Here are a few classic old devotional messages.  I retrieved them
using something called "bible time" software, which is freely
available in "open free software".  I believe that these are old
messages and they are.  At first I thought they came from
Charles Haddon Spurgeon, but my information says that they
are Prepared by Jonathan Bagster [1813-1872].

02.16 Morning:
 
 Thy name [is as] ointment poured forth.
 
 Christ . . . hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an
 offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour.-- To
 you therefore who believe [he is] precious.--God also hath
 highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every
 name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow.--In him
 dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
 
 If ye love me, keep my commandments.--The love of God is shed
 abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given to us.--
 The house was filled with the odour of the ointment.--They took
 knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
 
 O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the
 earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.--Emmanuel . . .
 God with us.--His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
 The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.--
 The name of the LORD [is] a strong tower: the righteous runneth
 into it, and is safe.
 
  So 1:3 Eph 5:2 1Pe 2:7 Php 2:9,10 Col 2:9 Joh 14:15 Ro 5:5
  Joh 12:3 Ac 4:13 Ps 8:1 Mt 1:23 Isa 9:6 Pr 18:10
 
 
 Evening:
 
 We that are in [this] tabernacle do groan, being burdened.
 
 Lord, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is not
 hid from thee. . . . My iniquities have gone over my head: as an
 heavy burden they are too heavy for me.--O wretched man that I
 am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
 
 The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together
 until now. And not only [they], but ourselves . . ., who have
 the firstfruits of the Spirit, . . . groan within ourselves,
 waiting for the adoption, [that is], the redemption of our body.
 --Now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through
 various temptations.
 
 Shortly I must put off [this] my tabernacle.--For this
 corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put
 on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on
 incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,
 then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death
 is swallowed up in victory.
