Daily Prayer - Friday
- Give thanks to God for many good things we enjoy and daily blessings. - Pray the Lord would supply the needs of those in the congregation at Westminster and guide us as we help those destitute and suffering. Especially those we have met in the pandemic. (Numbers 6.24-26.) - Pray for the ministry among the children and that they would know Christ from a young age. A rich blessing in this troubled world. - Pray for the evangelistic work, that people would know the greatest blessing of all: salvation by the grace of God through Christ.

Job 15 Preface - Paul sheweth that he could not instruct the Corinthians in the higher doctrine of Christianity because of their carnal mind; this state of mind revealed itself in their factions. The most eminent preachers of the gospel are but instruments employed by God in building his church. Paul hath laid the only true foundation, Christ Jesus; and others must take heed what they build thereon. Christians are God's temple, not to be defiled. Worldly wisdom is foolishness with God. They that are Christ's must not glory in men. 1 Corinthians 3 Daily Light - Morning Thy name is as ointment poured forth. Christ...hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour. - Unto you therefore which believe he is precious. - God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow. - In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. If ye love me, keep my commandments. - The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. - The house was filled with the odour of the ointment. - They took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. - Emmanuel...God with us. - His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The might God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. - The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. Song 1.3; Eph. 5.2; 1 Pe. 2.7; Phil. 2.9-10; Col. 2.9 Jn. 14.15; Ro. 5.5; Jn. 12.3; Ac. 4.13 Ps. 8.1; Mt. 1.23; Isa. 9.6; Pro. 18.10 Daily Light - Evening We that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened. Mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me...Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not his from thee. - O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves...which have the firstfruits of the Spirit...groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. - Now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations. Shortly I must put off this my tabernacle. - For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 2 Co. 5.4; Ps. 38.4,9; Ro. 7.24 Ro. 8.22-23; 1 Pe. 1.6 2 Pe. 1.14; 1 Co. 15.53-54 A Puritans Catechism Q 66 - Are all transgressions of the law equally heinous? A - Some sins in themselves, and by reason of various aggravations, are more heinous in the sight of God than others. BAPTIST CONFESSION OF FAITH Of Religious Worship and The Sabbath Day Chapter 22 PARAGRAPH 2 Religious worship is to be given to God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and to him alone;4 not to angels, saints, or any other creatures;5 and since the fall, not without a mediator,6 nor in the mediation of any other but Christ alone.7 4 Matt. 4:9–10; John 6:23; Matt. 28:19 5 Rom. 1:25; Col. 2:18; Rev. 19:10 6 John 14:6 7 1 Tim. 2:5 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Radiant saints Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. - Matthew 5 v 14 If the sun were to grow weary of running his daily journey, and were to give over shining, would you not say it should be taken down, for did not God hang it in the sky to give light upon the earth? Just, so dear Christians, if you grow weary in well-doing, in shining with Christ's beauty, in walking by Christ's Spirit, you, too, should be taken down and cast away - for did not Christ arise upon you for this very end, that you might be a light in the world? Ah! think of this, dark, useless Christians, who are putting your candle under a bushel. I tremble for some who will not lay themselves out for Christ. Ah! you are wronging yourselves and dishonouring Christ. Your truest happiness is in shining; the mroe you shine for Christ, the happier you will be. 'To me to live is Christ; and to die, gain.'
