The prophet is directed to lament their abominations and calamities. Ezekiel 6 Preface - The church calling to mind former favours, complaineth of present evils: professing her integrity, she fervently prayeth for succour. Psalm 44 Daily Light - Morning Neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil. - Abhor that which is evil. - Abstain from all appearance of evil. - Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavend. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the feast, not with hold leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavend bread of sincerity and truth. - Let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. - Such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners. - In him is no sin. Ex. 13.7; Pro. 8.13; Ro. 12.9; 1 Th. 5.22; He. 12.15 Ps. 66.18 1 Co. 5.6-8; 1 Co. 11.28 2 Tim. 2.19; He. 7.26; 1 Jn. 3.5 Daily Light - Evening The serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die....your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. My brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil....Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. - lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. Ge. 3.4,5; 2 Co. 11.3 Eph. 6.10-11,13-17; 2 Co. 2.11 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 Adoption Chapter 12 PARAGRAPH 1 All those that are justified, God conferred, in and for the sake of his only Son Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the grace of adoption, (1) by which they are taken into the number, and enjoy the liberties and privileges of the children of God, (2) have his name put on them, (3) receive the spirit of adoption, (4) have access to the throne of grace with boldness, are enabled to cry Abba, Father, (5) are pitied, (6) protected, (7) provided for, (8) and chastened by him as by a Father, (9) yet never cast off, (10) but sealed to the day of redemption, (11) and inherit the promises as heirs of everlasting salvation. (12) 1 Eph. 1:5; Gal. 4:4–5 2 John 1:12; Rom. 8:17 3 2 Cor. 6:18; Rev. 3:12 4 Rom. 8:15 5 Gal. 4:6; Eph. 2:18 6 Ps. 103:13 7 Prov. 14:26; 1 Pet. 5:7 8 Heb. 12:6 9 Isa. 54:8–9 10 Lam. 3:31 11 Eph. 4:30 12 Heb. 1:14, 6:12 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Prize for Lord's day This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118 v 24 Prize the Lord's Day. The more that others despise and trample on it, love you it all the more. The louder the storm of blasphemy howls around you, sit the closer at the feet of Jesus. 'He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.' Diligently improve all holy time. It should be the busiest day of the seven; but only in the business of eternity. Avoid sin on that holy day. God's Children should avoid sin every day, but most of all on the Lord's Day. It is a day of double cursing as well as of double blessing. The world will have to answer dreadfully for sins committed in holy time. Spend the Lord's Day in the Lord's presence. Spend it as a day in heaven. Spend much of it in praise and in works of mercy, as Jesus did.
