Wednesday - Give thanks to God for the Bible, its inspiration and preservation for us to read it today. (2 Timothy 3.16, Proverbs 30.5.) - Give thanks to God that we have easy access to Scripture in English, in our mother tongue. Pray for those without access to the Bible because it is forbidden or not available. - Pray the Lord would bless us as we study the Bible through the ministry this coming year. That as we work through a book of the Bible, that the Lord would continue to help us to grasp God's truth. - Pray for the lunchtime outreach service and those who attend; pray that more from the offices nearby and Christians who commute are able to join us.

Psalm 25 Daily Light - Morning What God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might? Who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?... O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? - Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. - For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them. Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. ut God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit. - The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children. Deu. 3.24; Ps. 89.68; Ps. 86.8; 2 Sa. 7.21-22 1 Co. 2.9-10; Deu. 29.29 Daily Light - Evening He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD. I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ. - I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. - I have....whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. - My heart rejoiceth in the LORD...I rejoice in thy salvation. Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake. 1 Co. 1.31; Jer. 9.23-24 Phil. 3.8; Ro. 1.16; Ro. 15.17 Ps. 73.25; 1 Sa. 2.1 Ps. 115.1 A Puritans Catechism Q 27 - Wherein consists Christ's exaltation? A - Christ's exaltation consists in his rising again from the dead on the third day, in ascending up into heaven, in sitting at the right hand of God the Father, and in coming to judge the world at the last day. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Justification Chapter 11 PARAGRAPH 3 Christ, by his obedience and death, did fully discharge the debt of all those who are justified; and did, by the sacrifice of himself in the blood of his cross, undergoing in their stead the penalty due to them, make a proper, real, and full satisfaction to God’s justice in their behalf; (8) yet, in as much as he was given by the Father for them, and his obedience and satisfaction accepted in their stead, and both freely, not for anything in them, (9) their justification is only of free grace, that both the exact justice and rich grace of God might be glorified in the justification of sinners. (10) 8 Heb. 10:14; 1 Pet. 1:18–19; Isa. 53:5–6 9 Rom. 8:32; 2 Cor. 5:21 10 Rom. 3:26; Eph. 1:6–7, 2:7 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Love beyond compare Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine. Song of Solomon 1 v 2 There is no love in this world like a mother's love. It is free, unbought, unselfish love. However much pain she has suffered on her child's account, however many troubles she has to bear for it, by night and by day, while it hangs upon her breast, still it is more precious than gold. There is something in her heart that clings to her weak, sickly, nay, even to her retarded boy. God's love to a soul in Christ is stronger than this love. The Psalmist compares it to a father's: 'Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.' And Malachi 3 v 17: 'I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.' Again, Isaiah 66 v. 13: 'As one whom his other comforteth, so will I comfort you.'
