Ahaz having liberty to choose a sign, and refusing it, Christ is promised for a sign. God's judgments prophesied to come upon Judah by the hand of the Assyrians. Isaiah 7 Preface - The apostle's address to the dispersed Jews. He recommendeth patience and joy in afflictions, and prayer with faith. He giveth advice to the poor and to the rich. The reward of those that are firmly resistant under trial. Our own lusts, and not God, tempt us to sin. God is the unchangeable author of all good to his creatures. We must receive the word with purity and meekness, and not only hear, but do it. The necessity of governing the tongue. The essential duties of true religion. James 1 Daily Light - Morning Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit. - After that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. - Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. We walk by faith, not by sight. - Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. He. 11.1; 1 Co. 15.19 1 Co. 2.9-10; Eph. 1.13-14 Jn. 20.29; 1 Pe. 1.8-9 2 Co. 5.7; He. 10.35 Daily Light - Evening It is I; be not afraid. When I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. - I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. Woe is me! for I am undone...mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. - I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. Jn. 6.20; Rev. 1.17-18; Isa. 43.25 Isa. 6.5-7; Isa. 44.22 1 Jn. 2.1 A Puritans Catechism Q 62 - What is required in the ninth commandment? A - The ninth commandment requires the maintaining and promoting of truth between man and man, and of our own and our neighbour's good name, especially in witness-bearing. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Divine Providence Chapter 5 PARAGRAPH 4 The almighty power, unsearchable wisdom, and infinite goodness of God, so far manifest themselves in His providence, that His determinate counsel extends itself even to the first fall, and all other sinful actions both of angels and men;11 and that not by a bare permission, which also He most wisely and powerfully binds, and otherwise orders and governs,12 in a manifold dispensation to His most holy ends;13 yet so, as the sinfulness of their acts proceeds only from the creatures, and not from God, who, being most holy and righteous, neither is nor can be the author or approver of sin.14 11 Rom. 11:32–34; 2 Sam. 24:1; 1 Chron. 21:1 12 2 Kings 19:28; Ps. 76:10 13 Gen. 1:20; Isa. 10:6–7,12 14 Ps. 1, Ps. 21; 1 John 2:16 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Live near to Christ They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment. - Hebrews 1 v 11 Rutherford says: 'Build your nest upon no tree here; for you see God hath sold the forest to Death, and every tree whereon we would rest is ready to be cut down, to the end we may flee and mount up, and build upon the Rock, and dwell in the holes of the Rock.' Set not your heart on the flowers of this world; for they have all a canker in them. Prize the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley more than all; for He changeth not. Live nearer to Christ than to the saints, so that when they are taken from you, you may have Him to lean on still.
