Uzza being smitten, the ark is left at the house of Obed-edom. 14) Preface - Hiram sendeth timber and builders to David. The prosperity of David's kingdom. His additional wives and children after his accession to the kingdom. His two signal victories over the Philistines. 1 Chronicles 13-14 Preface - The apostle's address to the dispersed Jews. He recommendeth patience and joy in afflictions, and prayer with faith. He giveth advice to the poor and to the rich. The reward of those that are firmly resistant under trial. Our own lusts, and not God, tempt us to sin. God is the unchangeable author of all good to his creatures. We must receive the word with purity and meekness, and not only hear, but do it. The necessity of governing the tongue. The essential duties of true religion. Daily Light - Morning By their fruits ye shall know them. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. - Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. - Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit... A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Mt. 7.20; 1 Jn. 3.7; Jas. 3.11-13; 1 Pe. 2.12 Mt. 12.33,34 Isa. 5.4 Daily Light - Evening I will make the place of my feet glorious. Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built! Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; and I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.... The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts. I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.... And I heard a great voice out of heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea... And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. Isa. 60.13; Isa. 66.1 2 Chr. 6.18 Hag. 2.6-7,9 Rev. 21.1,3 A Puritans Catechism Q9 - What is the work of creation? A - The work of creation is God's making all things of nothing, by the word of his power, in the space of six days, and all very good. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Effectual Calling Chapter 10 PARAGRAPH 4 Others not elected, although they may be called by the ministry of the Word, and may have some common operations of the Spirit,12 yet not being effectually drawn by the Father, they neither will nor can truly come to Christ, and therefore cannot be saved:13 much less can men that do not receive the Christian religion be saved; be they never so diligent to frame their lives according to the light of nature and the law of that religion they do profess. 14 12 Matt. 22:14, 13:20–21; Heb. 6:4–5 13 John 6:44–45,65; 1 John 2:24–25 14 Acts 4:12; John 4:22, 17:3 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Infinitely better These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.
