Esther accuseth Haman. The king in wrath, being told of the gallows prepared for Mordecai, causeth Haman to be hanged thereon. Esther 7 Preeface - They that condemn sin in others, and are guilty of the same themselves, cannot escape God's judgment; which will be according to every man's deserts, without distinction of Jew or Gentile. The Gentiles are not left without a rule of conduct. The Jew, who boasteth of greater light, is doubly criminal in sinning against it; nor will circumcision profit him, except he keep the law. Romans 2 Daily Light - Morning Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. If any man will come after me, let him deny himself. and take up his cross daily, and follow me. - Whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. - Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness. Every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: but I keep under y body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. - Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. - Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD. He. 12.1-2; Lu. 9.23; Lu. 14.33; Ro. 13.12 1 Co 9.25-27; Phil. 3.13-14; Hos. 6.3 Daily Light - Evening It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. We have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.... It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. - Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. Lam. 3.27; Pro. 22.6 He. 12.9-10 Ps. 119.67,71 Jer. 29.11; 1 Pe. 5.6 A Puritans Catechism Q 81 - What is required for the worthy receiving of the Lord's Supper? A - It is required of them who would worthily partake of the Lord's Supper, that they examine themselves of their knowledge to discern the Lord's body, of their faith to feed upon him, of their repentance, love, and new obedience; lest, coming unworthily, they eat and drink judgment to themselves. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Repentance unto Life and Salvation Chapter 15 PARAGRAPH 2 Whereas there is none that does good and does not sin, 2 and the best of men may, through the power and deceitfulness of their corruption dwelling in them, with the prevalency of temptation, fall in to great sins and provocations; God has, in the covenant of grace, mercifully provided that believers so sinning and falling be renewed through repentance unto salvation. 3 2 Eccles. 7:20 3 Luke 22:31–32 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Victory assured These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16 v 33 In all other battles we do not know how the victory is to turn until the battle is won. In the battle of Waterloo, it was long thought that the French had gained; and Napoleon sent several despatches to Paris telling that he had won. But in the fight with the world, Satan and the flesh, we know how the victory is to turn already. Christ has engaged to carry us through. He will guard us against the darts of the law, by hiding us in His blood, He defends us from the power of sin by His Holy Spirit put within us. He will keep us, in the secret of His presence, from the strife of tongues. The thicker the battle, the closer will He keep to us; so that we can sing already: 'I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.' We know that we shall overcome. Though the world were a million times more enraged - though the fires of persecution were again to be kindled - though my heart were a million times more wicked - though all the temptations of hell were let loose upon me - I know I shall overcome through Him that loved me. When Paul and Silas sang in the low dungeon, they were more than conquerors. When Paul sang, in spite of his thorn, 'I will glory in my infirmities,' he was more than a conqueror.
