Daily Reading Plan - Second Year
Preface - Job sheweth that his complaints are not causeless: he wisheth for death, wherein he is assured of comfort: he reproveth his friends of unkindness.
Job 6
Preface - Paul's prayer for Israel, who were misled by blind zeal. The difference between justification by the law and by faith explained from scripture Salvation open to all that believe, both Jews and Gentiles. The necessity of preaching to the Gentiles inferred. God's acceptance of the Gentiles known before to the Jews; as also their own refusal of his offered mercy.
Romans 10



Daily Light - Morning
When thou has eaten and are full...
thou shalt bless the LORD thy God
for the good land which he hath given thee.

Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God. - One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

Every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. - He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks. - The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul....who forgiveth all thine iniquities....who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies.
Deu. 8.10; Deu. 8.11; Lu. 17.15-18
1 Tim. 4.4-5; Ro. 14.6; Pro. 10.22
Ps. 103.1-2,3,4



Daily Light - Evening
Jesus....was moved with compassion toward them.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. - We have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. - Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way. - He cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour? Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
Mt. 14.14; He. 13.8; He. 4.15; He. 5.2; Mk. 14.37-38
Ps. 103.13-14
Ps. 86.15-16

Soul thirst
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
Psalm 42 v 1

These are supposed to be the words of David when he fled from his son Absalom. He seems to have been wandering in some solitary wild on the side of Mount Hermon, the stream of Jordan flowing at his feet. David seems to have been full of pensive meditation: for his enemies reproached him daily, saying: 'Where is thy God? 'nay, even God seemed to forget him, all his waves and billows were going over him; when suddenly a deer bounded past hm. It had been sore wounded by the archers, or pursued by some wild beast on the mountains of the leopards. Faint and weary, he saw it rushing towards the flowing stream, and quenching its thirst in the water brook. His soul was quickened by the sight. Is not this just a picture of what I should be? Is not my God all to me that the flowing stream is to that wounded deer? 'As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.'
