Daily Reading
Preface - Ahab is sore displeased at being refused the vineyard of Naboth. Jezebel comforteth him, and procureth Naboth to be stoned to death upon a false accusation of blasphemy. She sendeth Ahab to take possession of the vineyard. Elijah is sent to meet him, and denounceth God's judgments against Ahab and Jezebel for their wickedness. Ahab humbling himself before God, the punishment is deferred to his son's days.
1 Kings 21
Preface - Paul exhorteth the Thessalonians to proceed in their endeavours to please God by a holy and just conversation. He commendeth their love to one another, entreating them to abound in it, and quietly to follow their respective callings. And that they might not sorrow for the dead, as men without hope, he briefly describeth the resurrection of the just, and Christ's second coming.
1 Thessalonians 4

Daily Light - Morning
One of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you. - 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 soul. - It is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

And (Jesus) said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. - By his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. - Peace through the blood of his cross.

Ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold...but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot...manifest in these last times for you.

Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean....from all your idols, will I cleanse you. - Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience.
Jn. 19.34; Ex. 24.8; Lev. 17.11; He. 10.4
Mk. 14.24; He. 9.12; Col. 1.20
1 Pe. 1.18,19,20
Ezek. 36.25; He. 10.22


Daily Light - Evening
Amen.

Amen: the LORD God...say so too. - He who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth (Heb. God of Amen); and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth. (Heb. God of Amen).

When God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself... For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath; that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us.

These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness. - For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be his glorious name for ever... Amen, and Amen.
Mt. 6.13; 1 Ki, 1.36; Isa. 65.16
He. 6.13,16-18
Rev. 3.14; 2 Co. 1.20
Ps. 72.18-19


A Puritans Catechism
Q28 - How are we made partakers of the redemption purchased by Christ?

A - We are made partakers of the redemption purchased by Christ, by the effectual application of it to us by his Holy Spirit.

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
The blood of Jesus
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin -
1 John 1 v 7

You need the blood of Jesus as much as at the first. You never can stand before God in yourself. You must go again and again to be washed; even on your dying bed you must hide under Jehovah, our Righteousness. You must also lean upon Jesus. He alone can overcome in you. Keep nearer and nearer every day.
