Daily reading
The Kings of Canaan combine against Israel. The Gibeonites by craft obtain a league: the fraud is discovered,
but they are saved on account of the oath of the princes. Joshua condemneth them to perpetual bondage.

A Puritan Catechism
Q12. What special act of providence did God exercise towards man in the state wherein he was created?
A. When God had created man, he entered into a covenant of life with him, upon condition of perfect obedience,
forbidding him to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, upon pain of death.

Daily Devotional Readings:
Different ways
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrightousness?
and what communion hath light with an infidel? (2 Corinthians 6 v 14)
Can two walk together except they be agreed? It is impossible that two souls can be happy together if they love opposite things.
It is like two bullocks in the yoke drawing different ways. Hence the deep wisdom of the command which forbids God's children to
intermarry with the world. What fellowship hath light with darkness? In the same way with Christ's bride,
she must be of one mind with him, if she would enter in with him to the marriage.
Suppose one of you who has an old heart were to be admitted with Christ to the marriage. Your heart is enmity to God, you hate God's people,
the Sabbath is a weariness, you serve divers lusts and pleasures. The Lamb that is in the midst of the Throne would lead you,
and God would wipe away tears from your eyes. But you hate God and the Lamb. How could you be happy there?
None but God's children or companions (psalm-singing hypocrites, as you used to call them) - could you be happy with them? An eternal Sabbath!
My highest notion of heaven is an eternal Sabbath with Christ. Could you be happy? Could you enjoy it?
Ah, my friends, there shall in no wise enter in any that defileth, and that maketh or loveth a lie. If you are still unborn again, you are not ready.
