He sendeth Levites with his princes to teach the law in Judah. The neighbouring kingdoms awed by God dare not disturb him; the Philistines and Arabians bring him presents and tribute. His greatness; the number of his forces under their respective captains. 2 Chronicles 17 Preface -The opening of six of the seals in order, and what followed thereupon. Revelation 6 Daily Light - Morning Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. - The reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who...took upon him the form of a servant. - Even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. - He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. When Jesus...saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled. - Jesus wept. - Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be ye all of once mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: into rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. Ga. 6.2; Ps. 69.9; Phil. 2.4-6,7; Mk. 10.45; 2 Co. 5.15 Jn. 11.33; Jn. 11.35; Ro. 12.15 1 Pe. 3.8-9 Daily Light - Evening Son, go work to day in my vineyard. Thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Reckon ye...yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. - As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. - Sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. Mt. 21.28; Ga. 4.7 Ro. 6.11-13; 1 Pe. 1.14-15; 2 Tim. 2.21 1 Co. 15.58 A Puritans Catechism Q 35 - What are the benefits which in this life do either accompany or flow from justification, adoption, and sanctification? A - The benefits which in this life do accompany or flow from justification, adoption, and sanctification are assurance of God's love, peace of conscience, joy in the Holy Ghost, increase of grace, and perseverance therein to the end. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Good Works Chapter 16 PARAGRAPH 1 Good works are only such as God has commanded in his Holy Word, 1 and not such as without the warrant thereof are devised by men out of blind zeal, or upon any pretence of good intentions. 2 1 Mic. 6:8; Heb. 13:21 2 Matt. 15:9; Isa. 29:13 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Sinking saints But, when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. Matthew 14 v 30 Once Peter 'walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?' Christ has an almighty arm for sinking disciples to cling to. Once two disciples were walking toward a village north of Jerusalem. They talked earnestly together to beguile the way, and they were sad. A stranger drew near, and went with them. And as he went he expounded to them, in all the Scriptures, the things concerning Jesus; in breaking of bread He was revealed to them, and left them exclaiming, 'Did not our hearts burn within us!' So Jesus reveals Himself to His own to this day, and makes the sad bosom burn with holy joy.
