Daily Reading Plan - First Year
Preface - The tabernacle is commanded to be set up with all its furniture, and anointed. Aaron and his sons to be sanctified 16, 17, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30. Moses performeth all things accordingly. A cloud covereth the tabernacle.
Exodus 40
Preface - Jesus is scourged, crowned with thorns, mocked, and buffeted by the soldiers. Pilate declareth his innocence: the Jews charge him with assuming the title of the Son of God. Pilate upon further examination is more desirous to release him, but overcome with the clamours of the Jews delivereth him to be crucified. He is led to Golgotha, and crucified between two malefactors. Pilate's inscription on his cross. The soldiers part his garments. He commendeth his mother to John; receiveth vinegar to drink, and dieth. The legs of the others are broken and the side of Jesus pierced. Joseph of Arimathaea beggeth his body, and assisted by Nicodemus burieth it.
John 19



Daily Light - Morning
Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. - Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? - Heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

The Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me. - God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. - There is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. - He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
Mt. 25.34; Lu. 12.32; Jas. 2.5; Ro. 8.17
Jn. 16.27; He. 11.16

​

Daily Light - Evening
Riches are not for ever: and doth the crown
endure to every generation?

Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. - Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. - Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.... For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

They do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. - We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. - To him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward. - There is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. - A crown of glory that fadeth not away.
Pro. 27.24; Ps. 39.6; Col. 3.2; Mt. 6.19-21

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
Go to Jesus
As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
John 11 v 29
​
It is evident that Mary was the more deeply affected of the two sisters. Martha was able to go about, but Mary sat still in the house. She felt the absence of Christ more than Martha. She believed his word more, and when that word seemed to fail, Mary's heart was nearly broken. Ah! it is a deep sorrow when natural and spiritual grief come together. Affliction is easily borne if we have the smile of Jehovah's countenance.
Why does the mouner rise, adn hastily drying her tears, with eager step leave the cottage door? Her friends who sat around her she seems quite to forget. 'The Master is come. 'Such is the presence of the Lord Jesus to mourners still. The world's comforters are all physicians of no value. Miserable comforters are they all. They have no balm for a wounded spirit. 'The heart knoweth its own bitterness.' But when the Master comes and calls us, the soul revives. There is life in His call, His voice speaks peace. 'In me ye shall have peace.' Mourners should rise up quickly, and go to Jesus. The bereaved should spread their sorrows at the feet of Christ.
