Daily Reading Plan - Second Year Preface - The Egyptians having caused the Chaldeans to raise the siege of Jerusalem, Zedekiah sendet to desire Jeremiah's prayers.

The providence and justice of God. 12) Preface - David complaining of the perfidiousness of mankind desireth the help of God: he comforteth himself in the assurance of God's judgments on the wicked, and in the faithfulness of his promises to protect the righteous. Psalm 11-12 Daily Light - Morning I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. Blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world. - Ye are the salt of the earth....the light of the world. - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. I also withheld thee from sinning against me. The Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. - So did not I, because of the fear of God. - Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father. - Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. Jn. 17.15; Phil. 2.15; Mt. 5.13,14; Mt. 5.16 Ge. 20.6 2 Th. 3.3; Ne. 5.15; Ga. 1.4; Jude 24.25 Daily Light - Evening Whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. [marg. set on high] The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high. - The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens... He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; that he may set him with princes. God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love where with he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?... For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Pro. 29.25; Isa. 33.5; Ps. 113.4,7-8 Eph. 2.4-6 Ro. 8.32,38-39 A Puritans Catechism Q 24 - How does Christ execute the office of a priest? A - Christ executes the office of a priest, in his once offering up of himself a sacrifice to satisfy divine justice, and reconcile us to God, and in making continual intercession for us. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Effectual Calling Chapter 10 PARAGRAPH 4 Others not elected, although they may be called by the ministry of the Word, and may have some common operations of the Spirit, (12) yet not being effectually drawn by the Father, they neither will nor can truly come to Christ, and therefore cannot be saved: (13) much less can men that do not receive the Christian religion be saved; be they never so diligent to frame their lives according to the light of nature and the law of that religion they do profess. (14) 12 Matt. 22:14, 13:20–21; Heb. 6:4–5 13 John 6:44–45,65; 1 John 2:24–25 14 Acts 4:12; John 4:22, 17:3 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings The divine Saviour He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. John 1 v 10 He was the Creator of all worlds: 'Without him was not anything made.' He was the Preserver of all worlds: 'By him all things consist', and hang together. All worlds, therefore, were His domain - He was Lord of all. He could say: 'Every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fullness thereof' (Psalm 50 vs. 10-12). All lands sang aloud to Him: the sea roared His praise, the cedars bowed before Him in lowly adoration. Nay, He could say: 'All things that the Father hath are mine' (John 16 v 15); and He could speak to His Father of the glory which He had with Him before the world was. Whatever of power, glory, riches, blessedness, the Father had, dwelt with equal fullness in the Son; for He was in the form of God, and thought it no robbery to be equal with God. This was the riches of the LORD Jesus. Oh, brethren! can you trust your salvation to such an one? You heard it was He that undertook to be the surety of sinners, and died for them. Can you trust your soul in the hands of such an one. Ah! surely if so rich and glorious a being undertake for us, He will not fail nor be discouraged. 'till he have set judgement in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law'.
