Daily Reading Plan - Second Year
Preface - The names and order of them that builded the wall.
Nehemiah 3
Preface - Barnabas and Saul, being set apart with fasting and prayer, are sent forth by the Holy ghost to the work of their calling. At Paphos Elymas the sorcerer opposing the gospel is smitten with blindness, and the deputy Sergius Paulus converted to the faith. Paul and his company come to Antioch in Pisidia: Paul preacheth Christ, and the necessity of faith in him unto justification. The Gentiles desire to hear the word again: many are converted. The envious Jews gainsay and blaspheme: the apostles profess to turn to the Gentiles of whom many believe. The Jews raise a persecution, and expel Paul and Barnabas, who go to Iconium.
Acts 13



​Daily Light - Morning
Upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as
the appearance of a man above upon it.

The man Christ Jesus. - Made in the likeness of men....found in fashion as a man. - FOrasmuch....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.

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore. - Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. - What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? - He raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places. - In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God.
Ezek. 1.26; 1 Tim. 2.5; Phil. 2.7,8; He. 2.14
Rev. 1.18; Ro. 6.9-10; Jn. 6.62; Eph. 1.20; Col. 2.9
2 Co. 13.4



Daily Light - Evening
Thy word hath quickened me.

The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

As the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself. - I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men....As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. - The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Ps. 119.50; 1 Co. 15.45
Jn. 5.26; Jn. 11.25-26
Jn. 1.4,12-13
​Jn. 6.63; He. 4.12

The 1689
Baptist Confession of Faith
Of the Holy Scriptures
​Chapter 1
PARAGRAPH 5
​
We may be moved and induced by the testimony of the church of God to a high and reverent esteem of the Holy Scriptures; and the heavenliness of the matter, the efficacy of the doctrine, and the majesty of the style, the consent of all the parts, the scope of the whole (which is to give all glory to God), the full discovery it makes of the only way of man's salvation, and many other incomparable excellencies, and entire perfections thereof, are arguments whereby it does abundantly evidence itself to be the Word of God; yet notwithstanding, our full persuasion and assurance of the infallible truth, and divine authority thereof, is from the inward work of the Holy Spirit bearing witness by and with the Word in our hearts.  (8)
8 - John 16:13-14; 1 Cor. 2.10-12; 1 John 2:20,27



Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
Infinite love
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love
1 John 4 v 8

A mother's love is the fullest love which we have on earth. She loves with all her heart. But there is no love more full than that of God toward his Son; God loves Jesus fully. The whole heart of the Father is, as it were, continually poured down in love upon the Lord Jesus. There is nothing in Christ that does not draw the infinite love of God. In Him God sees his own image perfectly, his own law acted out, his own will done. The Father loves the Son fully; but when a soul comes into Christ, the same love rests on that soul: 'That the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them' (John 17 v. 26).
