Daily Reading Preface - The lamentable state of Moab Isaiah 15 Preface - The apostle teacheth the duty of wives and husbands; exhorting all men to unity and love, and to return good for evil: to suffer boldly for righteousness' sake, and to give a reason of their hope with meekness and fear; taking esppecial care to suffer, as Christ did, for welldoing, and not for evildoing. The preaching of Christ by his Spirit to the old world. After what manner Christian baptism saveth us. 1 Peter 3 Daily Light - Morning A servant of Jesus Christ. Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. - If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. - Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. What things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. - Being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. - Thou art no more a servant, but a son. Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage... For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an ocasion to the flesh.

His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor. - Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. - Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. - Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. - Thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. - Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. - He knoweth the way that I take. - Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way? Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. - This God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of The Fall of Man, of Sin, and of the Punishment Thereof Chapter 6 PARAGRAPH 4 From this original corruption, whereby we are utterly indisposed, disabled, and made opposite to all good, and wholly inclined to all evil,11 do proceed all actual transgressions.12 11 Rom. 8:7; Col. 1:21 12 James 1:14–15; Matt. 15:19 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Eternity It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. - Hebrews 10 v 31 In the time of health and strength, it is common for men to boast against God. They are not in trouble as other men, neither are they plagued like other men; therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain. They can sin with a high hand. But when they are brought to the brink of the grave by fever or wasting consumption - when they need someone to turn them on their bed, or to hold up their fainting head, or to feed them like a child - then we see that a sinner is nothing in the hands of an angry God. And O what will it be in eternity, when he falls into the hands of the living God! Perhaps he doubted whether there was a God; but all of a sudden he sees there is a God. He thought there was no hell, and laughed at those who believed it - in a moment he is tossing among its fiery waves; and now he feels it must be eternal. After a thousand years it is but beginning, and no nearer an end. The soul will sink into insupportable gloom - it will wish to die, and not be able. 'What if God, willing to show His wrath, and to make His power known, endured with much long-suffering the vessles of wrath, fitted to destruction? O brethren, flee from the wrath to come! You cannot bear it. Can you bear a fever or the stroke of palsy, or a strike of lightning, or wasting consumption? And these are but the little finger of the hand of God's anger.
