Jeremiah 39 13) Preface - David complaineth of God's delay to help him: he prayeth God to support him, that his enemies may not insult over him: he trusteth in the divine mercy. 14) Preface - David describeth the general corruption of mankind. He wisheth to see the salvation of God. Psalm 13-14 Daily Light - Morning That through death he might destroy him that had the power of death. Our Saviour Jesus Christ...hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. - He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. - When this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. - Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. He. 2.14; 2 Tim. 1.10; Isa. 25.8; 1 Co. 15.54-57 2 Tim. 1.7; Ps. 23.4 Daily Light - Evening Where is the way where light dwelleth? God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. - As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. - The Father...hat made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. - Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.... Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Job 38.19; 1 Jn. 1.5; Jn. 9.5 1 Jn. 1.6-7; ol. 1.12-14 1 Th. 5.5; Mt. 5.14,16 A Puritans Catechism Q 25 - How does Christ execute the office of a king? A - Christ executes the office of a king in subduing us to himself, in ruling and defending us, and in restraining and conquering all his and our enemies. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Justification Chapter 11 PARAGRAPH 1 Those whom God effectually calls, he also freely justifies, (1) not by infusing righteousness into them, but by pardoning their sins, and by accounting and accepting their persons as righteous; (2) not for anything wrought in them, or done by them, but for Christ's sake alone; (3) not by imputing faith itself, the act of believing, or any other evangelical obedience to them, as their righteousness; but by imputing Christ's active obedience unto the whole law, and passive obedience in his death for their whole and sole righteousness by faith, (4) which faith they have not of themselves; it is the gift of God. (5) 1 Rom. 3:24, 8:30 2 Rom. 4:5–8, Eph. 1:7 3 1 Cor. 1:30–31, Rom. 5:17–19 4 Phil. 3:8–9; Eph. 2:8–10 5 John 1:12, Rom. 5:17 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings The sanctification of the saint But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 1 Corinthians 1 v 30 Everyone whom Christ reconciles He makes holy, and confesses before His Father: 'Whom he justified, them he glorified'. If Christ has truly begun a good work in you, He will perform it to the day of Christ Jesus. Christ says: 'I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending.' Whenever He begins, He will make an end. Whenever He builds a stone on the foundation, He will preserve it unshaken to the end. Only make sure that you are upon the foundation - that you are reconciled - that you have true peace with God, and then you may look across the mountains and rivers that are between now and that day, and say: 'he is able to keep me from falling.' You have but two shallow brooks to pass through - sickness and death; and He has promised to meet you, and go with you, foot for foot. A few more tears - a few more temptations - a few more agonising prayers - a few more sacraments, and you will stand with the Lamb upon Mount Zion!
