He appointeth a band of singers and music to praise the Lord. The psalm of thanksgiving. He appointeth ministers, porters, priests, and musicians, to attend continually on the ark. 1 Chronicles 16 Preface - We must not rashly take upon ourselves to reprove others—the importance, difficulty, and duty, of governing the tongue. True wisdom will shew itself in meekness, peaceableness, and charity, in opposition to strife and envying. James 3 Daily Light - Morning Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. It shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious. - I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God. - I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. - Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. - Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench. Jn. 6.37; Ex. 22.27; Lev. 26.44; Ezek. 16.60 Isa. 1.18; Isa. 55.7; Lu. 23.42-43 Isa. 42.3 Daily Light - Evening His dear Son. Lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. - Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth. - The only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father. In this was manifested the love of God tward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his son to be the propitiation for our sins... And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love. The glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. - Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God. Col. 1.13; Mt. 3.17; Isa. 42.1; Jn. 1.18 1 Jn. 4.9-10,16 Jn. 17.22-24; 1 Jn. 3.1 A Puritans Catechism Q 11 -What are God's works of providence? A - God's works of providence are, his most holy, wise, and powerful preserving and governing all his creatures, and all their actions. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Justification Chapter 11 PARAGRAPH 2 Faith thus receiving and resting on Christ and his righteousness, is the alone instrument of justification; 6 yet is not alone in the person justified, but is ever accompanied with all other saving graces, and is no dead faith, but works by love. 7 6 Rom. 3:28 7 Gal.5:6, James 2:17,22,26 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings The eye of faith Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus. Hebrews 3 v 1 When Christ ascended from the Mount of Olives, and passed through these heavens, carrying His bloody wounds into the presence of God, and when His disciples had gazed after Him, till a cloud received Him out of their sight - we are told that they returned to Jerusalem with great joy. What! are thy joyful at parting with their blessed Master? When he told them He was to leave them, sorrow filled their hearts, and He had to argue with them and comfort them, saying, Let not your hearts be troubled; it is expedient for you that I go away. How, then, are they changed! Jesus has left them, and they are filled with joy. Oh! here is the secret - they knew that Christ was now going into the presence of God for them, that their great High Priest was now entering within the veil to make intercession for them. Now believer, would you share in the great joy of the disciples? Consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus. He is above yon clouds, and above yon sky. O that you would stand gazing up into heaven, not with the bodily eye, but with the eye of faith. Oh! what a wonderful thing the eye of faith is: it sees beyond the stars, it pierces to the throne of God, and there it looks on the face of Jesus making intercession for us, whom having not seen we love, in whom, though now we see Him not, yet believing we rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.
