Daily Prayer - Friday
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.

Daily Reading Plan - First Year David's psalm of thanksgiving for God's might deliverances and manifold blessings. 2 Samuel 22 Preface - Paul sheweth for what purpose after many years he went to Jerusalem; that Titus, who went with him, was not circumcised, and that on purpose to assert the freedom of the Gentile converts from the bondage of the law; that no new knowledge was added to him in conference with the three chief Apostles, but that he received from them a public acknowledgement of his divine mission to the Gentiles; that he openly withstood Peter for dissimulation with respect to Gentile communion, expostulating with him, why he, who believed that justification came by the faith of Christ, acted as though it came by the works of the law; which was in effect to frustrate the grace of God. Galatians 2 Daily Light - Morning A God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. Him that judgeth righteously. - We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the tings done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. - Every one of us shall give account of himself to God. - The soul that sinneth, it shall die. Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd. - The LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. - Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. - Mercy rejoiceth against judgment. - The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. A just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. - Just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. - Justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Deu. 32.4; 1 Pe. 2.23; 2 Co. 5.10; Ro. 14.12; Ezek. 18.4 Zech. 13.7; Isa. 53.6; Ps. 85.10; Jas. 2.13; Ro. 6.23 Isa. 45.21; Ro. 3.26; Ro. 3.24 Daily Light - Evening Death is swallowed up in victory. Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 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 deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. If we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more, death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 1 Co. 15.54; 1 Co. 14.47 He. 2.14-15 Ro. 6.8-10 Ro. 6.11 Ro. 8.37 A Puritans Catechism Q 37 - What benefits do believers receive from Christ at the resurrection? A - At the resurrection, believers, being raised up in glory, shall be openly acknowledged and acquitted in the day of judgment, and made perfectly blessed both in soul and body in the full enjoying God to all eternity. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of the Holy Scriptures Chapter 3 PARAGRAPH 6 The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for His own glory, man's salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down or necessarily contained in the Holy Scripture: unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new revelation of the Spirit, or traditions of men. 9 Nevertheless, we acknowledge the inward illumination of the Spirit of God to be necessary for the saving understanding of such things as are revealed in the Word, 10 and that there are some circumstances concerning the worship of God, and government of the church, common to human actions and societies, which are to be ordered by the light of nature and Christian prudence, according to the general rules of the Word, which are always to be observed. 11 9 2 Tim. 3:15-17; Gal. 1:8,9 10 John 6:45; 1 Cor. 2:9-12 11 1 Cor. 11:13,14; 1 Cor. 14:26,40 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings The wonder of it all Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb: And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear: even I will carry and will deliver you. Isaiah 46 vs 3-4 There are times in the life of a believer when he is like a traveller who has arrived at some high eminence; he can look back on the way he has gone and the way he has yet to go. So this is a passage where God tells us what He has done and what He will yet do. The history of a believer is wonderful, whether we look backward of forward. If we look back, there is election in a past eternity; and if we look forward, there is deliverance and final victory. As Christ's name is 'Wonderful,' so all the members of His body are wonderful, for they are 'men wondered at.'
