Psalm 52-54 Daily Light - Morning He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. Thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich... As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. - When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. - I am the LORD thy God...open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. - I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. Lu. 1.53; Rev. 3.17-18,19 Mt. 5.6; Isa. 41.17; Ps. 81.10 Isa. 55.2; Jn. 6.35 Daily Light - Evening My feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. The Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift yoiu as wheat: but I have prayed for thee, that thy fath fail not. A just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again. - Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me. - He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. - Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Ps. 73.2; Ps. 94.18 Lu. 22.31-32 Pro. 24.16; Ps. 37.24 Mi. 7.8; Job 5.19 1 Jn. 2.1; He. 7.25 A Puritan's Catechism Q 38 - What shall be done to the wicked at their death? A - The souls of the wicked shall at their death be cast into the torments of hell, and their bodies lie in their graves till the resurrection and the judgment of the great day. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Repentance Unto Life and Salvation Chapter 15 PARAGRAPH 1 Such of the elect that are converted at riper years, having sometime lived in the state of nature, and therein served divers pleasures, God in their effectual calling gives them repentance to life. (1) 1 Titus 3:2–5 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Moses and Hobab And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the Lord said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel. Numbers 10 v 29 So it was with Moses. Hobab had been his friend for forty years, in the land of Midian, where Moses married his sister, and lived in his father Raguel's house. In that time, I doubt not, Moses had told him much of Israel's God, and Israel's coming glory. Many a time, while they fed their flocks in this very wilderness, Moses had reasoned with him of righteousness, temperance and judgement to come, till Hobab trembled. Still it would seem Hobab was not quite convinced. He dubted, he lingered. He had been awed by the terrors of Sinai, but not won by the love of Calvary. He did not know whether to go or stay. But the hour of decision came. He must decide now. Now was the heart of Moses stirred in him: 'Come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for the Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel.' So it was with Paul, when he himself had tasted the joy and peace of believing; then says he: 'My heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.' So it was with Andrew: 'Andrew first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Christ.' So it was with the poor maniac whom Jesus healed: 'Go home, tell thy friends how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and how he hath had compassion on thee.' So it was with the poor slave in Antigua, who used to pray that there might be a full heaven and an empty hell. Question: Is it so with you? have you asked your friends to come with you? Have you a father whom you love? A mother that carried you at her breast? Have you a brother or sister? Are they lingering like Hobab? Oh! Will you not put in a word for Christ, and say: 'Come thou with us, and we will do thee good'? Have you a friend whom you love much, who knows nothing of Christ and of God, who is willing to die in the wilderness? Oh! will you not win him to go with you to Israel's God and Israel's glory?
