Daily Reading Plan - First Year
Preface - The seventh year a year of release for the poor. It must be no hindrance to lending or giving. An Hebrew servant, unless he be unwilling to depart, must in the seventh year go forth free and well furnished. All firstling males of the cattle are to be sanctified unto the Lord.
Deuteronomy 15
Preface - The prophet complaineth bitterly of his afflicted case: he taketh comfort in the eternity and mercy of God. The mercies of God are worthy to be recorded. The prophet, sensible of his own weakness, resteth his hope on the unchangeable nature of God.
Psalms 102

​Daily Light - Morning
The younger son gathered all together,
and took his journey into a far country, and there
wasted his substance with riotous living.

Such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. - We....were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

God commandeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.... If, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Lu. 15.13; 1 Co. 6.11; Eph. 2.3-6
1 Jn. 4.10
​Ro. 5.8,10

Daily Light - Evening
As Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. - I forgave thee all that debt....shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

When ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. - Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any.

How oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Charity....is the bond of perfectness.
Col. 3.13; Lu. 7.41-42; Mt. 18.32,33
Mk. 11.25-26; Col. 3.12-13
Mt. 18.21-22

Baptist Confession of Faith
Of the Gospel, and of the extent of the Grace thereof
Chapter 20
PARAGRAPH 2
​
This promise of Christ, and salvation by him, is revealed only by the Word of God;  (3)  neither do the works of creation or providence, with the light of nature, make discovery of Christ, or of grace by him, so much as in a general or obscure way;  (4)  much less that men destitute of the revelation of Him by the promise or gospel, should be enabled thereby to attain saving faith or repentance.  (5)
(3)-Rom. 1.17  (4)-Rom. 10.14-15,17  (5)-Prov. 29.18; Isa. 25.7; 60.2-3

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
Everlasting love
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: fo rhe hath said, I will never leave thee, no forsake thee.
Hebrews 13 v 5

It is the word of the three-one God. You may take each of the persons of the Godhead, and apply this word to Him - 'I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.' You may take it as the word of Immanuel. You remember what Christ said to His disciples - 'Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.' This is the same promise. Brethren, when the Lord Jesus comes to you, and covers you with His garment, and says, 'Fear not,' He will never forsake that soul. A mother may forsake - 'Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, she may forget; yet will I not forget thee.' Observe, brethren, that when once the Lord Jesus comes to a sinner to be His righteousness, He will never leave him - 'I am with you always.' Oh! it is this that makes Him a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Why will He never leave us? The first reason is, His love is everlasting love. It is not like the love of a creature - it is unchangeable. Another reason is, He has died for that soul: He has borne all for that soul. Will he ever leave a soul that He has died for.
