Daily Reading
Preface - Elihu proceedeth to shew that God is just in all his ways. The end of God's chastisements, and the happiness of making a right us of them. The danger of not profiting by them. God's mercy hindered by Job's offence: he is exhorted to repentance. God's power uncontrollable. His works are to be magnified, but cannot be comprehended.
Job 36
Preface - Paul entreateth the Corinthians not to frustrate God's grace: setting forth his own inoffensive, painful, and patient, demeanor in the discharge of his ministry: of which he telleth them he spoke more freely out of the great love he bore them; challenging the same affection from them in return. He dissuadeth from any intimate connections with unbelievers. Christians are the temple of the living God.
2 Corinthians 6

Daily Light - Morning
Thy Maker is thine husband;
the LORD of hosts is his name.

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken...but thou shalt be called Hephzibah...for the LORD delighteth in thee... And as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. - He hath sent me...to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation...as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, adn as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, adn in judgment, adn in lovingkindness, and in mercies.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

Daily Light - Evening
My times are in thy hand.

All his saints are in thy hand. - The word of the LORD came unto him, saying, Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there... And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to 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... Your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, adn he shall direct thy paths. - Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Ps. 31.15; Deu. 33.3; 1 Ki. 17.2-4,8-9

Of Marriage
Chapter 25
PARAGRAPH 4

Marriage ought not to be within the degrees of consanguinity or affinity, forbidden in the Word;8 nor can such incestuous marriages ever be made lawful, by any law of man or consent of parties, so as those persons may live together as man and wife.9
8 Lev. 18
9 Mark 6:18; 1 Cor. 5:1

Everlasting Remembrance
... thou shalt not be forgotten of me - Isaiah 44 v 21
The Lord cannot forget you. If you stood before God in your own righteousness, then I see how you might be sparated from His love and care; for your frames vary, your goodness is like the morning cloud and the early dew. But you stand before Him in Christ: and Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
You shall be held in everlasting remembrance.
The world may forget you; your friends may forget you: for this is a forgetting world. You may not have a tombstone over your grave; but God will not forget you. Christ will put your name beside that of His faithful martyr, Antipas.
In life, in death, in eternity, thou 'shalt not be forgotten of me.'
