Leagues and onflicts between the kings of the south and of the north. The exploits of one of the latter princes, who, being checked in his progress by the ships of Chittim, shall turn his fury against the holy land. An impious tyranny set up. Events that shall take place in the latter times. Daniel 11 Preface - This psalm containeth various prayer, praised, and professions of obedience. Psalms 119:25-48 Daily Light - Morning The LORD reigneth. Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my p;resence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it? - Promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. He changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding. - Ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled. If God be for us, who can be against us? - Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. Ps. 99.1; Jer. 5.22; Ps. 75.6-7 Dan. 2.21; Mt. 24.6 Ro. 8.31; Mt. 10.29-31 Daily Light - Evening Take heed to your spirit. Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us... Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he...rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. And Joshua the son of Nun...answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them! The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. - And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Mal. 2.15; Lu. 9.49-50,54-44 Nu. 11.27-29 Ga. 5.22-23; Ga. 5.24-26 A Puritans Catechism Q 67 - What does every sin deserve? A - Every sin deserves God's wrath and curse, both in this life, and that which is to come. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of the Fall of Man, of Sin, And the Punishment Thereof Chapter 6 PARAGRAPH 3 They being the root, and by God's appointment, standing in the room and stead of all mankind, the guilt of the sin was imputed, and corrupted nature conveyed, to all their posterity descending from them by ordinary generation,6 being now conceived in sin,7 and by nature children of wrath,8 the servants of sin, the subjects of death,9 and all other miseries, spiritual, temporal, and eternal, unless the Lord Jesus set them free.10 6 Rom. 5:12–19; 1 Cor. 15:21–22,45,49 7 Ps. 51:5; Job 14:4 8 Eph. 2:3 9 Rom. 6:20, 5:12 10 Heb. 2:14–15; 1 Thess. 1:10 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Love divine But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5 v 8 He loved us! He came into the world 'to save sinners, of whom I am chief'. Had He loved one as glorious as Himself, we would not have wondered. Had He loved the holy angels, that reflect His pure, bright image, we would not have wondered. Had He loved the lovely among the sons of men - the amiable, the gentle, the kind, the rich, the great, the noble - it would not have been so great a wonder. But, ah! He loved sinners - the vilest sinners - the poorest, meanest, guiltiest wretches that crawl upon the ground. Manasseh, who murdered his own children, was one whom he loved; Zaccheus, the greyhaired swindler, was another; blaspheming Paul was a third; the wanton of Samaria was another; the dying thief was another; and the lascivious Coritnthians were more. 'And such were some of you. 'We were black as hell when he looked on us - we were hell-worthy, under His Father's wrath and urse - and yet He loved us, and said: I will die for them. 'Thou hast loved me out of the pit of corruption'; each saved one can say. Oh, brethren! this is strange love: He that was so great, and lovely, and pure, chose us, who were mean and filthy with sin, that He might wash and purify, and present us to Himself. This love passeth knowledge!
