Wednesday - Give thank 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 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.

Jehoiakim reigning wickedly is bound in fetters by Nebuchadnezzar, who carrieth part of the vessels of the temple to Babylon. Jehoiachin is made king, and after a year's reign carried to Babylon with other vessels of the temple: Zedekiah is made king in his stead. Zedekiah reigneth wickedly, despiseth the admonitions of Jeremiah, and rebelleth against Nebuchadnezzar. The sins of the priests and of the people cause the utter destruction of Jerusalem by the Chaldees, and the desolation of the land for seventy years. The proclamation of Cyrus for building the temple. 2 Chronicles 36 Preface - The river and tree of life: the glorious state of the servants of God. John is forbidden by the angel to worship him; and commanded not to seal up the prophecy. Christ's coming and eternity. The blessedness of them that do God's commandments. Nothing must be added to or taken from this prophecy. The concluding benediction. Revelation 22 Daily Light - Morning The LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place. I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. - In his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. - As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: so the LORD alone did lead him. Even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you. - This God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death. Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee. - Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on... For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. Hitherto hath the LORD helped us. Deu. 1.31; Ex. 19.4; Isa. 63.9; Deu. 32.11-12 Isa. 46.4; Ps. 48.14 Ps. 55.22; Mt. 6.25,32 1 Sa. 7.12 Daily Light - Evening There remaineth yet very much land to be possessed. Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Be ye therefore perfect. - Giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment. 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. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit. There remaineth...a rest to the people of God. - Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off. Jos. 13.1; Phil. 3.12 Mt. 5.48; 2 Pe. 1.5-7 Phil. 1.9 1 Co. 2.9-10 He. 4.9; Isa. 33.18 A Puritans Catechism Q 51 - How is the sabbath to be sanctified? A - The sabbath is to be sanctified by a holy resting all that day, even from such worldly employments and recreations as are lawful on other days; and spending the whole time in the public and private exercises of God's worship, except so much as is to be taken up in the works of necessity and mercy. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Repentance Unto Life and Salvation Chapter 15 PARAGRAPH 1 Such of the elect that are converted at riper years, having sometime lived in the state of nature, and therein served divers pleasures, God in their effectual calling gives them repentance to life.1 1 Titus 3:2–5 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings My Master's time Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5 v 16 What right have I to steal and abuse my Master's time? Redeem it,' He is crying to me. The time is short! - the season near, When death will us remove, To leave our friends, however dear, And all we fondly love! The time is short! sinners, beware, Nor trifle time away; The word of 'great salvation' hear, 'While it is called to-day.' The time is short! ye rebels, now To Christ the Lord submit; To mercy's golden sceptre bow, And fall at Jesus' feet. The time is short! ye saints rejoice, The Lord will quickly come: Soon shall ye hear the Bridegroom's voice, To call your spirits home. The time is short! it swiftly flies, The hour is just at hand, When we shall mount above the skies, And reach Emmanuel's land.
