Hilkiah having found the book of the law, it is read before the king, who is alarmed, and sendeth to the prophetess Huldah to enquire of the Lord. Huldah prophesieth the destruction of Jerusalem, but not to take place till after the death of Josiah. Josiah causeth the book to be read in a solemn assembly, and reneweth the covenant between God and the people. 2 Chronicles 34 Preface -Satan bound for a thousand years: the first resurrection. Satan again let loose gathereth Gog and Magog to battle, who are devoured with fire. The devil cast into the lake of fire and brimstone. The general resurrection, and last judgment. Revelation 20 Daily Light - Morning Understanding what the will of the Lord is. This is the will of God, even your sanctification. - Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. - This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only ture God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. - We know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 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. - The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory...give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches o fthe glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe. Eph. 5.17; 1 Th. 4.3; Job 22.21; Jn. 17.3; 1 Jn. 5.20 Col. 1.9; Eph. 1.17-19 Daily Light - Evening Draw night to God, and he will draw night to you. Enoch walked with God. - Can two walk together, except they be agreed? - It is good for me to draw near to God. The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you... When they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them. - Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and Find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way....and having an high priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith. Jas 4.8; Ge. 5.24; Am. 3.3; Ps. 73.28 2 Chr. 15.2,4; Lu. 24.29 Jer. 29.11-13 He. 10.19-20,21-22 A Puritans Catechism Q 49 - Which is the fourth commandment? A - The fourth commandment is, Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.. 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 A mirror of Christ But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3 v 18 In a mirror you will observe that every feature of the face is reflected - both large and small features. Now our soul should be a mirror of Christ; we should reflect His features; for every grace in Christ, there should be a counterpart grace in us.
