Haman, coming to request that Mordecai might be hanged, becometh himself the instrument of doing him honour. Complaining of his misfortune his friends foretell him of his fall. Esther 6 Preface - Paul, commending to the Romans his calling, greeteth them, and professeth his concern for, and desire of coming to see, them. He sheweth that the gospel is for the justification of all mankind through faith; and having premised that sinners in general are obnoxious to God's wrath, he describeth at large the corruptions of the Gentile world. Romans 1 Daily Light - Morning Thou God seest me. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.... Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is hight, I cannot attain unto it. The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. - The ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. - God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. - The eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Jesus....knew all men, and needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man. - Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Ge. 16.13; Ps. 139.1-4,6 Pro. 15.3; Pro. 5.21; Lu. 16.15; 2 Chr. 16.9 Jn. 2.24-25; Jn. 21.17 Daily Light - Evening I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me. - It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most Hight: to shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night. Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. I beseech you....brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. - Jesus....that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate... By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. - Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. Ps. 86.12; Ps. 50.23; Ps. 92.1-2 Ps. 150.6 Ro. 12.1; He. 13.12,15 Eph. 5.20 Rev. 5.12 A Puritans Catechism Q 80 - What is the Lord's Supper? A - The Lord's Supper is an ordinance of the New Testament, instituted by Jesus Christ; wherein, by giving and receiving bread and wine, according to his appointment, his death is shown forth; and the worthy receivers are, not after a corporeal and carnal manner, but by faith, made partakers of his body and blood, with all his benefits, to their spiritual nourishment, and growth in grace. 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 To be like Jesus For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first born among many brethren. Romans 8 v 29 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. (2 Corinthians 3 v 18). Our foolish hearts think it better to retain some part of Satan's image, but, ah! this is our happiness, to reflect every feature of Jesus, and that for ever. To have no inconsistency, to be like Him in every part; to love like Him, to weep like Him, to pray like Him, to be changed into His likeness: 'I shall be satisfied when I awake with Thy likeness.'
