Daily Reading Plan - First Year Preface - David, having mustered his troops under three principal leaders, giveth them a strict charge not to hurt Absalom. The men of Israel are smitten in the wood of Ephraim. Absalom hanging by the hair of his head in an oak is slain by Joab, and cast into a pit. Absalom's place. Ahimaaz and Cushi carry tidings to David, who mourneth for Absalom. 2 Samuel 18 Preface -Paul unwillingly entereth upon a commendation of himself, out of jealousy lest the Corinthians should be perverted by false apostles from the pure doctrine of Christ. He sheweth that he was in all respects equal to the chiefest apostles; that he declined being chargeable to them not for want of love toward them, but to cut off occasion from those deceitful workers of taking shelter under his example: that he was not inferior to those, whom they so patiently submitted to, in any of their boasted prerogatives, but as a minister of Christ, in labours and sufferings for the gospel's sake, was abundantly their superior. 1 Corinthians 11 Daily Light - Morning My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. - For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. - One pearl of great price. - The prince of the kings of the earth. His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven. - The head over all things. - He is the head of the body, the church. His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers. - He could not be hid. His lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh. - Never man spake like this man. His countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. - Make thy face to shine upon thy servant. - LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause cam I unto this hour. I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. - He....became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. - In the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? - Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
