Daily Reading Plan - Second Year
Preface - The adversaries of the Jews offering to join in building the temple, and being rejected, endeavour to hinder the work. They write to Arlaxerxes. The copy of their letter. The answer of Artaxerxes, and his decree to stop the progress of the work. The building is suspended for a time.
Ezra 4
Preface - God is praised in heaven for judging the great whore, and avenging the blood of his saints. The triumph because of the marriage of the Lamb. The angel, who shewed John these things, refuseth to be worshipped. The vision of the Word of God sitting upon a white horse, and followed by his armies. The fowls called to feast on the flesh of those that took part with the beast. The beast and the false prophet cast into the lake of fire and brimstone; and the rest slain.
Acts 4



Daily Light - Morning
The only wise God our Saviour.

Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. - Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?

We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory. - The mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: to the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. - The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without pariality, and without hypocrisy.
Jude 25; 1 Co. 1.30; Job 11.7-8
1 Co. 2.7; Eph. 3.9-10
Jas. 1.5; Jas. 3.17

Daily Light - Evening
When shall I arise, and the night be gone?

Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said, The morning cometh.

Yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. - He shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds.

I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also... Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you.

Let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. - Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

There shall be no night there.
Job 7.4; Isa. 21.11-12

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 victory of the blood
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb ...
Revelation 12 v 11

We wrestle not with flesh and blood. An awakened soul often has an awful warfare with Satan. Satan fights against him in two ways: first, by stirring up his corruption's, and making his lusts to flame and burn within him in a fearful manner. Second, by accusing him. Satan is the accuser of the brethren. He accuses him in his conscience, in order to drive him away from Christ - to drive him to despair, and to give up all hope of salvation. He says to him: 'Thou art a vile wretch, not fit for a holy Saviour. See what raging lusts are in thy heart. Thou wilt never be saved.' Ah, when the poor sinner runs into Christ, he finds rest there - his warfare is then accomplished. He sees all the accusations of Satan answered in the blood of the Lamb.
