Cyrus restoreth the vessels of the temple to Sheshbazzar. Ezra 1 Preface - Christ after his resurrection, having given instructions to his apostles, and commanded them to wait in Jerusalem the coming of the Holy Ghost, accendeth into heaven in their sight. Two angels warn them to depart, and to look for his second coming: they return, and give themselves unto prayer.

Acts 1 Daily Light - Morning This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind...I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Father, I will that they....whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me. - 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. - He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. - Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus. Phil. 3.13,14; Jn. 17.24; 2 Tim. 1.12; Phil. 1.6 1 Co. 9.24-25; He. 12.1-2 Daily Light - Evening The LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee. If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. - I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is Christ Jesus our Lord. Deu. 31.8; Ex. 33.15; Jer. 10.23 Ps. 37.23-24 Ps. 73.23-24; Ro. 8.38-39 A Puritans Catechism Q 52 - Which is the fifth commandment? A - The fifth commandment is, Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Repentance unto Life and Salvation Chapter 15 PARAGRAPH 2 Whereas there is none that does good and does not sin, 2 and the best of men may, through the power and deceitfulness of their corruption dwelling in them, with the prevalency of temptation, fall in to great sins and provocations; God has, in the covenant of grace, mercifully provided that believers so sinning and falling be renewed through repentance unto salvation. 3 2 Eccles. 7:20 3 Luke 22:31–32 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Do not forget .... the fashion of this world passeth away. 1 Corinthians 7 v 31 A believer stands on a watch tower - things present are below his feet - things eternal are before his eyes. A little while, brethren, and the day of grace will be over, preaching, praying will be done. Soon we shall give over wrestling with an unbelieving world - soon the number of believers shall be complete, and the sky open over our heads, and Christ shall come. His parting cry was: "Surely I come quickly." Then we shall see him "whom, having not see, we loved." A little while, and we shall stand before the great white throne; a little while, and the wicked shall not be - we shall see them going away into everlasting punishment; a little while, and the work of eternity shall be begun. We shall be like him - we shall see him day and night in his temple - we shall sing the new song, without sin and without weariness, for ever and ever. In a little moment, brethren, all this shall be: "For a small moment have I hid my face from thee; but with everlasting mercies will I gather thee."
