He desireth his Ephesian converts not to be discouraged at his sufferings on their account; and prayeth that God would strengthen their faith and knowledge of the infinite love of Christ. He giveth glory to God for his power in the church by Christ Jesus. Ephesians 3 Daily Light - Morning Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood. Love is strong as death.... Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. - Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. - In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace. Ye are washed....ye are sanctified....ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. - Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. - beseech you....brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Rev. 1.5; Song 8.6,7' Km/ 15/13 1 Pe. 2.24; Eph. 1.7 1 Co. 6.11; 1 Pe. 2.9; Ro. 12.1 Daily Light - Evening There are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. Over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the storehouses....Jehonathan... And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri... And over the vineyards was Shimei... These were the rulers of the substance which was king David's. God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. - All these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. 1 Co. 12.5; 1 Chr. 27.25,26,27,31 1 Co. 12.28; 1 Co. 12.11 1 Pe. 4.10-11 A Puritans Catechism Q 43 - What is required in the first commandment? A - The first commandment requires us to know and acknowledge God to be the only true God, and our God; and to worship and glorify him accordingly. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of God and the Holy Trinity Chapter 2 PARAGRAPH 3 In this divine and infinite Being there are three subsistences, the Father, the Word or Son, and Holy Spirit, 27 of one substance, power, and eternity, each having the whole divine essence, yet the essence undivided: 28 the Father is of none, neither begotten nor proceeding; the Son is eternally begotten of the Father; 29 the Holy Spirit proceeding from the Father and the Son; 30 all infinite, without beginning, therefore but one God, who is not to be divided in nature and being, but distinguished by several peculiar relative properties and personal relations; which doctrine of the Trinity is the foundation of all our communion with God, and comfortable dependence on Him. 27 1 John 5:7; Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14 28 Exod. 3:14; John 14:11; I Cor. 8:6 29 John 1:14,18 30 John 15:26; Gal. 4:6 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings A hymn of prayer And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrows. And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. 1 Chronicles 4 vs 9-10 O God of Israel, hear my prayer! Let me thy richest blessings share; Thy blessings shall my portion be; Oh! let that blessing rest on me! If shining suns my path attend, And all their cheering influence lend; Thy blessing still I'll most desire, To that my highest hopes aspire. Or, if affliction's storm shall low'r, I'll trust thee in the darkest hour; On thee I'll rest my anxious mind, And in thy blessing comfort find. 'Preserve me from the snares of sin, And ever keep my conscience clean: Till all the cares of life shall cease, And, blessing thee, I die in peace!' Thus pious Jabez often prayed, Reclining on Jehovah's aid; And all who seek the Lord shall find The God of Jabez still as kind. O children! who assemble here, With holy love and humble fear. Like him present the fervent prayer, And in God's richest blessing share.
