Daily Reading Preface - (No preface) Proverbs 22 Preface - The salutation. Paul sheweth his thankful remembrance of the Thessalonians in his prayers on account of their faith, charity, and patience; applauding hem for their exemplary reception of the gospel, and improvement under it. 1 Thessalonians 1 Daily Light - Morning Fear not; I am the first and the last. Ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest...but ye are come unto mount Sion...to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant. - Jeus the author and finisher of our faith. - We have not an hight priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. - The mighty God. The everlasting Father. The Prince of Peace. Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? - Who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. - He knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. - LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. - Thou hast been a sttrength to the poor, a sttrength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat. Who is a rock save our God? - They shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. - Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. - Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil.

Of The Lord's Supper Chapter 30 PARAGRAPH 5 The outward elements in this ordinance, duly set apart to the use ordained by Christ, have such relation to him crucified, as that truly, although in terms used figuratively, they are sometimes called by the names of the things they represent, in other words, the body and blood of Christ,7 albeit, in substance and nature, they still remain truly and only bread and wine, as they were before.8 7 1 Cor. 11:27 8 1 Cor. 11:26–28 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings. Pride of grace And lest I should be exalted above measure through he abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure - 2 Corinthians 12 v 7 Lest he should be exalted above measure. his is twice stated. What a singular thing is pride! Who would have thought that taking Paul into paradise for a day would have made him proud? And yet God, who new his heart, knew it would be so, and therefore brought hi down to the dust. he pride of nature is wonderful. A natural man is proud of anything. Proud of his person - although he did not make it, yet he prides himself upon his looks. Proud of his dress - although a block of wood might have the same cause for pride, if you would put the clothes on it. Proud of riches - as if there were some merit in having more gold than others. Proud of rank - as if there were some merit in having noble blood. Alas, pride flows in the veins.. Yet, there is a pride more wonderful than that of nature - pride of grace. You would think a man never could be proud who had once seen himself lost. Yet, alas Scripture and experience show that a man may be proud of his measure of grace - proud of forgiveness, proud of humility, proud of knowing more of God than others. It was this that was springing up in Paul's heart when God sent him the thorn in the flesh.
