Daily Reading Plan - Second Year
9) Preface - The Jews, assisted by the rulers through fear of Mordecai's power, slay their enemies, and the ten sons of Haman among the rest. Ahasuerus at the request of Esther granteth to the Jews at Shushan another day of slaughter, and causeth Haman's sons to be hanged. The two days of Purim are made anniversary festivals in commemoration of this deliverance.
10) Preface - The greatness of Ahasuerus, and Mordecai's advancement under him.
Esther 9-10
Preface - Abraham himself was justified by faith: which was imputed to him for righteousness before circumcision, that he might be the common father of believers, whether circumcised or not. The promise was not given him through the law; else had it been void from the very nature of the law; but being of faith by grace is sure to all the destined seed, and not to those of the law only. The acceptableness of Abraham's faith; which stands recorded not for his sake only, but for the sake of all who shall profess a like faith in God through Christ.
Romans 4



Daily Light - Morning
Whom having not seen, ye love.

We walk by faith, not by sight. - We love him, because he first loved us. - And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. - In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise. - God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. - Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
1 Pe. 1.8; 2 Co. 5.7; 1 Jn. 4.19; 1 Jn. 4.16; Eph. 1.13; Col. 1.27

Daily Light - Evening
THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

We are all as unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags.

I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. - I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him. - To her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine lines, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus My Lord....that I may win Christ, and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.
Jer. 23.6; Isa. 64.6

PARAGRAPH 3
​
The books commonly called Apocrypha, not being of divine inspiration, are no part of the canon or rule of the Scripture, and, therefore, are of no authority to the church of God, nor to be any otherwise approved or made use of than other human writings.  (6)

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
The love of Christ
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
​Ephesians 3 v 19

Paul says: 'The love of Christ passeth knowledge.' It is like the blue sky, into which you may see clearly, but the real vastness of which you cannot measure. It is like the deep, deep sea, into whose bosom you can look a little way, but its depths are unfathomable. It has a breadth without a bound, length without end, height without top, and depth without bottom. If holy Paul said this, who was so deeply taught in divine things, who had been in the third heaven and seen the glorified face of Jesus, how much more may we, poor and weak believers, look into that love and say: It passeth knowledge!
