Daily Readings Preface - Eliphaz proceedeth to shew that the end of the wicked is certain misery: that man is born to trouble: that God should be sought to in time of affliction. The happy end of God's correction. Job 5 Preface - Paul professeth an unfeigned sorrow for the Jewish nation: but proveth by instances from scripture that the promise of Abraham did not necessarily include all his descendants: asserting that there is no unrighteousness in God's bestowing his unmerited bounty on whom he pleaseth: and that he was unquestionably free to suspend his judgments, where deserved, either for the more signal display of his power in taking vengeance on some, or of his mercy in calling others to glory. The calling of the Gentiles, and rejection of the Jews, foretold. Accordingly the Gentiles have attained the righteousness of faith, which the Jews refused. The cause of such refusal. Romans 9 Daily Light - Morning The grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. - Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. - Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. - According to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour. 1 Tim. 1.14; 2 Co. 8.9; Ro. 5.20 Eph. 2.7-9; Ga. 2.16; Titus 3.5-6 Daily Light - Evening I am...the bright and morning star. There shall come a Star out of Jacob. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. - Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether. Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come. I am the light of the world. - I will give him the morning star. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore...lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. Rev. 22.16; Nu. 24.17 Ro. 13.12; Song. 2.17 Isa. 21.11-12 Jn. 8.12; Rev. 2.28 Mk. 13.33-35,36-37 A Puritans Catechism Q56 - What is forbidden in the sixth commandment? A - The sixth commandment forbids the taking away of our own life, or the life of our neighbour unjustly, or whatever tends to it. BAPTIST CONFESSION OF FAITH Of the Law of God Chapter 19 PARAGRAPH 7 Neither are the aforementioned uses of the law contrary to the grace of the Gospel, but do sweetly comply with it,16 the Spirit of Christ subduing and enabling the will of man to do that freely and cheerfully which the will of God, revealed in the law, requires to be done.17 16 Gal. 3:21 17 Ezek. 36:27 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Growing days If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord. - Isaiah 58 v 13-14 There was a time when Sabbath days were growing days. Hungry souls came to the Word, and went away filled with good things. They came like Martha, and went away like Mary. They came like Samson, when his locks were shorn, and went away like Samson when his locks were grown.
