Sennacherib, being called away to oppose the king of Ethiopia, sendeth a blasphemous letter to Hezekiah. Hezekiah's prayer upon the receipt of it. Isaiah's prophecy concerning the pride and overthrow of Sennacherib, and the prosperity of Zion. An angel destroyeth the Assyrian army: Sennacherib is slain at Nineveh by his own sons. 2 kings 19 Preface - The essential dignity of the Son, by whom God hath revealed himself in these last days: his preeminence above the angels in office. Hebrews 1 Daily Light - Morning When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. - God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. - When he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. - It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Col. 3.4; Jn. 11.25; 1 Jn. 5.11,12 1 Th. 4.16-18; 1 Jn. 3.2; 1 Co. 15.43-44 Jn. 14.3 Daily Light - Evening Lead me in thy truth, and teach me. When he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth. - Ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. - The holy scriptures....are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. - The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. - If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God. - The wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. Ps. 25.5; Jn. 16.13; 1 Jn. 2.20 Isa. 8.20; 2 Tim. 3.15-17 Ps. 32.8; Mt. 6.22; Jn. 7.17; Isa. 35.8 A Puritans Catechism Q 77 - Are the infants of such as are professing to be baptised? A - The infants of such as are professing believers are not to be baptised because there is neither command nor example in the Holy Scriptures for their baptism. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Christ the Mediator Chapter 8 PARAGRAPH 6 Although the price of redemption was not actually paid by Christ until after His incarnation, yet the virtue, efficacy, and benefit thereof were communicated to the elect in all ages, successively from the beginning of the world, in and by those promises, types, and sacrifices wherein He was revealed, and signified to be the seed which should bruise the serpent's head; 34 and the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, 35 being the same yesterday, and today and for ever.36 34 1 Cor. 4:10; Heb. 4:2; 1 Pet. 1:10–11 35 Rev. 13:8 36 Heb. 13:8 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Retirement And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. Mark 6 v 31 I am persuaded that I have been brought into retirement to teach me the value and need of prayer. Alas! I have not estimated aright the value of near access unto God. It is not the mere daily routine of praying for certain things that will obtain the blessing. But there must be the need within - the real filial asking of God the things which we need, and which He delights to give. We must study prayer more.
