They are exhorted to repent for fear of his judgments. No intercession shall save the guilty land from God's judgment of famine, noisome beasts, the sword, the pestilence, or from the four judgments together. A remnant shall be left for the instruction and consolation of others. Ezekiel 4 40) Preface - David from his own experience sheweth the benefit of trust in God. Obedience the most acceptable sacrifice. David's grateful return of praise: he prayeth for salvation to himself, and confusion to his enemies. 41) Preface - The recompence fo the charitable man. David prayeth for mercy, complaining of the treachery of his enemies and apostate friends: he acknowledgeth God's favour, and blesseth him. Psalm 40-41 Daily Light - Morning The fruit of the spirit is....meekness. The meek....shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. - Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. - The ornament of a meek and quiet spirit....is in the sight of God of great price. - Charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. Follow after....meekness. - Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart. - He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. - Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again....but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously. Ga. 5.22,23; Isa. 29.19; Mt. 18.3,4; 1 Pe. 3.4; 1 Co. 13.4 1 Tim. 6.11; Mt. 11.29; Isa. 53.7; 1 Pe. 2.21-23 Daily Light - Evening If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report. - All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. - The offence of the cross. If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye....but let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. Unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake. - If one died for all, then were all dead: and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. - If we suffer, we shall also reign with him.

A - Effectual calling is the work of God's Spirit, whereby, convincing us of our sin and misery, enlightening our minds in the knowledge of Christ, and renewing our wills, he does persuade and enable us to embrace Jesus Christ freely offered to us in the gospel. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Justification Chapter 11 PARAGRAPH 6 The justification of believers under the Old Testament was, in all these respects, one and the same with the justification of believers under the New Testament. (18) 18 Gal. 3:9; Rom. 4:22–24 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Precious Bible He shall feed his flock like a shepherjd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. Isaiah 40 v 11 I shall never forget the story of a little girl in Belfast, in Ireland. She was at a Sabbath School, and gained a Bible as a prize for her good conduct. It became to her a treasure indeed. She was fed out of it. Her parents were wicked. She often read to them, but they became worse and worse. This broke Eliza's heart. She took to her bed and never rose again. She desired to see her teacher. When he came he said, 'You are not without a companion, my dear child,' Taking up her Bible. 'No,' she replied - 'Precious Bible! what a treasure Does the Word of God afford! All I want for life or pleasure, Food and med'cine, shield and sword. Let the world account me poor, Having this I ask no more.' She had scarcely repeated the lines when she hung back her head and died. Beloved children, this is the way Jesus feeds His flock. He is a tender, conststant, Almighty Shepherd. If you become His flock, He will feed you all the way to glory.
