Daily Light for July 3
July 3rd, 2009Morning
If children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ.
If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God.—So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.—He predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will.
“Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me.”
“The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.”—“The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.”

Evening
God chose what is low and despised in the world.
“Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?”
[Jesus] saw two brothers . . . casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, “Follow me.”—Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
My speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit. . . . Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.”—But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God.
