Daily Readings
Preface - David's psalm of thanksgiving for God's mighty deliverances and manifold blessings.
2 Samuel 22
Preface - Paul sheweth for what purpose after many years he went to Jerusalem; that Titus, who went with him, was not circumcised, and that on purpose to assert the freedom of the Gentile converts from the bondage of the law; that no new knowledge was added to him in conference with the three chief apostles, but that he received from them a public acknowledgement of his divine mission to the Gentiles; that he openly withstood Peter for dissimulation with respect to Gentile communion, expostulating with him, why he, who believed that justification came by the faith of Christ, acted as though it came by the works of the law; which was in effect to frustrate the grace of God.
Galatians 2

A Puritans Catechism
Q6 - How many persons are there in the Godhead?
A - There are three persons in the Godhead: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory.

The wonder of it all
Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb: And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear: even I will carry and will deliver you. -
Isaiah 46 vs 3-4
​There are times in the life of a believer when he is like a traveller who has arrived at some high eminence; he can look back on the way he has gone and the way he has yet to go. So this is a passage where God tells us what He has done and what He will yet do. The history of a believer is wonderful, whether we look backward or forward. If we look back, there is election in a past eternity; and if we look forward there is deliverance and final victory. As Christ's name is 'Wonderful,' so all the members of His body are wonderful, for they are 'men wondered at.'
