Daily Reading Plan - First Year
Preface - All communication with the seven nations of Canaan is forbidden for fear of idolatry, and in consideration of the holiness of the people. The justice and mercy of God's nature a motive to obedience. Blessings and victory are assured to them from God in return. Images must be wholly destroyed.
Deuteronomy 7
Preface - The Psalmist declareth God's providence over Israel; he complaineth of human frailty, divine chastisements, and the shortness of life: he prayeth for a due sense of this, and for the sensible experience of God's good providence.
Psalms 90

​Daily Light - Morning
Watch therefore,
for ye know neither the day nor the hour
wherein the Son of man cometh.

Take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and care of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

The day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
Mt. 25.13; Lu. 21.34-36
1 Th. 5.2-6

Daily Light - Evening
I am the Almighty God;
walk before me, and be thou perfect.

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect.... I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. - We all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

These words spake Jesus.... I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.... I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one.
Ge. 17.1; Phil. 3.12,13-14
Ge. 5.24
2 Pe. 3.18; 2 Co. 3.18
Jn. 17.1,15,23

The 1689
Baptist Confession of Faith
Of the Law of God
Chapter 19
PARAGRAPH 3
​
Besides this law, commonly called moral, God was pleased to give to the people of Israel ceremonial laws, containing several typical ordinances, partly of worship, prefiguring Christ, his graces, actions, sufferings, and benefits;  (6)  and partly holding forth divers instructions of moral duties,  (7)  all which ceremonial laws being appointed only to the time of reformation, are, by Jesus Christ the true Messiah and only law-giver, who was furnished with power from the Father for that end abrogated and taken away.  (8)
(6)-Heb. 10.1; Col. 2.17  (7)-Cor. 5.7  (8)-Col. 2.14, 16-17; Eph. 2.14,16

Rest
.... yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
Revelation 14 v 13

We shall 'rest from our labours.' We shall not rest from all work; we shall serve Him day and night in His temple. We shall not rest from our work, but from our labours, there will be no toil, no pain, in our work. We shall rest in our work. Oh, let this make you willing to depart, and make death look pleasant, and Heaven a home. It is a world of holy love, where we shall give free, full, unfettered, unwearied expression to our love for ever.
