Daily Reading
Preface - The prophet bewaileth the manifold sins of his people, and the judgments coming upon them: he sheweth that disobedience is the cause of their calamity: he exhorteth them to lament over their desolation; and not to trust in human abilities, but in knowing God: he threateneth the Jews and their neighbours.
Jeremiah 9
Preface - Christ exhorteth to observe the doctrine, but not to follow the evil examples, of the scribes and Pharisees; and particularly not to imitate their ambition: he pronounceth various woes against them for their blindness and hypocrisy: and prophesieth the destruction of Jerusalem.
Matthew 23


Daily Light - Morning
I am my beloved's,
and his desire is toward me.

I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. - I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost.

The LORD taketh pleasure in his people. - My delights were with the sons of men. - His great love wherewith he loved us. - Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's - Whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
Song 7.10; 2 Tim. 1.12; Ro. 8.38-39; Jn. 17.12
Ps. 149.4; Pro. 8.31; Eph. 2.4; Jn. 15.13

Daily Light - Evening
Seek ye out of
the book of the LORD.

Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. - By the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. - Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

We have...a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts. - That we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Isa. 34.16; Deu. 11.18; Jos. 1.8
Ps. 37.31; Ps. 17.4; Ps. 119.11
2 Pe. 1.19; Ro. 15.4


A Puritans Catechism
​Q 44 - Which is the second commandment?
A - The second commandment is, Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Baptist Confession of Faith
Of the Law of God
Chapter 19
PARAGRAPH 1

God gave to Adam a law of universal obedience written in his heart, and a particular precept of not eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil; by which he bound him and all his posterity to personal, entire, exact, and perpetual obedience; promised life upon the fulfilling, and threatened death upon the breach of it, and endued him with power and ability to keep it.

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
He will come
For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come,
and will not tarry.
Hebrews 10 v 37

Christ is at this moment gathering a people from among the Gentiles. He is building up the great temple of the Lord, adding stone to stone. He cannot come till this is done. When all this is done, then He will come, and put on the top-stone, with shoutings of 'Grace, grace unto it.' He told Paul to remain and preach at Corinth: 'For I have much people in this city.' For the same reason He makes His ministers remain and preach on; for He has much people still. When He comes, those that are ready will enter in with Him to the marriage, and the door will be shut. There are, no doubt, many elect one, many that were given Him by the Father.
