Daily Reading Preface - Nebuchadnezzar acknowledgeth God's eternal deminion: he relateth a dream which the magicians could not interpret: Daniel hearing the dream, interpreteth it. The dream fulfilled in Nabuchadnezzar's loss of dignity and reason for a time; which being restored to him, he glorifieth God. Daniel 4 Psalms 108) Preface - David encourageth himself to praise God: whose assistance he prayeth for, in confidence of success according to his promise. Psalms 109) Preface - David complaining of the slanders and ingratitude of his enemies devoteth them to destruction; complaining of his own misery he prayeth for help; he promiseth thankfulness. Psalms 108-109 Daily Light - Morning The LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. - The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. - When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. - I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them. - Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. - My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. The Father...shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever...the Comforter which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name. - Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him... And so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Divine Providence Chapter 5 PARAGRAPH 3 God, in his ordinary providence makes use of means,7 yet is free to work without,8 above,9 and against them10 at His pleasure. 7 Acts 27:31,44; Isa. 55:10–11 8 Hosea 1:7 9 Rom. 4:19–21 10 Dan. 3:27 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings The essence of Christianity To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Colossians 1 v 27 Christ in you, means embraced by faith as our righteousness and strength; and this is the sure ground upon which we hope for glory. In this sense it appears to be used, 'That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith.' (Ephesians 3 v 17). When a sinner's heart is opened by the Holy Spirit, when the beauty and excellence of the Saviour is shown to him, the heart inwardly embraces and cleaves to Christ. Every new discovery of Christ to the soul renews this act of inward cleaving to the Lord Jesus. Every reproach, every temptation, every fall into sin, every bereavement, makes the soul more really, firmly, and fully embrace the Lord Jesus; and so, by continual faith, Christ may be said to dwell in the heart; as in Ephesians 3 v 17, 'That Christ may dwell in your heart by faith.' Christ thus embraced is the hope of glory. It is this constant abiding faith - this close embracing of Christ as all our righteousness - it is this which gives a calm, sweet, full, peaceful hope of glory. The soul that can say Christ is mine, can also say, Glory is mine; for we need nothing but Christ to shelter us in the judgement day. Can you say that Christ is thus in you the hope of glory? If you have not got Christ, you have not good hope of glory.God, in his ordinary providence makes use of means,7 yet is free to work without,8 above,9 and against them10 at His pleasure. 7 Acts 27:31,44; Isa. 55:10–11 8 Hosea 1:7 9 Rom. 4:19–21 10 Dan. 3:27
