Daily Prayer - Wednesday
- Give thank to God for the Bible its inspiration and preservation for us to read it today. (2 Timothy 3.16, Proverbs 30.5.) - Give thanks to God that we have easy access to the Scripture in English, in our mother tongue. - Pray the Lord would bless us as we study the Bible through the ministry this coming year. That as we work through a book of the Bible the Lord would continue to help us to grasp God's truth. - Pray for the Lunchtime outreach service and those who attend; pray that more from the offices nearby and Christians who commute are able to join us.

They are exhorted to repent for fear of his judgments. No intercession shall save the guilty land from God's judgment of famine, noisome beasts, the sword, the pestilence, or from the four judgments together. A remnant shall be left for the instruction and consolation of others. Ezekiel 14 Preface - David in his prayer complaineth of his distress: he prayeth against his enemies, of whose wickedness and treachery he complaineth: he comforteth himself in God's preservation of him and confusion of his enemies. Psalms 55 Daily Light - Morning Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil. - If sinners entice thee, consent thou not. Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? - Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him... The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. In time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. - Ye have not so learned Christ; if so be that ye have heard him...as the truth is in Jesus. Ro. 12.2; Ex. 23.2; Pro. 1.10 Jas. 4.4 2 Co. 6.14-16; 1 Jn. 2.15,17 Eph. 2.2; Eph. 4.20,21 Daily Light - Evening Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground. - We commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. - Study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, without thou goest. - The night cometh, when no man can work. Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. - Always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. There remaineth...a rest to the people of God. - Unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. - This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing. Ps. 104.23; Ge. 3.19; 2 Th. 3.10; 1 Th. 4.11 Ec. 9.10; Jn. 9.4 Ga. 6.9; 1 Co. 15.58 He. 4.9; Mt. 20.12; Isa. 28.12 A Puritans Catechism Q 22 - What offices does Christ execute as our Redeemer? A - Christ, as our Redeemer, executes the offices of a prophet, of a priest, and of a king, both in his state of humiliation and exaltation. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of the Lord's Supper Chapter 30 PARAGRAPH 4 The denial of the cup to the people, worshipping the elements, the lifting them up, or carrying them about for adoration, and reserving them for any pretended religious use, are all contrary to the nature of this ordinance, and to the institution of Christ.6 6 Matt. 26:26–28, 15:9, Exod. 20:4–5 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings The sanctification of the saint But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 1 Corinthians 1 v 30 Everyone whom Christ reconciles He makes holy, and confesses before His Father. 'Whom he justified, them he glorified'. If Christ has truly begun a good work in you, He will perform it to the day of Christ Jesus. Christ says: 'I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending.' Whenever He begins, He will make an end. Whenever He builds a stone on the foundation, He will preserve it unshaken to the end. Only make sure that you are upon the foundation - that you are reconciled - that you have true peace with God, and then you may look across the mountains and rivers that are between now and that day, and say: 'He is able to keep me from falling.' You have but two shallow brooks to pass through - sickness and death; and He has promised to meet you, and go with you, foot for foot. A few more tears - a few more temptations - a few more agonising prayers - a few more sacraments, and you will stand with the Lamb upon Mount Zion!
