Delilah corrupted by the Philistines urgeth him to tell her where his strength lay; he thrice deceiveth her; but is at length prevailed upon,, and his head shaven. The Philistines take him, and put out his eyes; but his strength is renewed as his hair groweth.

Judges 16 Preface - Paul goeth to Macedonia, and having passed over various countries cometh to Troas; where, as he preached long, Eutychus falleth out of a window, and is taken up dead: Paul restoreth him to life.

Acts 20 Daily Light - Morning The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Your lamb shall be without blemish....and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it....and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. - The blood of sprinkling. - Christ our passover is sacrificed for us. - Being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God. - According to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. We have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins.

O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. - Having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. - He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of the Holy Scriptures Chapter 1 PARAGRAPH 2 Under the name of Holy Scripture, or the Word of God written, are now contained all the books of the Old and New Testaments, which are these: -- OF THE OLD TESTAMENTGenesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy Joshua Judges Ruth 1 Samuel 2 Samuel 1 Kings 2 Kings 1 Chronicles 2 Chronicles Ezra Nehemiah Esther Job Psalms Proverbs Ecclesiastes The Song of Solomon Isaiah Jeremiah Lamentations Ezekiel Daniel Hosea Joel Amos Obadiah Jonah Micah Nahum Habakkuk Zephaniah Haggai Zechariah Malachi -- Of the New TestamentMatthew Mark Luke John Acts Romans 1 Corinthians 2 Corinthians Galatians Ephesians Philippians Colossians 1 Thessalonians 2 Thessalonians 1 Timothy 2 Timothy Titus Philemon Hebrews James 1 Peter 2 Peter 1 John 2 John 3 John Jude Revelation All of which are given by the inspiration of God, to be the rule of faith and life. 5) 2 Tim. 3:16 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings The wonderful grace of Christ. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us. Titus 3 v 5 When the Holy Spirit leads a man to the cross, his heart there breaks from seeking salvation by his own righteousness. All his burden of performance and contrivances drops. First, the work of Christ appears so perfect, - the wisdom of God and the power of God - divine righteousness. 'I wonder that I should ever think of any other way of salvation. If I could have been saved by my own duties, my whole soul would now have refused it. I wonder that all the world did not see and comply with this way of salvation by the righteousness of Christ.' (Brainerd) Second, the grace of Christ appears so wonderful. That all this righteousness should be free to such a sinner! That I so long neglected, despised, hated it, put mountains between, and yet that He has come over the mountains! 'That thou mayest remember and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done' (Ezekiel 16 v 63). Have you this broken heart - broken within sight of the cross? It is not a look into your own heart, or the heart of hell, but into the heart of Christ, that breaks the heart. Oh, pray for this broken heart! Boasting is excluded. To Him be glory. Worthy is the Lamb! All the struggles of a self-righteous soul are to put the crown on your own head instead of at the feet of Jesus.
