Quid Mihi Faciendum Est ut Salvus Fiam? — Devotio et Oratio · Scripturae KJV cum Numeris Strong
A DEVOTIONAL AND A PRAYER · MORNING, NOON, AND NIGHT IN THE NEW LIFE
Quid Me Oportet Facere Ut Salvus Fiam — Fundamentum
INTRODUCTIO
The Foundation study answered the great question, what must I do to be saved? This devotional is for the person who has obeyed that answer. Salvation (being saved by God from sin and from death) does not end on the day you are baptized. It begins on that day. This devotional walks with you through one whole day of the new life, morning, noon, and night (Psalm 55:17).
MANE — QUAERITE ME MANE PRIMO
1.Psalmi 5:4 (KJV 5:3)Communica↗Quoniam ad te orabo, Domine: mane exaudies vocem meam.
VERBA HEBRAICA CLAVIA⚑ H6186 arak — direct
Quoniam ad te orabo → Domine: mane exaudies vocem meam.
2.Lamentationes 3:22Communica↗Heth Misericordiæ Domini, quia non sumus consumpti; quia non defecerunt miserationes ejus. (23) Heth Novi diluculo, multa est fides tua.
VERBA HEBRAICA CLAVIA⚑ H2617 chesed — misericordiae
HIS COMPASSIONS FAIL NOT → THEY ARE NEW EVERY MORNING + GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS.
3.Petri I 2:2Communica↗sicut modo geniti infantes, rationabile, sine dolo lac concupiscite: ut in eo crescatis in salutem:
UT INFANTES MODO GENITI + DESIDERATE SINCERUM LAC VERBI → UT IN EO CRESCATIS.
(My personal thoughts — this morning, remember that you woke up as a person God has saved, and his compassions are new again this morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Jesus rose up before daylight to pray, so speak to God before you speak to anyone else (Mark 1:35). Then feed on the word of God the way a newborn baby feeds on milk.)
MERIDIE — ET MERIDIE ORABO
4.Psalmi 54:18 (KJV 55:17)Communica↗Vespere, et mane, et meridie, narrabo, et annuntiabo; et exaudiet vocem meam.
VERBA HEBRAICA CLAVIA⚑ H6672 tsohar — meridies
Vespere, et mane, et meridie, narrabo → et exaudiet vocem meam.
5.Actus Apostolorum 10:9Communica↗Postera autem die, iter illis facientibus, et appropinquantibus civitati, ascendit Petrus in superiora ut oraret circa horam sextam.
VOCES GRAECAE CLAVES⚑ G4336 proseuchomai — pray
ascendit Petrus in superiora ut oraret circa horam sextam.
6.Actus Apostolorum 2:46Communica↗Quotidie quoque perdurantes unanimiter in templo, et frangentes circa domos panem, sumebant cibum cum exsultatione et simplicitate cordis
Quotidie quoque perdurantes unanimiter in templo → sumebant cibum cum exsultatione et simplicitate cordis.
(My personal thoughts — at midday, stop for a short time, because Peter prayed on an ordinary roof at an ordinary hour of an ordinary day (Acts 10:9). The first believers continued daily, not one day of the week (Acts 2:46). Say the morning verse again in your heart, pray a short prayer, and then go back to your work.)
NOCTE — MEDITARE DIE AC NOCTE
7.Psalmi 62:7 (KJV 63:6)Communica↗Si memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutinis meditabor in te.
VERBA HEBRAICA CLAVIA⚑ H1897 hagah — meditari
Si memor fui tui super stratum meum + in matutinis meditabor in te.
8.ad Corinthios II 13:5Communica↗Vosmetipsos tentate si estis in fide: ipsi vos probate. An non cognoscitis vosmetipsos quia Christus Jesus in vobis est? nisi forte reprobi estis.
EXAMINE YOURSELVES, WHETHER YE BE IN THE FAITH + PROVE YOUR OWN SELVES → JESUS CHRIST IS IN YOU.
9.Joannes 15:4Communica↗Manete in me, et ego in vobis. Sicut palmes non potest ferre fructum a semetipso, nisi manserit in vite, sic nec vos, nisi in me manseritis.
VOCES GRAECAE CLAVES⚑ G3306 meno — maneo
Manete in me, et ego in vobis + Sicut palmes non potest ferre fructum a semetipso, nisi manserit in vite.
10.Psalmi 4:9 (KJV 4:8)Communica↗In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
(My personal thoughts — tonight, examine yourself with honest eyes, whether you are still in the faith, and confess any sin to God before you sleep (2 Corinthians 13:5). Jesus is called the vine, which means the living plant that gives life to every branch joined to it, and a branch at night does no work but only stays joined (John 15:4). So stay joined to Jesus, and then lie down in peace, and sleep (Psalm 4:8).)
VERBUM IN CORDE ABSCONDENDUM
Psalmi 118:11 (KJV 119:11)Communica↗In corde meo abscondi eloquia tua, ut non peccem tibi.
VERBA HEBRAICA CLAVIA⚑ H6845 tsaphan — occultavit
In corde meo abscondi eloquia tua → ut non peccem tibi.
COGITATIONES POSTREMAE
Deuteronomium 6:6Communica↗Eruntque verba hæc, quæ ego præcipio tibi hodie, in corde tuo: (7) et narrabis ea filiis tuis, et meditaberis in eis sedens in domo tua, et ambulans in itinere, dormiens atque consurgens.
VERBA HEBRAICA CLAVIA⚑ H3824 lebab — cor
Eruntque verba hæc, quæ ego præcipio tibi hodie → dormiens atque consurgens.
Morning, noon, and night are not three separate duties. They are one whole walk with God through one day. Salvation begins in the truth. It continues in the truth, one ordinary day at a time. Let the word of God rise with you in the morning. Let it steady you at noon. Let it lie down with you at night. Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
HODIE APPLICA
1. This morning, before you eat, read the morning verses out loud one time. Then thank God for one new mercy. A mercy is a kindness from God that you did not earn (Lamentations 3:23).
2. At noon, stop your work for two minutes. Say a short prayer right where you are, the way Peter prayed at the sixth hour (Acts 10:9).
3. Tonight, before you sleep, examine your day. If you find sin, confess that sin to God before you sleep (2 Corinthians 13:5).
4. Tonight, say the memory verse out loud until you can say it with your eyes closed (Psalm 119:11).
ORATIO
My Father in heaven, I thank you for saving me. I did not earn salvation. You gave salvation to me through Jesus Christ your Son. Hear my voice in the morning. In the morning I will direct my prayer to you, and I will look up. Your compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness. Make me hungry for the pure milk of your word, so that I may grow. At noon I will pray, and you will hear my voice. Help me continue daily, with gladness and singleness of heart. At night I will remember you on my bed. Help me examine myself, whether I am still in the faith. If I find sin, help me confess that sin and turn from that sin. Help me stay joined to Jesus, the true vine, because apart from Jesus I can do nothing. I hide your word in my heart, so that I will not sin against you. Keep me from growing lukewarm. Keep my love for you burning, morning, noon, and night. Help me endure to the end, so that I may be saved. You have given me a living hope. You keep me by your power, through faith, to salvation. So I will lay myself down in peace and sleep. You alone, LORD, make me live in safety. Amen.
CLAUSULA
Petri I 1:3Communica↗Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Jesu Christi, qui secundum misericordiam suam magnam regeneravit nos in spem vivam, per resurrectionem Jesu Christi ex mortuis (4) in hæreditatem incorruptibilem, et incontaminatam, et immarcescibilem, conservatam in cælis in vobis (5) qui in virtute Dei custodimini per fidem in salutem, paratam revelari in tempore novissimo.
BEGOTTEN US AGAIN UNTO A LIVELY HOPE → AN INHERITANCE RESERVED IN HEAVEN FOR YOU → KEPT BY THE POWER OF GOD THROUGH FAITH UNTO SALVATION.
(My personal thoughts — God began your salvation, and he keeps it by his own power. So walk with God every morning, every noon, and every night. Your hope is reserved in heaven, and it does not fade away.)
