Daily Reading Plan - Second Year
Preface - The study of wisdom tendeth to promote godliness, to guard against the seducing of sinners, and to direct men in good and salutary ways.
Proverbs 2
Preface - After saluting the churches of Galatia, Paul testifieth his surprise that they should so soon have forsaken the truth of the gospel which he had taught them; and pronounceth those accursed who preach any other gospel. He sheweth that his doctrine was not devised to please men, but came to him by immediate revelation from God. To confirm which he relateth his conversation before his calling, and what steps he had taken immediately thereupon.
Galatians 1



Daily Light - Morning
Perfect through sufferings.

My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. - And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. - reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. - I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
He. 2.10; Mt. 26.38-39; Lu. 22.44

Daily Light - Evening
The LORD made heaven and earth, the sea,
and all that in them is.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. - By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth... For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. - Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Ex. 20.11; ps. 19.1; Ps. 33.6,9; Isa. 40.15
He. 11.3
​Ps. 8.3-4

​A Puritans Catechism
Q 36 - What benefits do believers receive from Christ at death?
A - The souls of believers are at their death made perfect in holiness, and do immediately pass into glory; and their bodies, being still united in Christ, do rest in their graves, till the resurrection.

Of the Holy Scriptures
Chapter 1
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
A triumphant deathbed
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
2 Timothy 4 v 7

Think the dying thief could say: I believe, and enter with joy into Paradise; but he could not say: 'I have kept the faith.' This makes the difference between a peaceful and triumphant death-bed. Paul 'bouth the truth, and sold it not.' That good thing committed to him he kept, by the Holy Ghost given unto him. He held the beginning of his confidence steadfast unto the end.
Learn that perseverance in the faith is needful to a triumphant deathbed. It is Christ, and Christ alone, that is our peace in dying; yet the hand that has longest held him has the firmest hold. It is not our perseverance that is our righteousness before God, but the doing and dying of the Lord Jesus; and yet without perseverance in the faith ye cannot be saved. Alas! you that turn aside to folly, you are preparing clouds for your dying bed. Can you say you have kept the faith, poor backslider?
