Daily Reading
Preface - Jeremiah prophesieth judgment upon the evil pastors, and restoration of the scattered flock. Christ, the righteous Branch, is promised. God's fearful judgments against false prophets, and against those that mocked at the threatenings of the true ones.
Jeremiah 23
Preface - The transfiguration of Christ: he instructeth his disciples concerning the coming of Elias: he casteth out a dumb and deaf spirit: he foretelleth his own death and resurrection: checketh the ambition of his disciples; bidding them to hinder no one from working miracles in his name, and warning them to avoid offences.
Mark 9


Daily Light - Morning
Christ, who is the image of God.

The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. - And the Word was made flesh shall see it together. - And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth... No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. _ he that hath seen me hath seen the Father. - The brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person. - God was manifest in the flesh.

In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature.  - Whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

As we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

Daily Light - Evening
Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle.

When I am weak, then am I strong.

Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee. - Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him.

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. - There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God.

The 1689
Baptist Confession of Faith
Of Religious Worship and the Sabbath Day
Chapter 22
PARAGRAPH 1

The light of nature shows that there is a God, who has lordship and sovereignty over all; is just, good and does good to all; and is therefore to be feared, loved, praised, called upon, trusted in, and served, with all the heart and all the soul, and with all the might.1 But the acceptable way of worshipping the true God, is instituted by himself,2 and so limited by his own revealed will, that he may not be worshipped according to the imagination and devices of men, nor the suggestions of Satan, under any visible representations, or any other way not prescribed in the Holy Scriptures.3

1 Jer. 10:7; Mark 12:33
2 Deut. 12:32
3 Exod. 20:4–6


Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, desposing the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12 v 2

Keep looking then to Jesus dear soul, and you will have the peace that passeth all understanding. Whenever Satan accuses you, send him to the stripes of Jesus.
