Daily Reading 8) Preface - Isaiah prophesieth under a type the spoiling of Syria and Israel by the king of Assyria; and that Judah also shall be overrun by him. God's purposes irresistible. Comfort shall be to them that fear God, and trust in him; but mischief to idolaters. 9) Preface - The joy of the church in the birth and kingdom of Christ. God's judgments upon Israel for their pride, impenitency, and wickedness. Isaiah 8:1-9:7 Preface - It is not agreeable to the Christian profession to regard the rich, and despise the poor. The guilt of any one breach of the law. The obligation to mercy. Faith without works is dead. We are justified, as Abraham and Rahab were, by works, and not by faith only. James 2 Daily Light - Morning For the purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in hight places. - Forasmuch...as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. - And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them. - I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is the come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Jn. 3.8; Eph. 6.12; He. 2.14; Col. 2.15; Rev. 12.10-11 1 Co. 15.57 Daily Light - Evening Vanity of vanities; all is vanity. We spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. - Here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. - I am the LORD, I change not. - Our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working wereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. - The creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. - Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. Ec. 1.2; Ps. 90.9-10 1 Co. 15.19; He. 13.14; Mal 3.6; Phil. 3.20-21; Ro. 8.20 He. 13.8; Rev. 4.8 A Puritans Catechism Q 63 - Which is the tenth commandment? A - The tenth commandment is, Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbour's. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Divine Providence Chapter 5 PARAGRAPH 5 The most wise, righteous, and gracious God does often times leave for a season His own children to manifold temptations and the corruptions of their own hearts, to chastise them for their former sins, or to discover unto them the hidden strength of corruption and deceitfulness of their hearts, that they may be humbled; and to raise them to a more close and constant dependence for their support upon Himself; and to make them more watchful against all future occasions of sin, and for other just and holy ends.15 So that whatsoever befalls any of His elect is by His appointment, for His glory, and their good.16 15 2 Chron. 32:25–26,31; 2 Cor. 12:7-9 16 Rom. 8:28 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Complete And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: - Colossians 2 v 10 Learn how complete a Saviour Christ is. God did not choose a man to this great work. He did not choose an angel. He passed by them all, and chose His Son. Why? Because He saw none other could be a sufficient Saviour. If Christ had not been enough, God never would have called Him to it.. God knew well the weight of His own wrath; and, therefore, He provided an almighty back to bear it. Trembling sinner, do not doubt the completeness of Christ. God knew all your sins and your wrath when He chose Christ - that they were both infinite; and therefore He chose an almighty, an infinite Saviour. Oh! hide in Him, and you are complete in Him.
