God preferreth Job's cause, and maketh his three friends submit themselves to him. He accepteth Job, and doubleth his blessings upon him. Job's children. His age and death. Job 42 Preface - Paul sheweth that, though he had been favoured with visions and revelations, yet for commendation of his apostleship he chose rather to glory in his infirmities: blaming the Corinthians, who had seen in him all the signs of an apostle, for forcing him to such vain boasting. He telleth them of his design of visiting them again with the same disinterestedness and fatherly affection as before. He justifieth himself from any crafty extortion by his messengers; and expresseth his fears, lest, both to his sorrow and theirs, he should find many notorious disorders still not repented of among them. 2 Corinthians 12 Daily Light - Morning There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. Forasmuch...as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. - In Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made night by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace. - By his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us... And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. - He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 1 Tim. 2.5; He. 2.14 Isa. 45.22 1 Jn. 2.1; Eph. 2.13-14; He. 9.12,15; He. 7.25 Daily Light - Evening O my God, my soul is cast down within me. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.'Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength. Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee. - He hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. - Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. - Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on... Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? - Be not faithless, but believing. - Lo, I am with you alway. Ps. 42.6; Isa. 26.3,4 Ps. 55.22; Ps. 22.24; Jas. 5.13 Jn. 14.27; Mt. 6.25,26; Jn. 20.27; Mt. 28.20 A Puritans Catechism Q 34 - What is sanctification? A - Sanctification is the work of God's free grace, whereby we are renewed in the whole man after the image of God, and are enabled more and more to die unto sin, and live unto righteousness. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Repentance unto Life and Salvation Chapter 15 PARAGRAPH 2 Whereas there is none that does good and does not sin, 2 and the best of men may, through the power and deceitfulness of their corruption dwelling in them, with the prevalency of temptation, fall in to great sins and provocations; God has, in the covenant of grace, mercifully provided that believers so sinning and falling be renewed through repentance unto salvation. 3 2 Eccles. 7:20 3 Luke 22:31–32 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Joy Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. Habakkuk 3 v 18 The purest joy in the world is joy in Christ Jesus. When the Spirit is poured down, His people get very near and clear views of the Lord Jesus. They eat His flesh and drink His blood. They come to a personal cleaving to the Lord. They taste that the Lord is gracious. His blood and righteousness appear infinitely perfect, full, and free to their soul. They sit under His shadow with great delight. They rest in the clefts of the rock. Their defence is the munitions of rocks. They lean on the Beloved. They find infinite strength in Him for the use of their soul - grace for grace - all they can need in any hour of trial and suffering to the very end. They go by Him to the Father. "We joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ." We find a portion there - a shield, and exceeding great reward. This gives joy unspeakable and full of glory.
