Daily Light - Morning
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested,
that he might destroy the works of the devil.

We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. - Forasmuch....as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. - And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them. - I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Jn. 3.8; Eph. 6.12; He. 2.14; Col. 2.15; Rev. 12.10-11
1 Co. 15.57



Daily Light - Evening
Vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

We spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. - Here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. I am the LORD, I change not. - Our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. - The creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. - Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. 
Ec. 1.2; Ps. 90.9-10
1 Co. 15.19; He. 13.14; Mal. 3.6; Phil. 3.20-21; Ro. 8.20
​He. 13.8; Rev. 4.8

​A Puritans Catechism
Q 17 - Wherein consists the sinfulness of that state whereinto man fell?
A - The sinfulness of that state whereinto man fell consists in the guilt of Adam's first sin, the want of original righteousness, and the corruption of his whole nature, which is commonly called original sin, together with all actual transgressions which proceed from it.


The 1689
Baptist Confession of Faith
Of Saving Faith
Chapter 14
PARAGRAPH 3
​
This faith, although it be in different stages, and may be weak or strong.  (11)  yet it is in the least degree of it different in the kind or nature of it, as is all other saving grace, from the faith and common grace of temporary believers;  (12)  and therefore, though it may be many times assailed and weakened, yet it gets the victory,  (13)  growing up in many to the attainment of a full assurance through Christ,  (14)  who is both the author and finisher of our faith.  (15)
(11)-Heb. 5.13-14; Matt. 6.30; Rom. 4.19-20  (12)-2 Pet. 1,1  (13)-Eph. 6.16; 1 John 5.4-5  (14)-Heb. 6.11-12; Col. 2.2  (15)-Heb. 12.2

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
A great Love
Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God:
1 John 3 v 1
​
How often in the day is the love of Christ quite out of view! How often is it obscured to us! How often are we left without a realising sense of the completeness of His offering. Is there any one of you desirous of being made new, of being delivered from the slavery of sinful habits and affections? We can point you to no other remedy but the love of Christ. Behold how He loved you! See what He bore for you; under a sense of your sin, flee to the Saviour of sinners. As the timorous dove flies to hide itself in th
