Daily Reading Plan - First Year Preface - Hezekiah proclaimeth a solemn passover to be kept in the second month, and calleth all Judah and Israel to the celebration of it. The assembly, having destroyed the altars of idolatry in Jerusalem, keep the feast fourteen days. The priests bless the people. 2 Chronicles 30 Preface - The seven angels are commanded to pour out their vials on the earth. Great plagues follow thereupon. Christ cometh suddenly as a thief: blessed are thy that watch. Revelation 16 Daily Light - Morning The kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared. I have loved thee with an everlasting love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. When the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. - The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. - Great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh. As the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, and is, the devil. Titus 3.4; Jer. 31.3 1 Jn. 4.9-10 Ga. 4.4-5; Jn. 1.14; 1 Tim. 3.16 He. 2.14 Daily Light - Evening Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing... Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. - For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. He...spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all. - Having yet...one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! - Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 2 Co. 9.15; Ps. 100.1-2,4; Isa. 9.6-7 Ro. 8.32; Mk. 12.6 Ps. 107.21; Ps. 103.1 Lu. 1.46-47 A Puritans Catechism Q 45 - What is required in the second commandment? A - The second commandment requires the receiving, observing, and keeping pure and entire, all such religious worship and ordinances as God hath appointed in his Word. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Repentance unto Life and Salvation Chapter 15 PARAGRAPH 2 Whereas there is none that does good and does not sin, 2 and the best of men may, through the power and deceitfulness of their corruption dwelling in them, with the prevalency of temptation, fall in to great sins and provocations; God has, in the covenant of grace, mercifully provided that believers so sinning and falling be renewed through repentance unto salvation. 3 2 Eccles. 7:20 3 Luke 22:31–32 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings 'Tis the Lord! O Wondrous story' Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Matthew 1 v 23 In the manger at Bethlehem, there lay a perfect infant, but there also was Jehovah. That mysterious being who rode on an ass's colt, and wept over Jerusalem, was as much a man as you are, and as much God as the Father is. The tears He shed were human tears, yet the love of Jehovah swelled below His mantle. That pale being that hung quivering on the cross was indeed man - it was human blood that flowed from His wounds - but He was as truly God. In being without sin. He was the only one in Human from of whom it can be said, he was holy, harmless, undefiled and separate from sinners; the only one on whom God could look down from heaven, and say, 'This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.' Every member of our body and faculty of our mind we have used as the servants of sin. Every member of His body and faculty of His mind were used only as servants to holiness. His mouth was the only human mouth from which none but gracious words ever proceeded. His eye was the only human eye that never shot forth flames of pride, or envy, or lust. His hand was the only human hand that never was stretched forth but in doing good. His heart was the only human heart that was not deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. When Satan came to Him, he found nothing in Him. Now, in these two things it behoved Him to be unlike His brethren, or He could not have been a Saviour at all. In all other things it behoved Him to be made like us. There was no part of our condition that He did not humble Himself unto.
