Daily Reading Plan - Second Year
Preface - Job desireth to be patiently heard because of his strange calamities: he sheweth that wicked men sometimes do so prosper, that they are tempted to forget God: though at other times their destruction is manifest. The happy and unhappy are alike in death. The judgment of the wicked is in another world.
Job 21
Preface - The perference of charity to knowledge. An idol is nothing in the esteem of those who have right notions of one God, and of one Lord Jesus Christ. But it is sin in those, who by an indiscreet use of their knowledge, in eating meats offered to idols, tempt weaker consciences to offend.
1 Corinthians 8



Daily Light - Morning
I am the LORD which sanctify you.

I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people... And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.

Sanctified by God the Father. - Sanctify them through thy truth; Thy word is truth. - The very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus....that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. - Our Saviour Jesus Christ....gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. - Both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren. - For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. - Through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ.

Daily Light - Evening
Light is sown for the righteous,
and gladness for the upright in heart.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing, his sheaves with him.

That which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.... Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
Ps. 97.11; Ps. 126.5-6
1 Co. 15.37
​1 Pe. 1.3,6-7

​A Puritans Catechism
Q 21 - How did Christ, being the Son of God, become man?

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
Amazing love
... the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2 v 20

When Jacob loved Rachel, he served seven years for her - he bore the summer's heat and winter's cold. But Jesus bore the hot wrath of God, and the winter blast of His Father's anger, for those He loved. Jonathan loved David with more than the love of women, and for his sake he bore the cruel anger of his father, Saul. But Jesus, out of love to us, bore the wrath of His Father poured out without mixture. It was the love of Christ that made Him leave the love of His Father, the adoration of angels, and the throne of glory. It was love that made Him not despise the Virgin's womb; it was love that made Him hungry and thirsty and weary; love made Him hasten to Jerusalem; love led Him to gloomy, dark Gethsemane; love bound and dragged Him to the judgement hall; love nailed Him to the cross; love bowed His head beneath the amazing load of His Father's anger. 'Greater love hath no man than this.' 'I am the good Shepherd; the good Shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.'
