Daily Reading Plan - Second Year Preface - God disalloweth the parable of sour grapes: he sheweth his dealing with a just man, with the wicked son of a just father, and with the just son of a wicked father: he declareth that the treatment of both son and father shall be according to their respective deserts: and that the wicked, if he repent, shall live; but he that revolteth from his righteousness shall die: he defendeth the equity of his dealings: and exhorteth to repentance. Ezekiel 18 62) Preface - David professing his confidence in God discourageth his enemies. In the same confidence he encourageth the godly. No trust is to be put in worldly things. Power and mercy belong to God. 63) Preface - David's thirst after God's service in his sanctuary: his manner of blessing God: his confidence of the destruction of his enemies, and of his own rejoicing. Psalm 62-63 Daily Light - Morning Sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the lar, but under grace? God forbid. - My brethren, ye...are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. - Being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ. - The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. - Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. - If the Son...shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Ro. 6.14; Ro. 6.15; Ro. 7.4; 1 Co. 9.21; 1 Co. 15.56-57 Ro. 8.2; Jn. 8.34; Jn. 8.36 Ga. 5.1 Daily Light - Evening A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. He that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. - Let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. - What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Be no more children, tossed to and from, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love...grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ. Abide in me. - Be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. Jas. 1.8; Lu. 9.62 He. 11.6; Jas. 1.6,7; Mk. 11.24 Eph. 4.14-15 Jn. 15.4; 1 Co. 15.58 A Puritan's Catechism Q 39 - What shall be done to the wicked at the day of judgment? A - At the day of judgment the bodies of the wicked being raised out of their graves, shall be sentenced, together with their souls, to unspeakable torments with the devil and his angels for ever. 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 The third heaven of the believer's privileges For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. Romans 14 v 7 Surely this privilege is more than all that went before. Peace with God is a blessed thing, but it does not imply that the heart is burning with intense joy and love in view of a reconciled God. Access to His favour is a blessed thing; but it only implies liberty of coming before Him with acceptance. Joy in hope of glory is a blessed thing; but is in the very nature of it a happiness whose object is enjoyed and afar off. Joy in tribulation, again, is a blessed thing;/ but it is a happiness which can only be enjoyed upon the earth. It is a joy, too, in spite of misery - a perfecting, but surely not a perfect joy. But joy in God is the most blessed thing of all. This is the third heaven of the believer's privileges - a joy which all the redeemed are sharing with angels - a joy begun in this world, made perfect in glory.
