Isaiah hearing thereof foretelleth the Babylonish captivity. Isaiah 39 Preface - At the sounding of the fifth angel a star falleth from heaven, to whom is given the key of the bottomless pit: he opens the pit, and there come forth locusts like scorpions, who have power to hurt men for a time. The first woe past. At the sounding of the sixth angel four angels which were bound are loosed, and bring great plagues on the earth for a limited time. Revelation 9 Daily Light - Morning Men ought always to pray, and not to faint. Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. - Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. I will not let thee go, except thou bless me... As a prince hast thou power with God and with men. - Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving. (Jesus) went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. Lu. 18.1; Lu. 11.5-8; Eph. 6.18 Ge. 32.26,28; Col. 4.2 Lu. 6.12 Daily Light - Evening Forgive all my sins Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. - I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. The Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins. - In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace. - Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour. - Having forgiven you all trespasses; blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. Bless the LORD, O my soul...who forgiveth all thine iniquities. Ps. 25.18; Isa. 1.18 Mt. 9.2; Isa. 43.25 Mt. 9.6; Eph. 1.7; Titus 3.5-6; Col. 2.13-14 Ps. 103.2,3 A Puritans Catechism Q 9 - What is the work of creation? A - The work of creation is God's making all things of nothing, by the word of his power, in the space of six days, and all very good. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Effectual Calling Chapter 10 PARAGRAPH 1 Those whom God hath predestinated unto life, he is pleased in his appointed, and accepted time, effectually to call, by his Word and Spirit, out of that state of sin and death in which they are by nature, to grace and salvation by Jesus Christ; enlightening their minds spiritually and savingly to understand the things of God; taking away their heart of stone, and giving unto them a heart of flesh; renewing their wills, and by his almighty power determining them to that which is good, and effectually drawing them to Jesus Christ; yet so as they come most freely, being made willing by his grace.
Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings A family quarrel And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land. And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. - Genesis 13 vs 7 - 8 Domestic trials are not easy to bear. Most believers would like to go to heaven without a crook in their lot. I have no doubt that Jacob would have liked to have gone to heaven without the trial he had in the loss of Joseph; I have no doubt that David would have liked to have gone to heaven without the trial he had in the death of Absalom; and I have no doubt that Abraham would have liked to have gone to the better land without this strife breaking out between Lot and him. But it must not be. The reason why domestic trials happen are - first, for the trial of our faith. Just as the jeweller puts the gold into the crucible, not to destroy the gold, but to separate it from the dross, so trials are intended by God to separate us from all dross. Another reason is to make us long for the better country. When God permits strife to rise in a believing family, it is to show you that this is not our home.
