Huram's friendly answer. 2 Chronicles 2 Preface - Christ is our advocate with the Father, and a propitiation for the sins of the whole world. Rightly to know God is to keep his commandments: the chief of which is to love one another. The apostle addresseth Christians of various ages separately, and warneth them against an inordinate love of this world: and against deceivers, who were many. He sheweth the means they had of knowing the truth, and of distinguishing false teachers; and pointeth out their obligation to abide in the truth which they had been taught. He that doeth righteousness is born of God. 1 John 2 Daily Light - Morning I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause. Is any thing too hard for the LORD?-Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. - Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.-Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: an Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD. And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD. It shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. - The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. Job 5.8; Ge. 18.14; Ps. 37.5; Phil. 4.6; 1 Pe. 5.7 Isa. 37.14-15 Isa. 65.24; Jas. 5.16 Ps. 116.1-2 Daily Light - Evening Our bodies washed with pure water.

In my flesh shall I see God: whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another.-There shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth. - Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity. - I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Philippians 3 v 1 Some people are afraid of anything like joy in religion. They have none themselves, and they do not love to see it in others. Their religion is something like the stars, very high, and very clear, but very cold. When they see tears of anxiety, or tears of joy, they cry out, 'Enthusiasm, enthusiasm!' Well, then, to the law, and to the testimony: 'I sat down under His shadow with great delight.' Is this enthusiasm? O Lord, evermore give us this enthusiasm! If it be really in sitting under the shadow of Christ, let there be no bounds to your joy. Oh, if God would but open your eyes, and give you simple, childlike faith, to look to Jesus, to sit under His shadow, then would songs of joy rise from all our dwellings! Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, Rejoice!
