The Canaanites left in the land are made subject to a tribute; but the Israelites are employed in honourable services. Pharaoh's daughter removeth to her house. Solomon's daily and festival sacrifices. He appointeth the priests and Levites to their orderly charges. The work finished. Solomon's navy fetcheth gold from Ophir. 2 Chronicles 8 Preface -It is a mark of God's singular love toward us, that we are now called his sons, and designed for further happiness hereafter: and therefore we must obediently keep his commandments, and love one another with true brotherly kindness and actual beneficence. 3 John Daily Light - Morning By love serve one another. Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. - Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently - Owe no man any thing, but to love on another; for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. - Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another. - Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. We....that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Ga. 5.13; Ga. 6.1-2 Jas. 5.19-20; 1 Pe. 1.22; Ro. 13.8; Ro. 12.10; 1 Pe. 5.5 Ro. 15.1 Daily Light - Evening Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was. It is sown in corruption....it is sown in doshonour...it is sown in weakness...it is sown a natural body. - The first man is of the earth, earthy. Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. - One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet... And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure. They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them. My flesh...shall rest in hope. - Though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God. - The Lord Jesus Christ...shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. - So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Ec. 12.7; 1 Co. 15.42,43,44; 1 Co. 15.47 Ge. 3.19; Job 21.23,25-26 Ps. 16.9; Job 19.26; Phil. 3.20,21 Ps. 39.4; Ps. 90.12 A Puritans Catechism Q 28 - How are we made partakers of the redemption purchased by Christ? A - We are made partakers of the redemption purchased by Christ, by the effectual application of it to us by his Holy Spirit. 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 Not yet in heaven Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: Matthew 17 v 4 My friend, you are no believer, if Jesus hath never manifested Himself to your soul in your secret devotions - in the house of prayer, or in the breaking of bread - in so sweet and overpowering a manner, that you have cried out, 'Lord, it is good for me to be here!' Peter must come down again from the mount of glory, and fight the good fight of faith, amid the shame and contumely of a cold and scornful world. And so must every child of God. We are not yet in heaven, the place of open vision and unbroken enjoyment. This is earth, the place of faith, and patience, and heavenward-pointing hope.
