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.).

Daily Reading Plan - First Year Preface - Solomon blesseth the people, and praiseth God for the performance of his promise to David concerning the building of the house. His prayer upon the brasen scaffold at the consecration of the temple: 22, 24, 26, 28, 32, 34, 36 the special petitions contained in it. The concluding general invocation of God's presence and favour. 2 Chronicles 6.12-42 Preface - He that loveth God loveth God's children, and keepeth his commandments. A true faith will enable us to overcome the world. The witnesses of our faith. God hath given to believers eternal life through his Son: and will hear and grant their petitions made according to his will. God's children are distinguished from the world by abstaining from sin, and by a right knowledge. A caution against idolatry. 1 John 5 Daily Light - Morning It is God which worketh in you. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God. - A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. - No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. - And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever. Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, iwth whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works. which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. Phil. 2.13; 2 Co. 3.5; Jn. 3.27; Jn. 6.44; Jer. 32.39 Jas. 1.16-18 Eph. 2.10 Isa. 26.12 Daily Light - Evening The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. In the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early. I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not... For I delight in the low of God after the inward man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. - The flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. - Our sufficiency is of God. - My grace is sufficient for thee. Mt. 26.41; Isa. 26.8-9 Ro. 7.18,22-23; Ga. 5.17 Phil. 4.13; 2 Co. 3.5; 2 Co. 12.9 A Puritans Catechism Q 27 - Wherein consists Christ's exaltation? A - Christ's exaltation consists in his rising again from the dead on the third day, in ascending up into heaven, in sitting at the right hand of God the Father, and in coming to judge the world at the last day. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Repentance Unto Life and Salvation Chapter 15 PARAGRAPH 5 Such is the provision which God has made through Christ in the covenant of grace for the preservation of believers unto salvation, that although there is no sin so small but it deserves damnation, 8 yet there is no sin so great that it shall bring damnation to them that repent, 9 which makes the constant preaching of repentance necessary. 8 Rom. 6:23 9 Isa. 1:16–18, 55:7 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Not yet in heaven Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: Matthew 17 v 4 My friend, you are no believer, if Jesus hath never manifested Himself to your soul in your secret devotions - in the house of prayer, or in the breaking of bread - in so sweet and overpowering a manner, that you have cried out, 'Lord, it is good for me to be here!' Peter must come down again from the mount of glory, and fight the good fight of faith, amid the shame and contumely of a cold and scornful world. And so must every child of God. We are not yet in heaven, the place of open vision and unbroken enjoyment. This is earth, the place of faith, and patience, and heavenward-pointing hope.
