Daily Light - Morning
Brethren, the time is short.

Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. - The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. - As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive... Death is swallowed up in victory. - Whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we di unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's - To live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Cast not away...your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. - The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. - The end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

Daily Light - Evening
A new name.

The disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. - Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. - They that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. - Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

Be ye...followers of God, as dear children; and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints... Now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.

A Puritans Catechism
Q 50 - What is required in the fourth commandment?
A - The fourth commandment requires the keeping holy to God such set times as he has appointed in his Word: expressly one whole day in seven, to be a holy sabbath to himself.

PARAGRAPH 2

Although God knoweth whatsoever may or can come to pass, upon all supposed conditions,5 yet hath He not decreed anything, because He foresaw it as future, or as that which would come to pass upon such conditions.6

Mark the change
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: - Genesis 12 v 2
Abraham, before his conversion, was doubtless as selfish and ungodly as any unconverted man among us. Doubtless he thought it beneath him to have family prayer, or to teach his children and servants to know the Saviour. Doubtless he was as cold and selfish in these things as most are among ourselves. But mark the change! When Abraham becomes a child of God, he builds a family altar wherever he goes; and though he had hundres of servants under him, yet he cared anxiously for the souls of them all. 'For I know him,' says God, 'that he will command his servants and his household after him, to keep the ways of the Lord.' Before, he had been a curse; but now he is a blessing.
Dorcas before her conversion was doubtless as selfish, and as fond of worldly things, as all unconverted people are. Doubtless she thought it beneath her to make coats and garments for the poor, doubtless she was as selfish in these things as most are amongst us. But mark the change! When she becomes a child of God, then to do good and to distribute seems to have been the pleasure of her life. This woman was full of good works and alms-deeds, which she did. Before she had been a curse; but now she is a blessing.
Paul I before his conversion was as great an enemy to the truth and as keen a persecutor of Christians as most unconverted persons are: 'I thought I should do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth; I was a blasphemer, and persecutor, and injurious.' But mark the change, when he became a child of God: 'In the bowels of Jesus Christ I long after you all;' 'I will very gladly spend and be spent for you.'
Are you converted? Then see that you be a blessing. Once you were a curse. See that you be as much a blessing.
