Daily Reading Preface - The prophet lamenteth the invasion of Jewry; he reproveth their trust in human means, and not in God; and their desperate rioting, when the times called for humiliation. He prophesieth the downfall of Shebna, and Eliakim's advancement in his room. Isaiah 22 Preface - The apostle declareth it to be the design of both his epistles ro remind the brethren of Christ's coming to judgment, in opposition to scoffers. No argument can be drawn against it from the delay, which is designed to leave men room for repentance. He describeth the day of the Lord, and exhorteth to holiness of life in expectation of it. He sheweth that Paul had taught the same in his epistles: and concludeth with advice to beware of seduction, and to grow in Christian grace and knowledge. 2 Peter 3 Daily Light - Morning My brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. - I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. - The gospel of Christ...is the power of God unto salvation. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. - I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. - We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. The joy of the LORD is your strength. - Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness.

JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. - He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. Messias...which is called Christ. - The LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives. The last Adam was made a quickening spirit... The second man is the Lord from heaven. - My Lord and my God. - Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ourght to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 1 Co. 1.9; Mt. 1.21; Phil. 2.8-10 Jn. 4.25; Isa. 61.1 1 Co. 15.45,47; Jn. 20.28; Jn. 13.13-15 A Puritans Catechism Q 74 - How do Baptism and the Lord's Supper become spiritually helpful? A - Baptism and the Lord's Supper become spiritually helpful, not from any virtue in them, or in him who does administer them, but only by the blessing of Christ, and the working of the Spirit in those who by faith receive them. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Christ the Mediator Chapter 8 PARAGRAPH 1 It pleased God, in His eternal purpose, to choose and ordain the Lord Jesus, His only begotten Son, according to the covenant made between them both, to be the mediator between God and man;1 the prophet,2 priest,3 and king;4 head and savior of the church,5 the heir of all things,6 and judge of the world;7 unto whom He did from all eternity give a people to be His seed and to be by Him in time redeemed, called, justified, sanctified, and glorified.8 1 Isa. 42:1; 1 Pet. 1:19–20 2 Acts 3:22 3 Heb. 5:5–6 4 Ps. 2:6; Luke 1:33 5 Eph. 1:22–23 6 Heb. 1:2 7 Acts 17:31 8 Isa. 53:10; John 17:6; Rom. 8:30 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Divine Sympathy - Jesus wept - John 11 v 35 When He saw the cave, and the stone, and the weeping friends, 'Jesus wept'. He wept because His heart was deeply touched. It was not feigned weeping, it was real. He knew that He was to raise him from the dead, and yet He wept because others wept. He wept as our example, to teach us to weep with one another. He wept to show what was in Him: 'For we have not an high-priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet wihtout sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need' (Hebrews 4 vs 15&16.)
