Daily Reading Plan - Second Year
Preface - God revealed himself by prophecy, that his works might not be ascribed to idols: he saveth his people for his own sake: he exhorteth them to obedience because of his power and providence: he lamenteth their disobedience: he sendeth his people out of Babylon.
Isaiah 48
Preface - A mighty ange3l declareth the fall of Babylon. God's people commanded to depart out of her. Her judgment. The kings of the earth, and the merchants, and mariners, lament over  her. The saints are excited to rejoice over her. A millstone cast into the sea denoteth her irrecoverable fall.
Revelation 18



Daily Light - Morning
See then that ye walk circumspectly,
not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time,
because the days are evil.

Take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law....to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. - Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. - Abstain from all appearance of evil.

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridgroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. - Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall. - Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching.

Daily Light - Evening
Hold that fast which thou hast,
that no man take thy crown.

If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. - Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.... I will; be thou clean. - Faith as a grain of mustard seed.

Cast not away....your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. - Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

First the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. - Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD. - The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. - So run, that ye may obtain.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day.

A Puritans Catechism
Q  74 - How do Baptism and the Lord's Supper become spiritually helpful?
A - Baptism and the Lord's Supper become spiritually helpful, not from any virtue in them, or in him who does administer, them, but only by the blessing of Christ, and the working of the Spirit in those who by faith receive them.

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
Study holiness
But as he which hath called you is holy so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
1 Peter 1 v 15
​
Seek daily likeness to Jesus. We are not justified by our sanctification; and yet without sanctification we cannot have abiding peace or communion. We are justified entirely by the doing and dying of the Lord Jesus; and yet, when justified, He will change us into His image; so that the longer we are justified we should be the more sanctified. Study holiness, if you would have peace now, and be found of Christ in peace. The holiest believers are evermore the happiest.
