David and his men mourn thereat. The Amalekite is slain by David's command. David's lamentation over Saul and Jonathan. 2 Samuel 1 Preface - Paul teacheth that none can own Christ but by the Holy Ghost; whose gifts are diverse, and dealt out to different persons to profit withal. As many members make up one natural body, so Christians in general form one mystical body: and as every member is equally a part of the natural body, and hath a necessary function allotted it; so is it with Christ's body, the church; to the individual members of which God hath assigned different gifts and offices for the general good. 1 Corinthians 12 Daily Light - Morning Rejoicing in hope. The hope is laid up for you in heaven. - If in this life only we have hope to Christ, we are of all men most miserable. - We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. - Whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. - No man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. - The God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. - Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. - By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil. - My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. How precious....are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. - LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. - Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward. Not many mighty, not many noble, are called. - Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom? - Having nothing, and yet possessing all things. = The unsearchable riches of Christ.

The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of the Holy Scriptures Chapter 1 PARAGRAPH 10 The supreme judge, by which all controversies of religion are to be determined, and all decrees of councils, opinions of ancient writers, doctrines of men, and private spirits, are to be examined, and in whose sentence we are to rest, can be no other but the Holy Scripture delivered by the Spirit, into which Scripture so delivered, our faith is finally resolved. 21 21 Matt. 22:29, 31, 32; Eph. 2:20; Acts 28:23 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Enough in Christ Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 TImothy 2 v 1 There is enough in Christ to supply the need of all His people. An old minister says, A child can carry little water from the sea in its two hands, and so it is little we get out of Christ. There are unsearchable riches in Him. Be strong in the grace that is in Him. Live out of yourself, and live upon Him; go and tell Him, that, since He requires all this of thee, He must give thee grace according to your need. My God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory by Immanuel: now lean upon Him; get life from Him that shall never die; get living water from Him that shall never dry up. Let His hand hold you up amid the billows of this tempestuous sea. Let His shoulder carry you over the thorns of this wilderness. Look as much to Him for sanctification as for justification. So will your walk be close with God, Calm and serene your frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads you to the Lamb.
