Daily Reading Plan - Second Year
Preface - The determined rejection and manifold judgments of the Jews. Jeremiah complaining that he is the object of universal hatred, God promiseth good to him amidst the general calamity. He complaineth of the evils he underwent for God's sake. God promiseth to support and favour him in the due discharge of His office.
Jeremiah 15
Preface - The gospel beginneth with the preaching of John the Baptist. Jesus is baptized, witnessed to from heaven: and tempted of the devil: preacheth in Galilee; calleth Peter, Andrew, James, and John; healeth one possessed of an unclean spirit. Simon's mother in law, and various other diseased persons: prayeth alone, and goeth on to preach: cleanseth a leper.
Mark 1



Daily Light - Morning
He that is mighty
hath done to me great things;
and holy is his name.

Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? - Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works, - Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy. - Hallowed be thy name.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people.

Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. - I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us...be glory.
Lu. 1.49; Ex. 15.11; Ps. 86.8; Rev. 15.4; Mt 6.9

Daily Light - Evening
The dew of Hermon.

Mount Sion, which is Hermon. - There the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. - I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass. - As the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me voice, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. - And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. It is like the precious ointment upon the head...even Aaron'w...that went down to the skirts of his garments.

PARAGRAPH 4

​This office the Lord Jesus did most willingly undertake,  (21)  which that He might discharge He was made under the law,  (22)  and did perfectly fulfill it, and underwent the punishment due to us, which we should have born and suffered,  (23)  being made sin and a curse for us;  (24)  enduring most grievous sorrows in His soul, and most painful sufferings in His body;  (25)  was crucified, and died, and remained in the state of the dead, yet saw no corruption:  (26)  on the third day He arose from the dead  (27)  with the same body in which He suffered,  (28)  with which He also ascended into heaven,  (29)  and there sits at the right hand of His Father making intercession,  (30)  and shall return to judge men and angels at the end of the world.  (31)

Lost opportunity
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it into one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Matthew 25 v 40
​
Many Christians are content to be Christians for themselves - to hung the gospel to themselves, to sit in their own room, and feast upon it alone. This did not Christ. It is true He loved much to be alone. He once said to His disciples: 'Come into a desert place, and rest a while.' He often spent the whole night in prayer on the lone mountain-side; but it is as true that He went about continually. He went and saw, and then He had compassion. He did not hide Himself from His own flesh. You should be
Christ-like. Your word should be: 'Go and see.' You should go and see the poor; and then you will feel for them. Remember what Jesus said to all His people: 'I was sick, and in prison. and ye visited me.' Be not deceived, my dear friends; it is easy to give a cold pittance of charity at the church door, and to think that that is the religion of Jesus. But, 'pure religion and undefiled, before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep yourself unspotted from the world.'​
