Jeremiah complaineth of the persecutions he met with, and curseth the day of his birth.

John the Baptist imprisoned and beheaded by Herod at the instigation of Herodias. The apostles return from their mission. The miracle of five thousand fed with five loaves and two fishes.

Of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is... And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. - The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. - The coming of the Lord draweth nigh... The judge standeth before the door. - Surely I come quickly. Seering....that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness? The end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. - Let your loins be girded about and your lights burning; and ye yourselves like unto men that wait fo rtheir lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comeht and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. 1 Co. 15.24; Mk. 13.32-33,37; 2 Pe. 3.9; Jas. 5.8,9; Rev. 22.20 2 Pe. 3.11 1 Pe. 4.7; Lu. 12.35-36 Daily Light - Evening Brethren, pray for us. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him... And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up... Pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. Without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers. - Always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. 1 Th. 5.25; Jas. 5.14,15,16-18 Eph. 6.18 Ro. 1.9; Col. 4.12 A Puritans Catechism Q 10 - How did God create man? A - God created man, male and female, after his own image, in knowledge, righteousness, and holiness, with dominion over the creatures. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Christ the Mediator Chapter 8 PARAGRAPH 6 Although the price of redemption was not actually paid by Christ until after His incarnation, yet the virtue, efficacy, and benefit thereof were communicated to the elect in all ages, successively from the beginning of the world, in and by those promises, types, and sacrifices wherein He was revealed, and signified to be the seed which should bruise the serpent's head;34 and the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world,35 being the same yesterday, and today and for ever.36 34) 1 Cor. 4:10; Heb. 4:2; 1 Pet. 1:10–11 35) Rev. 13:8 36) Heb. 13:8 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Good News For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. 2 Corinthians 8 v 9 Corinth was one of the most wicked cities that ever was on the face of the world. It lay between two seas; so that luxury came flowing in from the east and from the west. These Corinthians had been saved from the deepest abominations, as you learn from 1 Corinthians 6 v 11: 'Such were some of you'; and yet it was for the sake of such that the Lord of glory became poor - 'For your sakes'. In like manner, Paul writing to the Romans, says: 'When we were without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly' (5:6). Ah! see what names are here given to those for whom Christ died: without strength - unable to believe, or to think a right thought; ungodly - living as if there were no God; sinners - breaking God's holy law; enemies - hating and opposing a holy God of love. Oh, brethren! this is good news for the most wicked of men. Are there some of you who feel that you are like a beast before God, or all over sin. like a devil? Some o fyou have lived in the abominations of Corinth. Some of you are like the Romas - without strength, ungodly, sinners, enemies; yet for your sakes Christ became poor. He left glory for souls as vile a syou. He left the songs of angels, the love of his Father, and the glories of heaven for just such wretches as you and me. He died for the ungodly. So not be afraid, sinners, to lay hold upon him. It was for your sakes he came. He will not, he cannot cast you out.
