Daily Reading Plan - Second Year
Preface - The use of the proverbs. An exhortation to fear God, and regard the advice of parents: and to avoid the enticings of sinners. Wisdom complaineth of the contempt of scorners: she threateneth them.
Pr. 1
Preface - Paul threateneth to vindicate his authority at his coming by punishing severely unreclaimed offenders. He adviseth the Corinthians to try if they had as good proofs of their faith, as he trusted to have his mission. He wisheth that by a blameless conversation they might prevent him from using sharpness toward them, whatever became of his proofs. He concludeth with an exhortation, salutation, and prayer.
2 Corinthians 13



Daily Light - Morning
Adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour 
in all things.

Let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ. - Abstain from all appearance of evel. - If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye... But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. - Be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world. - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: so shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. - Brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Titus 2.10; Phil. 1.27; 1 Th. 5.22; 1 Pe. 4.14,15; Phil. 2.15; Mt. 5.16
Pro. 3.3-4; Phil. 4.8



Daily Light - Evening
Thy words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit, and they are lfie.

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth. - The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

Christ...loved the church, and gave himself for ti; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing.

Wherewithall shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. - Thy word hath quickened me. - Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee... I will not forget thy word... I trust in thy word... The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver... I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me... How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
Jn. 6.63; Jas. 1.18; 2 Co. 3.6
Eph. 5.25-27

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
The Comforter abides forever
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Hebrews 13 v 5

You may take these words as those of the Spirit, and then they are like those words in fourteenth of John - 'I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever' - to abide with you for ever. It is the same as these words - 'I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.' When God the Holy Spirit comes to a soul, He will never leave it. Some may often be made to say 'I think the Spirit will go away from me. But observe, He says, 'I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.' David cried out in the bitterness of his soul. 'Take not thy Holy Spirit away from me.' Here is the answer - 'I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.' God will never forsake the temple in which He dwells. He forsook the tabernacle in the wilderness, and He forsook the temple at Jerusalem, but He will never forsake the living temple.
