Ezekiel 31 Preface - The Psalmist complaineth of the desolation of Jerusalem: he prayeth for deliverance, and promiseth thankfulness. Psalms 79 Daily Light - Morning They shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. - We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name. All people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. - The LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people. O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name. - Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God?-The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. Nu. 6.27; Isa. 26.13; Isa. 63.19 Deu. 28.10; 1 Sa. 12.22 Dan. 9.19; Ps. 79.9-10; Pro. 18.10 Daily Light - Evening The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. The invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead. - He left not himself without witness. - Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. - They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. Ps. 19.1; Ro. 1.20; Ac. 14.17; Ps. 19.2-3 Ps. 8.3-4 1 Co. 15.41-42; Dan. 12.3 A Puritans Catechism Q 39 - What shall be done to the wicked at the day of judgment? A - At the day of judgment the bodies of the wicked being raised out of their graves, shall be sentenced, together with their souls, to unspeakable torments with the devil and his angels for ever. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of the Holy Scriptures Chapter 1 PARAGRAPH 5 We may be moved and induced by the testimony of the church of God to a high and reverent esteem of the Holy Scriptures; and the heavenliness of the matter, the efficacy of the doctrine, and the majesty of the style, the consent of all the parts, the scope of the whole (which is to give all glory to God), the full discovery it makes of the only way of man's salvation, and many other incomparable excellencies, and entire perfections thereof, are arguments whereby it does abundantly evidence itself to be the Word of God; yet notwithstanding, our full persuasion and assurance of the infallible truth, and divine authority thereof, is from the inward work of the Holy Spirit bearing witness by and with the Word in our hearts.8 8 John 16:13-14; 1 Cor. 2:10-12; 1 John 2:20, 27 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Love for the Lord's day Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that thee be no gatherings when I come. 1 Corinthians 16 v 2 All days of the year are Christ's, but He hath marked out one in seven as peculiarly His own. 'He hath made it,' or marked it out. Just as He planted a garden in Eden, so He hath fenced about this day and made it His own. This is the reason why we love it, and would keep it entire. We love everything that is Christ's. We love His word. It is better to us than thousands of gold and silver. 'O how we love His law! it is our study all the day.' We love His house. It is our trysting-place with Christ, where He meets with us and communes with us from off the mercy-seat. We love His table. It is His banqueting house, where His banner over us is love - where He looses our bonds, and anoints our eyes, and makes our hearts burn with holy joy. We love His people, because they are His, members of His body, washed in His blood, filled with His Spirit, our brothers and sisters for eternity. And we love the Lord's day, because it is His. every hour of it is dear to us - sweeter than honey, more precious than gold. It is the day He rose for our justification. It reminds us of His love, and His finished work, and His rest. And we may boldly say that man does not love the Lord Jesus Christ who does not love the entire Lord's day.
