Daily Reading Plan - Second Year
Preface - Isaiah prophesieth the coming of Christ's kingdom. Wickedness is why God hath forsaken his people. The prophet forewarneth them of the terrible day of the Lord.
Isaiah 2
Preface - The sacrifices of the law, being often repeated, could not take away sins. The abolition of them, and substitution of Christ's body in their stead, foretold by the Psalmist: by the offering of which body once for all we obtain perfect remission. An exhortation to stedfastness in the faith, and to love and good works. The danger of a wilful relapse after having received the knowledge of the truth; and of forfeiting the reward of a good beginning for want of perseverance.
Hebrews 10



Daily Light - Morning
Take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or,
What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?....for your heavenly Father knoweth
that ye have need of all these things.

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. - No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

I would have you without carefulness. - Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. - Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? - Have faith in God.
Mt. 6.31,32; Ps. 34.9-10; Ps. 84.11-12
1 Co. 7.32; Phil. 4.6
​Mt. 10.29-31; Mk. 4.40; Mk. 11.22

Daily Light - Evening
He spread a cloud for a covering;
and fire to give light in the night.

Like as a father pirieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. - THere shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.

The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand... The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. - The LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: he took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Ps. 105.39; Ps. 103.13-14
Ps. 121.6; Isa. 4.6

PARAGRAPH 2

​God, having all life,  (17)  glory,  (18)  goodness,  (19)  blessedness, in and of Himself, is alone in and unto Himself all-sufficient, not standing in need of any creature which He hath made, nor deriving any glory from them,  (20)  but only manifesting His own glory in, by, unto, and upon them; He is the alone fountain of all being of whom, through whom, and to whom are all things,  (21)  and He hath most sovereign dominion over all creatures, to do by them, for them, or upon them, whatsoever Himself pleases;  (22)  in His sight all things are open and manifest,  (23)  His knowledge is infinite, infallible, and independent upon the creature, so as nothing is to Him contingent or uncertain;  (24)  He is most holy in all His counsels, in all His works,  (25)  and in all His commands; to Him is due from angels and men, whatsoever worship,  (26)  service, or obedience, as creatures they owe unto the Creator, and whatever He is further pleased to require of them.

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
Use it right
And behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Revelation 22 v 12
​
The whole Bible shows that Christians will be rewarded in eternity just in proportion to the use they have made of their talents. Now, money is one talent. If you use it right you will in no wise lose your reward. Christ plainly shows that He will reckon with men in the judgement according as they have dealt by His poor Christians. They that have done much for Christ shall have an abundant entrance; they that have done little shall have little reward.
I thank God that there are some among you to whom Christ will say: 'Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.' Go on, dear Christians - live still for Christ. Never forget, day nor night, that you are yourselves bought with a price. Lay yourselves and your property all in His hand, and say: 'What wilt thou have me to do? Here am I, send me'; and then I know you will feel, now and in eternity. 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'
