God allureth them with promises of reconciliation. Hosea 3-4 Preface - The psalm containeth various prayers, praises, and professions of obedience. Psalm 119:121-144 Daily Light - Morning It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? - I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. Shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, thou he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. - Wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee. - Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD. Let us not be weary in well doing...in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. - Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Lam. 3.26; Ps. 77.9; Ps. 31.22 Lu. 18.7-8; Pro. 20.22; Ps. 37.7 2 Chr. 20.17 Ga. 6.9; Jas. 5.7 Daily Light - Evening Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. - Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled. - Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ... Only let you conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ. - The tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteh on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell... The tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. - Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt. Song 2.15; Ps. 19.12; He. 12.15; Ga. 5.7 Phil. 1.6,27; Jas. 3.5-6.8; Col. 4.6 A Puritans Catechism Q 71 - What are the outward means whereby the Holy Spirit communicates to us the benefits of redemption? The outward and ordinary means whereby the Holy Spirit communicates to us the benefits of Christ's redemption, are the Word, by which souls are begotten to spiritual life; Baptism, the Lord's Supper, Prayer, and Meditation, by all which believers are further edified in their most holy faith. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of God's Covenant Chapter 7 PARAGRAPH 2 Moreover, man having brought himself under the curse of the law by his fall, it pleased the Lord to make a covenant of grace,2 wherein He freely offers unto sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ, requiring of them faith in Him, that they may be saved;3 and promising to give unto all those that are ordained unto eternal life, His Holy Spirit, to make them willing and able to believe.4 2 Gen. 2:17; Gal. 3:10; Rom. 3:20–21 3 Rom. 8:3; Mark 16:15–16; John 3:16 4 Ezek. 36:26–27; John 6:44–45; Ps. 110:3 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings The chief beauty in Christ I am the good shephers: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. John 10 v 11 This is the chief beauty in Christ. The wounds that marred His fair body make Him altogether lovely in a needy sinner's eye. All that are now and ever shall be the sheep of Christ, were once condemned to die. The wrath of God abode upon them. They were ready to drop into the burning lake. Jesus had compassion upon them, left His Father's bosom, emptied Himself, became a worm and no man, and died under the sins of many. 'While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' This is the grace of the Lord Jesus. Every one in the flock can say, 'He loved me, and gave Himself for me.'
