Daily Prayer - Sunday
Sunday Give thanks to God for His character, perfect, unchangeable, the same yesterday today and forever. Give thanks to God that we can meet in the church and have fellowship with one another. Pray the Lord would grant the preaching of his word power and clarity, and there are ready ears to hear and believe it. (2 Thes. 3.1.).

He hireth a Levite to be his priest. Judges 17 Preface - Paul journeying to Jerusalem calleth at the house of Philip the evangelist, whose four daughters prophesied. Agabus foretelling what should befall him at Jerusalem, he will not be dissuaded to purify himself in the temple, where he is set upon by the Jews of Asia, and in danger of losing his life in an uproar, but is rescued by the chief captain, and carried to the c astle in chains: he requesteth, and is permitted, to speak to the people. Acts 21 Daily Light - Morning His mercy is on them that fear Him. Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. If ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear. - The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD....and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD. - To this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. - The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Lu. 1.50; Ps. 31.19-20 1 Pe. 1.17; Ps. 145.18-19 2 Ki. 22.19; Isa. 66.2; Ps. 34.18 Daily Light - Evening Them that honoure me I will honour. Whosoever....shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. - He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer....be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. - Praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. 1 Sa. 2.30; Mt. 10.32; Mt. 10.37; Mt. 10.37-39 Jas. 1.12 Rev. 2.10 2 Co. 4.17; 1 Pe. 1.7 A Puritans Catechism Q 12 - What special act of providence did God exercise towards man in the state wherein he was created? A - When God had created man, he entered into a covenant of life with him, upon condition of perfect obedience; forbidding him to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, upon pain of death. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of the Holy Scriptures Chapter 1 PARAGRAPH 3 The books commonly called Apocrypha, not being of divine inspiration, are no part of the canon or rule of the Scripture, and, therefore, are of no authority to the church of God, nor to be any otherwise approved or made use of than other human writings. (6) 6 Luke 24:27,44; Rom. 3:2 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Cry for the wind Awake, O north wind; and come thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Song of Solomon 4 v 16 These spices do not naturally grow in gardens. Even in the East there never was such a display as this. So the fragrant graces of the Spirit are not natural to the heart. They are brought from a far country. They must be carefully watched. They need the stream and the gentle zephyr. Oh, I fear most of you should hang your heads when Christ begins to speak of fragrant spices in your heart! Where are they? Are there not talkative, forward Christians? Are there not idle, bad working Christians? Lord, where are the spices. Verily, Christ is a bundle of myrrh. Oh to be like Him! Oh that every flower and fruit would grow! They must come from above. Many there are of whom one is forced to say, 'Well, they may be Christians; but I would not like to be next to them in heaven!' Cry for the wind!
