Daily Reading Plan - First Year
Preface - Joshua dismisseth the two tribes and half with a blessing and a share of spoil. On their journey they build the altar of testimony. The other tribes are offended thereat, and send to demand satisfaction. The two tribes and half vindicate their conduct. The deputies are satisfied. Their report satisfieth the people that sent them.
Joshua 22
Preface - The descent of the Holy Ghost upon the apostles on the day of Pentecost: they speak various languages to the general amazement, but some deride them. Peter sheweth that the inspiration spoken of by Joel was now fulfilled; that Jesus, whom they had crucified, was now risen from the dead, and ascended into heaven, according to David's predictions, and had shed forth the promise of the Holy Spirit in full proof of his being the Messias. A great number are converted by Peter's preaching; who, being baptized, converse devoutly and charitably together, the apostles working many miracles, and God daily increasing the church.
Acts 2



​Daily Light - Morning
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.

Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

I cam down from heaven, not ot do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. - I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. - O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

Not ever one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. - (Not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified....) - If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye o them. - To him that knoweth to do god, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Mt. 6.10; Ps. 103.20-21
Jn. 6.38; Ps. 40.8; Mt. 26.42

Daily Light - Evening
The ear trieth words,
as the mouth tasteth meat.

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. - judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. - I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. - Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith. - He that is spiritual judgeth all things.

Take heed what ye hear. - I know thy works....and how....thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are to, and hast found them liars. - Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

He calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
The stream of grace
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
John 7 v 38

The Holy Spirit is an imperishable stream. It is not like those rivers of which you have heard, which flow through  barren sands till they sink into the earth and disappear. Not so the stream of grace. When it flows from Jesus Christ, it flows into many a barren heart; but it is never lost there. It appears again - it flows forth from that heart in rivers of living water. When a soul is brought to believe on Jesus, and to drink in the Spirit, it often appears as if the Spirit were lost in that soul. The stream flows into such a barren heart, that it is long before it makes its appearance; but it is never lost. The Scripture must be fulfilled: 'He that believeth on me, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.'
