Daily Reading Plan - First Year
Preface - Abimelech conspireth with the Schechemites, murdereth his brethren, and is made king. Jotham's parable of the trees, wereby he reproacheth the men of Shechem with ingratitude, and foretelleth their ruin. The Shechemites conspire with Gaal against Abinelech. Zebul sendeth Abimelech notice thereof; who overcometh them, and soweth their city with salt. The Sechemites retire to an hold of the god Berith, and are burned therein. Abimelech is slain at Thebez by a woman with a piece of millstone. Jotham's cure is fulfilled.
Judges 9
Preface - Barnabas and Saul, being set apart with fasting and prayer, are sent forth by the Holy Ghost to the work of their calling. At Paphos Elymas the sorcerer opposing the gospel is smitten with blindness, and the deputy Sergius Paulus converted to the faith. Paul and his company come to Antioch in Pisidia: Paul preacheth Christ, and the necessity of faith in him unto justification. The Gentiles desire to hear the word again: many are converted. The envious Jews gainsay and blaspheme: the apostles profess to turn to the Gentiles, of whom many believe. The Jews raise a persecution, and expel Paul and Barnabas, who go to Iconium.
Acts 13



Daily Light - Morning
By faith Abraham...
called to go out into a place which he should
after receive for an inheritance, obeyed.

He shall choose our inheritance for us. - He led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: so the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.

I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. - Who teacheth like him?

We walk by faith, not by sight. - Here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. - Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul. - Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
He. 11.8; Ps. 47.4; Deu. 32.10-12
Isa. 48.17; Job 36.22
2 Co. 5.7; He. 13.14; 1 Pe. 2.11; Mi. 2.10



Daily Light - Evening
Give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

The heavens are not clean in his sight. How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water? - Yea, the stars are not pure in his sight. How much less ma, that is a worm?

Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness....?-Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts.

As he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. - Partakers of his holiness.

The temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. - What manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness....?....without spot, and blameless.

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying.... And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.  
Ps. 97.12; Job 15.15-16; Job 25.5-6
Ex. 15.11; Isa. 6.3

The 1689
Baptist Confession of Faith
Of Lawful Oaths and Vows
Chapter 23
PARAGRAPH 5
​
A vow, which is not to be made to any creature, but to God alone, is to be made and performed with all religious care and faithfulness;  (8)  but popish monastical vows of perpetual single life,  (9)  professed poverty,  (10)  and regular obedience, are so far from being degrees of higher perfection, that they are superstitious and sinful snares, in which no Christian may entangle himself.  (11)
(8)-Ps. 76.11; Gen. 28.20-22  (9)-1 Cor. 7.2-9  (10)-Eph. 4.28  (11)-Matt. 19.1

Complete assurance
Consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus.
Hebrews 3 v 1

Oh, brethren, could you and I pass this day through these heavens, and see what is now going on in the sanctuary above, - could you see what the child of God now sees who died last night, - could you see the Lamb with the scars of His five deep wounds in the very midst of the throne, surrounded by all the odours, - could you see the many angels round about the throne, whose number is ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, all singing, 'Worthy is the Lamb that was slain,' - and were one of these angels to tell you, 'This is He that undertook the cause of lost sinners; He undertook to be the second Adam, - the man in their stead; and lo! there He is upon the throne of heaven; - consider Him, - look long and earnestly upon His wounds - upon His glory, - and tell me, do you think it would be safe to trust Him? Do you think His sufferings and obedience will have been enough? - Yes, yes, every soul exclaims, Lord, it is enough! Lord, stay thy hand! Show me no more, for I can bear no more. Ph, rather let me ever stand and gaze upon the almighty, all-worthy, all-divine Saviour, till my soul drink in complete assurance that His work undertaken for sinners is a finished work! Yes, though the sins of all the world were on my one wicked head, still I could not doubt that His work is complete, and that I am quite safe when I believe in Him.
