“Is not this the carpenter…?”

Manner of Life
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Psalm 127:1

Daily Meditation
“Is not this the carpenter…?”
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. Mark 6:3-5 Read Mark 6

Hymn
“They shall call His Name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” Matthew 1:23
Eternal depth of love divine,
In Jesus, God with us, displayed;
How bright Thy beaming glories shine!
How wide Thy healing streams are spread!

With whom dost Thou delight to dwell?
Sinners, a vile and thankless race:
O God, what tongue aright can tell
How vast Thy love, how great Thy grace!

The dictates of Thy sovereign will
With joy our grateful hearts receive:
All Thy delight in us fulfill;
Lo! all we are to Thee we give.

To Thy sure love, Thy tender care,
Our flesh, soul, spirit, we resign:
O fix Thy sacred presence there,
And seal the abode for ever Thine.

O King of glory, Thy rich grace
Our feeble thought surpasses far;
Yea, even our crimes, though numberless,
Less numerous than Thy mercies are.

Still, Lord, Thy saving health display,
And arm our souls with heav’nly zeal;
So fearless shall we urge our way
Through all the powers of earth and hell.

Consolation
Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour. Proverbs 14:9

Exhortation
Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. Isaiah 51:7

Proverbs
A man that shall wander out of the way of doctrine, shall abide in the company of the giants. He that loveth good cheer, shall be in want: he that loveth wine, and fat things, shall not be rich. The wicked is delivered up for the just: and the unjust for the righteous. is better to dwell in a wilderness, than with a quarrelsome and passionate woman. There is a treasure to be desired, and oil in the dwelling of the just: and the foolish man shall spend it. Proverbs 21:16-20

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. Psalm 119:5-7
