Daily Reading Plan - First Year
2) Preface - The meat offering of flour with oil and incense, either baken in the oven, or on a plate, or in a fryingpan. The oblation of firstfruits not to be burnt. The salt of the meat offering. The meat offering of the firstfruits in the ear.

Leviticus 2-3
Preface - Christ appeareth to his disciples at the sea of Tiberias, and maketh himself known by a great draught of fishes: he eateth before them: he thrice repeateth his charge to Peter to feed his flock; foretelleth the manner of his death; and rebuketh his curiosity concerning John. John asserteth the truth of his testimony, and that Jesus did many acts besides, too numerous to be recorded.
John 21



​Daily Light - Morning
My God shall supply all your need
according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Seek ye firs tthe kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. - He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? - All things are yours; whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. - As having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. - The LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. - The living God....giveth us richly all things to enjoy. - God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.

Daily Light - Evening
What communion hath light with darkness?

Men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. - Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Darkness hath blinded his eyes. - Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

The dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. - Love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

Ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
God's providence
For all things are for your sakes....
2 Corinthians 4 v 15

All things are for your sakes. For the sake of believers this world was created - the sun made to rule the day, and the moon to rule the night; every shining star was made for them. All are kept in being for your sakes. Winds rise and fall, waves roar and are still, seasons revolve, seed-time and harvest, day and night - all for your sakes. 'All things are yours.
All events are for your sakes. Kingdoms rise and fall to save God's people. Nations are His rod, His saw and axe to hew out a way for the chariot of the everlasting gospel; even as Hiram's hewers in Lebanon and the Gibeonite drawers of water were building up the temple of God. The enemies  of the church are only a rod in God's hand. He will do his purpose with them, then break the rod in two, and cast it away.
Specially all the providences of believing families are for your sakes. When Christ is dealing with a believing family, you say, 'That is no matter of mine. What have I to do with it?' Ah, truly if you are of the world, you have no part or lot in it! But if you are Christ's, it is for your sake, to the intent that ye may believe. The dealings of Christ with believing families are very instructive, His afflictions and His comforts, His way.
O learn to bear one another's burdens, to see more of Christ's hand among you, to the intent that ye may believe!

There's not a plant that grows below
But makes His glory known;
And thunders roll and tempests blow
By order from the throne.
