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.

Ezekiel 30 Preface - An exhortation both to learn and to preach the law of God. The story of God's wrath against the incredulous and disobedient. The Israelites being rejected, God chose Judah, Zion, and David. Psalms 78-38 Daily Light - Morning Humble yourselves... under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. - Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God. Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. Affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. 1 Pe. 5.6; Pro. 16.5 Isa. 64.8-9; Jer. 31.18-19; Lam. 3.27 Job 5.6-7 Daily Light - Evening Yea, hath God said? When the tempter came to [Jesus], he said, if thou be the Son of God... But [Jesus] answered and said, it is written...it is written...it is written... Then the devil leaveth him. I may not return with thee... For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there... He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him. So he went back with him... The man of God...was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD. - Though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. - Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Ge. 3.1; Mt. 4.3,4,7,10,11 1 Ki. 13.16,17,18-19,26; Ga. 1.8; Ps. 119.11 A Puritans Catechism Q 38 - What shall be done to the wicked at their death? A - The souls of the wicked shall at their death be cast into the torments of hell, and their bodies lie in their graves till the resurrection and the judgment of the great day. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of the Holy Scriptures Chapter 1 PARAGRAPH 4 The authority of the Holy Scripture, for which it ought to be believed, depends not upon the testimony of any man or church, but wholly upon God (who is truth itself), the author thereof; therefore it is to be received because it is the Word of God.7 7 2 Pet. 1:19–21; 2 Tim. 3:16; 1 Thess. 2:13; 1 John 5:9 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Look to the cross Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father. Galatians 1 v 4 Some are saying, Oh that the world were crucified to me, and I to the world! Oh that my heart were dead as a stone to the world, and alive to Jesus! Do you truly wish it? Look, then, to the cross. Behold the amazing gift of love. Salvation is promised to a look. Sit down, like Mary, and gaze upon a crucified Jesus. So will the world become a dim and dying thing. When you gaze upon the sun, it makes everything else dark; when you taste honey, it makes everything else tasteless: so when your soul feeds on Jesus it takes away the sweetness of all earthly things, - praise, pleasure, fleshly lusts, all lose their sweetness. Keep a continued gaze. Run, looking unto Jesus. Look, till the way of salvation by Jesus fills up the whole horizon, so glorious and peace-speaking. So will the world be crucified to you, and you unto the world.
