Daily Reading Plan - Second Year Preface - Elihu again reproveth Job of setting up his own righteousness against God's, between whom and man there is no comparison. The good or evil actions of men extend not to God. If God heareth not the cry of the afflicted, it is because they address him not as they ought. The application of this doctrine to the case of Job.. Job 35 Preface - Paul reproveth a scandalous incest committed and protected from censure in the church at Corinth; and by his authority in Christ excommunicateth the offender. The necessity of purging out the old leaven. Christians guilty of notorious crimes are not to be consorted with. 2 Corinthians 5 Daily Light - Morning He...preserveth the way of his saints. The LORD your God... went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day. - As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: so the LORD alone did lead him. - The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. - Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. - For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. - We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. - With us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy. Pro. 2.8; Deu. 1.32.33; Deu.32.11,12; Ps. 37.23,24; Ps. 34.19; Ps. 1.6; Ro. 8.28; 2 Chr. 32.8 Zeph. 3.17 Daily Light - Evening My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him...the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all... For the transgression of my people was he stricken... It pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief. Jesus our Lord...was delivered for our offences. - Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just fo rthe unjust, that he might bring us to God. - 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. He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us. Mt. 27.46; Isa. 53.5,6,8,10 Ro. 4.24,25; 1 Pe. 3.18; 1 Pe. 2.24 2 Co. 5.21 Ga. 3.13 A Puritans Catechism Q 27 - Wherein consists Christ's exaltation? A - Christ's exaltation consists in his rising again from the dead on the third day, in ascending up into heaven, in sitting at the right hand of God the Father, and in coming to judge the world at the last day. 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 Needless tears And God shall wipe away all ears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed way. Revelation 21 v 4 This world is a vale of tears. There are always some mourning. No sooner is the tear dried up on one cheek that it trickles down another. Those that are in Christ should weep as though they wept not; 'for the time is short.' Do you weep over those that died in the Lord? It is right to weep: 'Jesus wept.' Yet weep as thou you wept not; 'for the time is short.' They are not lost, but gone before. The sun, when it sets, is not lost; it is gone to shine in another hemisphere; and so have they gone to shine in a brighter world. It is self-love that makes you mourn for them; for they are happy. You would not mourn if they were with a distant friend on earth - why do you mourn that they are with the sinner's Friend? 'They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light upon them, nor any heat; for the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto fountains of living waters; and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.' 'The time is short;' and you will follow after. A few days, and you may be leaning together on the bosom of Jesus; you are nearer them to-day than you were yesterday.
