Daily Reading Plan - First Year Preface - Jerusalem is again besieged, and taken by storm: Zedekiah fleeth, is taken, his sons slain, and his own eyes put out. Nebuzar-adan having burned the temple and all the palaces of Jerusalem, and broken down the walls, carrieth the remnant of the people, except a few labourers, to Babylon. He spoileth and carrieth away the valuable things of the temple. The nobles of Judah are slain at Riblah. Gedaliah, who was set over the people that were left, being treacherously murdered, the rest flee into Egypt. Evil-merodach sheweth kindness to Jehoiachin in his captivity. 2 Kings 25 Preface - Christ, a priest after the order of Melchisedec, is proved to be of a more excellent order than that of Aaron, from the character of Melchisedec, and his confessed superiority to Abraham and Levi; from the imperfection of the Levitical priesthood, which included the necessity of a change to one more perfect; from the confirmation of Christ's priesthood by an oath; from the unchangeableness, and spotless innocence, of the person. Hebrews 7 Daily Light - Morning Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of. Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly. - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. - The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. Mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart faileth me. Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make hast to help me. Turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. - He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. - He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? 2 Co. 7.10; Mt. 26.75; 1 Jn. 1.9; 1 Jn. 1.7 Ps/ 40.12-13 Hos. 12.6 Ps/ 51.17; Ps. 147.3; Mi. 6.8 Daily Light - Evening Is it well with thee?.... And she answered, It is well. We having the same spirit of faith. As chastened, and not killed; as sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perlexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; always hearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.... For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 2 Ki. 4.26; 2 Co. 4.13 2 Co. 6.9-10 2 Co. 4.8-10,16-18 2 Jn. 2 A Puritans Catechism Q1 - What is the chief end of man? A - Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Free Will Chapter 9 PARAGRAPH 2 Man, in his state of innocency, had freedom and power to will and to do that which was good and well-pleasing to God, 2 but yet was unstable, so that he might fall from it. 3 2 Eccles. 7:29 3 Gen. 3:6 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings All love's excelling There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4 v 18 The love here spoken of is not our love to God, but His love to us; for it is called perfect love. All that is ours is imperfect. When we have done all, we must say, 'We are unprofitable servants.' Sin mingles with all we think and do. It were no comfort to tell us, that if we would love God perfectly, it would cast out fear; for how can we work that love into our souls? It is the Father's love to us that casteth out fear. He is the Perfect One. All His works are perfect. He can do nothing but what is perfect. His knowledge is perfect knowledge; His wrath is perfect wrath; His love is perfect love. It is this perfect love which casteth out fear. Just as the sunbeams cast out darkness wherever they fall, so does this love cast our fear.
