Daily Reading Preface - (No preface) Proverbs 16 Preface - Paul exhorteth to rejoice in the Lord, and to beware of the false teachers of the circumcision: shewing that as a Jew he had better grounds of confidence than they; but that he disclaimed them all, trusting only to the justification which is of God by faith, and hoping to partake of the resurrection through Christ. He acknowledgeth his present imperfection, and that he was still anxiously striving for the prize: exhorting others to be likeminded, and to follow his example; for many were enemies to the gospel, being earthly minded; but his conversation and views were heavenly. Philippians 3 Daily Light - Morning Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. - Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? - Heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. The Father himself lovetth you, because ye have loved me. - God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. - There is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. - He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Mt. 25.34; Lu. 12.32; Jas. 2.5; Ro. 8.17 Jn. 16.27; He. 11.16 Rev. 21.7; 2 Tim. 4.8; Phil. 1.6 Daily Light - Evening Riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. - Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. - Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven... For where your treasue is, there will your heart be also. They do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. - We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. - To him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward. - There is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. - A crown of glory that fadeth not away. Pro. 27.24; Ps. 39.6; Col. 3.2; Mt. 6.19-21 1 Co. 9.25; 2 Co. 4.18; Pro. 11.18; 2 Tim. 4.8; 1 Pe. 5.4 A Puritans Catechism Q 24 - How does Christ execute the office of a priest? A - Christ executes the office of a priest, in his once offering up of himself a sacrifice to satisfy divine justice, and reconcile us to God, and in making continual intercession for us. Of Baptism Chapter 29 PARAGRAPH 3 The outward element to be used in this ordinance is water, wherein the party is to be baptized, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.5 5 Matt. 28:19–20; Acts 8:38 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Go to Jesus As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him. - John 2 v 29 It is evident that Mary was the more deeply affected of the two sisters. Martha was able to go about, but Mary sat still in the house. She felt the absence of Christ more than Martha. She believed his word more, and when that word seemed to fail, Mary's heart was nearly broken. Ah! it is a deep sorrow when natural and spiritual grief come together. Affliction is easily borne if we have the smile of Jehovah's countenance. Why does the mourner rise, and hastily drying her tears, with eager step leave the cottage door? Her friends who sat around her she seems quite to forget. 'The Master is come. 'Such is the presence of the Lord Jesus to mourners still. The world's comforters are all physicians of no value. Miserable comforters are they all. They have no balm for a wounded spirit. 'The heart knoweth its own bitterness.' But when the Master comes and calls us, the soul revives. There is life in His call, His voice speaks peace. 'In me ye shall have peace.' Mourners should rise up quickly, and go to Jesus. The bereaved should spread their sorrows at the feet of Christ.
