Job 30:1-15 Preface - From the truth of Christ's resurrection Paul inferreth the necessity of our own. Christ, the firstfruits, being raised, shall be followed in due order by those that are his; till having subdued all enemies he shall give up the kingdom to God he Father. If there be no resurrection of the dead, in vain is it for nay one to risk his life, as the apostle did, continually. The manner of the resurrection. The change which shall be wrought at the last day in the bodies both of the dead and the living. An exhortation to stedfast faith and perseverance in our duty. 1 Corinthians 15:30-58 Daily Light - Morning Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. - Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not withoser he goeth. While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry... Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. What is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. - The world passeth away nad the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Pro. 27.1; 2 Co. 6.2; Jn. 12.35-36 Ec. 9.10 Lu. 12.19,20-21 Jas. 4.14; 1 Jn. 2.17 Daily Light - Evening Thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. I am the LORD, I change not; thereore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. - The same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. - The gifts and calling of God are without repentance. God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent. - It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. This man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 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. Fear not; I am the first and the last. Ps. 102.27; Ps. 90.2 Mal. 3.6; He. 13.8 Jas. 1.17; Ro. 11.29 Nu. 23.19; Lam. 3.22 He. 7.24-24; Rev. 1.17 A Puritans Catechism Q79 - What is the duty of such as are rightly baptised? A - It is the duty of such as are rightly baptised, to give themselves up to some particular and orderly church of Jesus Christ, that thy may walk in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. Of The Civil Magistrate Chapter 24 PARAGRAPH 1 God, the supreme Lord and King of all the world, has ordained civil magistrates to be under him, over the people, for his own glory and the public good; and to this end has armed them with the power of the sword, for defence and encouragement of them that do good, and for the punishment of evil doers.1 1 Rom. 13:1–4 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Not 'till then ... thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. - John 13 v 7 When this passing world is done, When has sunk you radiant sun, When I stand with Christ on high, Looking o'er life's history, Then, Lord, shall I fully know, Not till then, how much I owe. When I stand before the throne, Dressed in beauty not my own, When I see Thee as Thou art, Love Thee with unsinning heart, Then, Lord, shall I fully know, Not till then, how much I owe. Chosen, not for good in me, Wakened up from wrath to flee, Hidden in the Saviour's side, By the Spirit sanctified, Teach me, Lord, on earth to show By my love how much I owe. Oft I walk beneath a cloud, Dark as midnight's gloomy shroud; But, when fear is at it's height, Jesus comes, and all is light; Blessed Jesus, bid me show Doubting saints how much I owe. When the praise of heaven I hear, Loud as thunders to the ear, Loud as many waters' noise, Sweet as harp's melodious voice, Then, Lord, shall I fully know, Not till then, how much I owe. - Robert Murray McCheyne 1813-43 (The original hymn has nine verses)
