He buildeth fenced cities, and putteth the strong holds in a good posture of defence. The priests and Levites, cast off by Jeroboam in favour of his own idolatrous worship, resort to Jerusalem, and are followed by others out f Israel that feared God. Rehoboam's wives and children. 12) Preface - Rehoboam forsaking the Lord is punished by Shishak's invasion: he and the princes repenting at the preaching of Shemiah are delivered from destruction, but not from spoil. The reign and death of Rehoboam: Abijah succeedeth him. 2 Chronicles 11-12 Preface - What John was commanded to write in commendation or reproof to the angels of the churches of 1 Ephesus, 8 Smyran, 12 Pergamos, 18 Thyatira. Revelation 2 Daily Light - Morning Let not....your good be evil spoken of. Abstain from all appearance of evil. - Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. - For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. Brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. - Take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumbling-block to them that are weak. - Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. - Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these by brethren, ye have done it unto me. Ro. 14.16; 1 Th. 5.22; 2 Co. 8.21; 1 Pe. 2.15 1 Pe. 4.15-16 Ga. 5.13; 1 Co. 8.9; Mt. 18.6; Mt. 25.40 Daily Light - Evening Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. It is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. - Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch a and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. - Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; and ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their Lord. Eph. 5.14; Ro. 13.11; 1 Th. 5.6-8 Isa. 60.1-2 1 Pe. 1.13; Lu. 12.35-36 A Puritans Catechism Q 31 - What benefits do they that are effectually called partake of in this life? A - They that are effectually called do in this life partake of justification, adoption, and sanctification, and the several benefits which in this life do either accompany or flow from them. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Repentance unto Life and Salvation Chapter 15 PARAGRAPH 2 Whereas there is none that does good and does not sin, 2 and the best of men may, through the power and deceitfulness of their corruption dwelling in them, with the prevalency of temptation, fall in to great sins and provocations; God has, in the covenant of grace, mercifully provided that believers so sinning and falling be renewed through repentance unto salvation. 3 2 Eccles. 7:20 3 Luke 22:31–32 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings A true Mark of grace That I may know him..... Philippians 3 v 10 It is a sure mark of grace to desire more. The High Priest had a beautiful breast plate over his breast, adomed with jewels - make me one of these. He had also a jewel on each shoulder - make me one of these. These were bound with chains of gold; but the believer with chains of love. This is a true mark of grace. If you be contented to remain where you are, without anymore nearness to God, or anymore holiness, this is a clear mark you have got none. Hide me deeper, bind me closer, and carry me more completely.
