Daily Reading Plan - First Year
Preface - The Ephraimites quarrel with Jephthah; ae smitten by the Gileadites, and, being discerned by the word Shibboleth, are slain in great numbers. Jephthah dieth. Ibzan, who had thirty sons and thirty daughters, judgeth Israel; after him Elon; and Abdon, who had forty sons and thirty nephews.
Judges 12
Preface - Paul having circumcised Timothy, and taken him for his companion, passeth through various countries, and is directed by a vision to go into Macedoni. He converteth Lydia, and casteth out a spirit of divination. He and Silas are whipped and imprisoned: the prison doors are thrown open by an earthquake at midnight; the jailor, prevented by Paul from killing himself, is converted: they are released by the magistrates.
Acts 16



​Daily Light - Morning
Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens,
that thou wouldest come down.

Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of apices. - We ourselves groan with ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. - Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. - Unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. - It shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. - That blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. - Our conversation is in heaven.
Isa. 64.1; Song 8.14; Ro. 8.23; Ps. 144.5
Ac. 1.11; He. 9.28; Isa. 25.9
Rev. 22.20; Titus 2.13; Phil. 3.20

Daily Light - Evening
Thou hast given me the heritage
of those that fear thy name.

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. - The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. - The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

Unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. - He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 
Ps. 61.5; Isa. 54.17; Ps. 34.7-10; Ps. 16.6
​Mal. 4.2; Ro. 8.32

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
God is stronger than Satan.
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
1 John 4 v 4

Satan is nothing in His hand. It is easier for God to crush Satan under our feet, than for you to crush a fly. God is infinitely stronger than Satan. Satan can no more hinder God from carrying us to glory than a little fly can, which you crush with your foot. 'He shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.' Submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
