Daily Prayer - Wednesday

(2 Timothy 3.16, Proverbs 30.5.) - Give thanks to God that we have easy access to the Scripture in English, in our mother tongue. - Pray the Lord would bless us as we study the Bible through the ministry this coming year.

Hebrews 6 Daily Light - Morning The fruit of the Spirit is...peace... To be spiritually minded is life and peace. God hath called us to peace. - Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. - The God of hope fill you wiht all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. - Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. The work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places. - Whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. Great peace have they which love thy law. Ga. 5.22; Ro. 8.6 1 Co. 7.15; Jn. 14.27; Ro. 15.13 2 Tim. 1.12; Isa. 26.3 Isa. 32.17-18; Pro. 1.33 Ps. 119.165 Daily Light - Evening The LORD is there. (marg. Jehovah-shammah) 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. I saw no temple...for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. - Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion. - Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. - There shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him. Ezek. 48.35; Rev. 21.3 Rev. 21.22-23 Ps. 17.15; Ps. 73.25 Joel 3.20-21; Zech. 2.10; Rev. 22.3 A Puritans Catechism Q 54 - What is the reason annexed to the fifth commandment? A - The reason annexed to the fifth commandment is, a promise of long life and prosperity - as far as it shall serve for God's glory and their own good - to all such as keep this commandment. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of God' Decree Chapter 3 PARAGRAPH 6 As God hath appointed the elect unto glory, so He hath, by the eternal and most free purpose of His will, foreordained all the means thereunto;13 wherefore they who are elected, being fallen in Adam, are redeemed by Christ,14 are effectually called unto faith in Christ, by His Spirit working in due season, are justified, adopted, sanctified,15 and kept by His power through faith unto salvation;16 neither are any other redeemed by Christ, or effectually called, justified, adopted, sanctified, and saved, but the elect only.17 13 1 Pet. 1:2; 2 Thess. 2:13 14 1 Thess. 5:9–10 15 Rom. 8:30; 2 Thess. 2:13 16 1 Pet. 1:5 17 John 10:26, 17:9, 6:64 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Partakers of one grace He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. - John 4 v 36 He that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. Christian friends are sweet to the Christian. Those who are sharers of our spiritual secrets, those who mingle prayer with us before the throne, those who never forget us when within the veil - oh, there is something cheering in the very light of their kindly eye! It is an intercourse of which the world knows nothing. We have them in our heart, inasmuch as they are partakers of one grace, washed in one fountain, filled with the same Spirit, members one of another.
