Daily Reading Plan - Second Year Preface - The Egyptians having caused the Chaldeans to raise the siege of Jerusalem, Zedekiah sendeth to desire Jeremiah's prayers. Jeremiah prophesieth the certain return and victory of the Chaldeans: he is taken up for a fugitive, beaten and put in prison: he assureth Zedekiah of the captivity, and entreating for his liberty obtaineth some indulgence. Jeremiah 37 Preface - David complaineth to God of the outrages of the wicked: he prayeth for reparation: he professeth his confidence. Psalm 10 Daily Light - Morning Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee. The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and purifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. - We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. - I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing. Ye re washed....ye are sanctified....ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. - The king's daughter is all glorious within. - Perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD. Let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us. These are they which....have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. - A glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but....holy and without blemish. - Ye are complete in him. Song 4.7; Isa. 1.5-6; Isa. 64.6; Ro. 7.18 1 Co. 6.11; Ps. 45.13; Ezek. 16.14 Ps. 90.17 Rev. 7.14; Eph. 5.27; Col. 2.10 Daily Light - Evening Broken cisterns, that can hold no water. Eve....bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven.... The LORD scattered them. - Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan. - It was well watered every where....even as the garden of the LORD.... But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly. I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. For in much wisdom is much grief; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. - I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards....I gathered me also silver and gold.... Then I looked on all that my hands had wrought....and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit. If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. - He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Jer. 2.13; Ge. 4.1 Ge. 11.4,8; Ge. 13.11; Ge. 13.10,13 Ec. 1.17-18; Ec. 2.4,8,11 Jn. 7.37; Ps. 107.9 A Puritans Catechism Q 23 - How does Christ execute the office of a prophet? A - Christ executes the office of a prophet, in revealing to us, by his Word and Spirit, the will of God for our salvation. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Effectual Calling Chapter 10 PARAGRAPH 3 Elect infants dying in infancy are regenerated and saved by Christ through the Spirit; (10) who works when, and where, and how He pleases; (11) so also are all elect persons, who are incapable of being outwardly called by the ministry of the Word. 10 John 3:3,5–6 11 John 3:8 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Prize the Word Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. John 15 v 3 I believe He would sanctify without the Word, as He created angels and Adam holy, and as He sanctifies infants whose ear was never opened; but I believe in grown men He never will, but through the Word. When Jesus makes holy, it is by writing the Word in the heart: 'Sanctify them through thy truth.' When a mother nurses her child, she not only bears it in her arms, but holds it to her breast, and feeds it with the milk of her own breast; so does the Lord, He not only holds the soul, but feeds it with the milk of the Word. The words of the Bible are just the breathings of God's heart. He fills the heart with these, to make us like God. When you go much with a companion, and hear his words, you are gradually changed by them into his likeness; so when you go with Christ, and hear his words, you are sanctified. Oh, there are some whom I could tell to be Christ's, by their breathing the same sweet breath! Those of you that do not read your Bible cannot turn like God - you cannot be saved. You are unsavable; you may turn like the devil, but you never will turn like God. Oh, believers, prize the Word!
