Daily Reading
Preface - God is terrible in his great works: his wisdom is unsearchable in them: the excellence of his perfections ought to impress men with lowly fear.
Job 37
Preface - Paul exhorteth the Corinthians to purity of life, and to receive him, who had done nothing to forfeit their esteem: he repeateth the assurance of his love for them, and sheweth what comfort he had received in all his troubles from the report which Titus had brought of their good ispositions toward him: so that upon the whole he did not repent of having grieved them a little by letter, considering the good effects which that godly sorrow had produced. Above all he rejoiced to observe the good impressions which their behaviour, so answerable to his former boastings of them, had left in the mind of Titus.
2 Corinthians 7


Daily Light - Morning
Thoou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. - I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covred. Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. - The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleaneth us from all sin.
Isa. 38.17; Mi. 7.18-19
Isa. 54.7-8, Jer. 31.34
Ps. 32.1-2; 1 Jn. 1.7


Daily Light - Evening
I know whom I have believed,
and am persuaded that he is able.

Able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.

Able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.

Able to succour them that are tempted.

Able...to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.

Able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working wereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Believe ye that I am able to do this?... Yea, Lord... According to your faith be it unto you.

The Church
Chapter 26
PARAGRAPH 1
The catholic or universal church, which (with respect to the internal work of the Spirit and truth of grace) may be called invisible, consists of the whole number of the elect, that have been, are, or shall be gathered into one, under Christ, the head thereof; and is the spouse, the body, the fulness of him that fills all in all.1

Fullness divine
... he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them. - Isaiah 49 v 10
Put your finger on the promise, and plead, 'When the poor and needy see water, and there is none, I the Lord will hear them' (Isaiah 41 v 17). Tell Him you are poor and needy. Spread put your wants before Him. Take your emptiness to His fullness. There in an infinite supply with Him for every thing you need, at the very moment you need it.
