly speaking have anything to do with joy. In thee - in the God of the Bible - the God of whom Moses wrote, whom David feared, whom Elijah served, whom Isaiah saw in the temple, whose angel succored Daniel, who was manifest in Christ, and who for Christ's sake gave the Spirit to the apostles and giveth it unto us. Some believe that they can improve upon the character of God in the Bible. They discover here a blemish, there another. They pity those who insist upon looking to God just as he is revealed in his word. Yet they call themselves Christians, and imagine that they are trusting in God. But they who do not implicitly trust his word cannot be said to trust in Him. That put their trust in thee. They trust not in uncertain riches, for happiness and security against the possible ills of time, but in God. They show the trust they put in God, by daring to be singular, to be unconformed to the ways of the world, and boldly setting aside the decrees of society where these tend to hinder the fullest exhibition of pure religion. They trust in the Lord Jesus Christ for righteousness, sanctification, and complete redemption. They believe that every divine commandment is good, is the expression of wisdom and love, and they view disobedience as a fall from faith. They evince their faith in God, by surrendering themselves to the direction of the Spirit of God, to be guided by him in all things and in all times. A life of perfect faith would be a life of perfect obedience. There is faith, however, before there is perfect faith. The first lispings of faith are agreeable to God. There is the promise of eventual perfection in them. Let these rejoice. For by faith they have access to a domain that is altogether enchanting and soul-satisfying. The promises of God are theirs, and winged by these they escape from the dark and frowning things of earth, to scenes that are radiant with all that is beautiful and heavenly. Other men are chained to earth; these sit in heavenly places. Other men are chained to the present; these expatiate in a veritable future, not illusory. Other men are chained to men; these walk with God.

A daily devotional written by a Baptist Missionary to India, Reverend George Bowen (1816-1888) over 150 years ago.

Bowen's Daily Meditations

"Let all those that put their trust in thee, rejoice."- Psalms 5:11. 

When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from … he said … , “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!” The ear tests words as the palate tastes food. § I believed and therefore I spoke. § I know whom I have believed. § I sat down in his shade with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. The goodness of God. § He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. Let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; let them ever shout for joy.

Daily Light on the Daily Path or Daily Light is a Christian daily devotional scripture reading published by Bagster & Sons about 1875. It has been reprinted continually since then. It consists of brief groupings of scripture passages which speak to prominent Biblical themes—two themes (morning and evening) for each day of the year. It appends no commentary, but simply allows scripture to speak for itself.

Evening Daily Light

From Wikipedia: 

The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1978 by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society). The NIV was published to meet the need for a modern translation done by Bible scholars using the earliest, highest quality manuscripts available. Of equal importance was that the Bible be expressed in broadly understood modern English.

The NIV is published by Zondervan in the United States and Hodder & Stoughton in the UK. The NIV was updated in 1984 and 2011 and has become one of the most popular and best-selling modern translations.
