Daily Reading Plan - Second Year
Preface - God challengeth an answer. Job humbleth himself. God calleth upon Job to shew by instances of power that he is able to save himself. God's great power is seen in the behemoth.
Job 40
Preface - Paul sheweth the reason why, though he knew the forwardness of the Corinthians, he had sent the brethren beforehand to make up their collections against this coming. He stirreth them up to give bountifully and cheerfully, as a likely means to increase their store, and as productive of many thanksgivings unto God.
2 Corinthians 9



Daily Light - Morning
The LORD bless the,, and keep thee.
 
The blesing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. - Thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand... The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. _ I the LROD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept.

The Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Daily Light - Evening
Jesus wept.

A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. - We have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities. - It became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. - Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things hwich eh suffered.

I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

Behold how he loved him! - He took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Jn. 11.35; Isa. 53.3; He. 4.15; He. 2.10; He. 5.8

A Puritans Catechism
Q 32 - What is justification?
A - Justification is an act of God's free grace, wherein he pardons all our sins, and accepts us as righteous in his sight, only for the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, and received by faith alone.

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
Below His feet
It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
Psalm 119 v 71

How sweet it will be when Christ puts on the crown on a sinner's brow! The just God and Saviour! Angels will shout for joy when they see the righteous Jesus crowning the sinners for whom He died. He will finish our redemption. He was crowned with thorns; He has been an advocate crowned with glory and majesty; but another step - He is to put on the crown of righteousness. All heaven and earth and hell own Him faithful and true, and righteous in all His ways. Oh! how sweet to be crowned by Jesus.
