Daily Readings
Preface - David's ambassadors, sent to comfort Hanun for his father's death, are disgracefully treated. The ammonites strengthened by the Syrians are overcome by Joab and Abishai. Hadarezer sendeth a new army of Syrians under Shobach, which is defeated by David, and their general slain; whereupon the kings who were subject to Syria become servants to Israel.
2 Samuel 10
Preface - To do away with the imputation of vain glory, Paul sheweth that the gifts and graces of the Corinthians were a sufficient commendation of his ministry; the efficacy of which he ascribeth entirely to God. He proveth the superior excellency of the gospel ministry to that of the law; and thereupon justifieth his plain speaking, as under a dispensation of greater light and liberty than that of Moses.
2 Corinthians 3

A Puritans Catechism

A Covenant God
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. - 1 Corinthians 1 v 9
Look around you. The world lying in wickedness, is against  you. 'I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves.' O, look down to hell; there are crafty devils - mighty spirits of evil all , all against you. How then, should we hope such things from you? Ah! God is faithful, who also will do it. I lean my back upon the Rock of Ages, and I feel there is enough in Him to enable me to stand against all the world. If you are joined to Christ, God is for you; God the Father is a shield all around you; God the Holy Ghost is within you. If you are joined to Christ, then God is a Covenant God to you.
