Daily Reading Plan - Second Year
Preface - God inviteth Judah to return to him notwithstanding her vile whoredom. Israel, though rejected for her lewdness, is still less criminal than Judah. Both are called to repentance upon the promises of the gospel. The people reproached with their unfaithfulness make a solemn confession of their sins.
Jeremiah 3
Preface - Christ proposeth a little child to his disciples for a pattern of innocence and humility; he warneth them to avoid offences, though at the expense of an hand, a foot, or an eye: and not to despise the little ones: he teacheth how to treat an offending brother, and how oft to forgive him, by the parable of a king.
Matthew 18



Daily Light - Morning
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit
into the wilderness
to be tempted of the devil.

In the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him. - We have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. - My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
Mt. 4.1; He. 5.7-9; He. 4.15
1 Co. 10.13; 2 Co. 12.9


​
Daily Light - Evening
The Son of man came...
to give his life a ransom for many.

If the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter. - I lay down my life for the sheep.... No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.

The life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. - Without shedding of blood is no remission.

While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Mt. 20.28; He. 9.13-14
Isa. 53.7; Jn. 10.15,18
Lev. 17.11; He. 9.22
Ro. 5.8-9

The 1689
Baptist Confession of Faith
Of God's Covenant
Chapter 7
PARAGRAPH 3

​This covenant is revealed in the gospel; first of all to Adam in the promise of salvation by the seed of the woman,  (5)  and afterwards by farther steps, until the full discovery thereof was completed in the New Testament;  (6)  and it is founded in that eternal covenant transaction that was between the Father and the Son about the redemption of the elect;  (7)  and it is alone by the grace of this covenant that all the posterity of fallen Adam that ever were saved did obtain life and blessed immortality, man being now utterly incapable of acceptance with God upon those terms on which Adam stood in his state of innocency.  (8)
5)  Gen. 3:15
6)  Heb. 1:1
7)  2 Tim. 1:9; Titus 1:2
8)  Heb. 11:6.13; Rom. 4:1-2; Acts 4:12; John 8:56



Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
Different ways
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with an infidel?
​
Can two walk together except they be agreed? It is impossible that two souls can be happy together if they love opposite things. It is like two bullocks in the yoke drawing different ways. Hence the deep wisdom of the command which forbids God's children to intermarry with the world. What fellowship hath light with darkness? In the same way with Christ's bride, she must be of one mind with him, if she would enter in with him to the marriage.
Suppose one of you who has an old heart were to be admitted with Christ to the marriage. Your heart is enmity to God, you hate God's people, the Sabbath is a weariness, you serve divers lusts and pleasures. The Lamb that is in the midst of the throne would lead you, and God would wipe away tears from your eyes. But you hate God and the Lamb. How could you be happy there? None but God's children or companions (psalm-singing hypocrites, as you used to call them) - could you be happy with them? An eternal Sabbath! My highest notion of heaven is an eternal Sabbath with Christ. Could you be happy? Could you enjoy it? Ah, my friends, there shall in no wise enter in any that defileth, and that maketh or loveth a lie. If you are still unborn again, you are not ready.
