JANUARY 2 EVENING

Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.—PSA. 141:2.

Thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: . . . and thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee. And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: . . . and when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations.

[Jesus] is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.—The smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Pray without ceasing.
