Song of Solomon 4 Preface - The rest of Christians to be attained by faith. The power of God's word. Having Jesus the Son of God for our high priest, we must hold fast our profession, and come boldly unto the throne of grace. Hebrews 4 Daily Light - Morning Consider how great things he hath done for you. Thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no... Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word... It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes... I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. - The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. - He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him... He knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. 1 Sa. 12.24; Deu. 8.2,5 Ps. 119.67,71,75; Ps. 118.18; Ps. 103.10-11,14 Daily Light - Evening That blessed hope...the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus. - Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things. - When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe. The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also...groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. - Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. - When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Surely I come quickly. Aman. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Titus 2.13; He. 6.19-20; Ac. 3.21; 2 Th. 1.10 Ro. 8.22-23; 1 Jn. 3.2; Col. 3.4 Rev. 22.20 A Puritans Catechism Q 52 - Which is the fifth commandment? A - The fifth commandment is, Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of God' Decree Chapter 3 PARAGRAPH 4 These angels and men thus predestinated and foreordained, are particularly and unchangeably designed, and their number so certain and definite, that it cannot be either increased or diminished. 10 10 2 Tim. 2:19; John 13:18 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Go to Jesus As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him. - John 2 v 29 It is evident that Mary was the more deeply affected of the two sisters. Martha was able to go about, but Mary sat still in the house. She felt the absence of Christ mroe than Martha. She believed his word more, and when that word seemed to fail, Mary's heart was nearly broken. Ah! it is a deep sorrow when natural and spiritual grief come together. Affliction is easily borne if we have the smile of Jehovah's countenance. Why does the mourner rise, and hastily drying her tears, with eager step leave the cottage door? Her friends who sat around her she seems quite to forget. 'The Master is come. 'Such is the presence of the Lord Jesus to mourners still. The world's comforters are all physicians of no value. Miserable comforters are they all. They have no balm for a wounded spirit. 'The heart knoweth its own bitterness.' But when the Master comes and calls us, the soul revives. There is life in His call, His voice speaks peace. 'In me ye shall have peace.' Mourners should rise up quickly, and go to Jesus. The bereaved should spread their sorrows at the feet of Christ.
