Daily Reading Plan - Second Year
Preface - Agur's confession of his own simplicity. The purity of God's word, and danger of adding thereto. The two points of Agur's prayer. A servant not to be wrongfully accused. Four wicked generations. Four things insatiable. Parents not to be despised. Four things hard to be known. Four things little, but wise. Four things stately. Silence in case of error the way to prevent wrath.
Proverbs 30
Preface - The salutation. Timothy is put in mind of the charge before given him by Paul. The end of the commandment is charity, from which some had turned aside to teach the law which they understood not. The scope of the law was to condemn wickedness, which is the design of the gospel also. Paul blesseth God for calling him to the ministry notwithstanding his great demerit, whereby all penitent sinners that believe are assured of mercy through Christ. He urgeth Timothy to a due discharge of his trust, warning him of some who had deserted the truth, of whom Hymenaeus and Alexander had been delivered by him unto Satan.
1 Timothy 1



Daily Light - Morning
What the law could not do, in that it was
weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son
in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin,
condemned sin in the flesh.

The law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered?-By him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Forasmuch...as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part o fthe same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren.
Ro. 8.3; He. 10.1-2; Ac. 13.39
He. 2.14-17



Daily Light - Evening
All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.

There is none righteous, no, not one...there is none that doeth good, no, not one. - There is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. - How can he be clean that is born of a woman?

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me...Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

The LORD...hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. - Whom he justified, them he also glorified. - We all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. - If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel.

Walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.

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
Avoiding sin
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Matthew 25 v 1

The truest mark of children of God is their avoiding sin. They flee from their old companions and old ways, they walk with God. And yet even this is imitated by the foolish virgins. They go out to meet their Lord. They flee old sins for a time, they hasten from their work to the house of God, they seek the company of God's children, perhaps they try to save others, and become very zealous in this. O how sad that many who now cling to the godly will soon be torn from them, and bound up with devils and wicked men!
