Hebrews 11 Daily Light - Morning Thy thoughts are very deep. We...do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. - That ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! - My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. - Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. Ps. 92.5; Col. 1.9; Eh. 3.17-19 Ro. 11.33; Isa. 55.8-9; Ps. 40.5 Daily Light - Evening Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. They that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. - They have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. - He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption. To him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward. - He that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. - He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Ga. 6.7; Job 4.8; Hos. 8.7; Ga. 6.8 Pro. 11.18; Ga. 6.8-10 Pro. 11.24-25; 2 Co. 9.6 A Puritans Catechism Q 7 - What are the decrees of God? A - The decrees of God are his eternal purpose according to the counsel of his own will, whereby for his own glory he has foreordained whatsoever comes to pass. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Effectual Calling Chapter 10 PARAGRAPH 2 This effectual call is of God's free and special grace alone, not from anything at all foreseen in man, nor from any power or agency in the creature, 7 being wholly passive therein, being dead in sins and trespasses, until being quickened and renewed by the Holy Spirit; 8 he is thereby enabled to answer this call, and to embrace the grace offered and conveyed in it, and that by no less power than that which raised up Christ from the dead. 9 7 2 Tim. 1:9; Eph. 2:8 8 1 Cor. 2:14; Eph. 2:5; John 5:25 9 Eph. 1:19–20 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings The believer's self watch Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. 1 Timothy 4 v 16 Your own soul is your first and greatest care. You know a sound body alone can work with power; much more a healthy soul. Keep a clear conscience, through the blood of the Lamb. Keep up close communion with God. Study likeness to Him in all things.
