Daily Reading Plan - Second Year
Preface - Jeremiah, reproving the Jews for disregarding God's messages by his prophets, foretelleth the seventy years' captivity, and the succeeding destruction of Babylon. Under the figure of the cup of God's fury he foresheweth the overthrow of divers nations. The howling of the shepherds.
Jeremiah 25
Preface - Christ rideth into Jerusalem in triumph: curseth a barren fig tree: driveth the buyers and sellers out of the temple. The cursed fig tree is dried up: Christ exhorteth to faith in prayer, and to forgiveness of enemies: and silenceth the priests and others, who called in question his authority.
Mark 11



Daily Light - Morning
Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens,
that thou wouldest come down.

Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices. - We ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. - Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. - Unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. - It shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. - That blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our saviour Jesus Christ. - Our conversation is in heaven.
Isa. 64.1; Song 8.14; Ro. 8.23; Ps. 144.5
Ac. 1.11; He. 9.28; Isa. 25.9
Rev. 22.20; Titus 2.13; Phil. 3.20

Daily Light - Evening
Thou hast given me the heritage
of those that fear thy name.
​
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. - The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 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. - The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

Unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. - He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Ps. 61.5; Isa. 54.17; Ps. 34.7-10; Ps. 16.6
Mal. 4.2; Ro. 8.32



A Puritans Catechism
Q  12 - What special act of providence did God exercise towards man in the state wherein he was created?
A - When god had created man, he entered into a covenant of life with him, upon condition of perfect obedience; forbidding him to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, upon pain of death.

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
God is stronger than Satan
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
1 John 4 v 4
​
Satan is nothing in His hand. It is easier for God to crush Satan under our feet, than for you to crush a fly. God is infinitely stronger than Satan. Satan can no more hinder God from carrying us to glory than a little fly can, which you crush with your foot. 'He shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.' Submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
