Day 3 - Tuesday | Daily Devotions | Morning and Evening: Daily Read | Connect the Testaments | My Utmost for His Highest | Thoughts for the Quiet Hour |

  Morning, November 26 Go To Evening Reading "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." —Ecclesiastes 9:10 "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do" refers to possible works. There are many things that our heart finds to do that we never shall do. It is well in our heart, but if we were eminently helpful, we would not be content with forming schemes in our heart and talking of them; we must practically carry out " whatever our hand findeth to do ."

It is a liberty righteously bestowed, for the Son, the  Heir of all things, has a right to make men accessible. The saints honor the justice of God, which now secures their salvation. It is a liberty which has been dearly purchased . Christ speaks it by his power but bought it by his blood. He makes thee accessible, but it is by his own bonds. Thou goest clear because he bares thee: thou art set at liberty thy burden for because he has suffered in thy stead. But, though dearly purchased, he freely gives it . Jesus asks nothing of us in preparation for this liberty. He finds us sitting in sackcloth and ashes and bids us put on the beautiful array of freedom; he saves us just as we are, and all without our help or merit.
