Daily Reading Plan - First Year
Preface -The kindness of Jacob and Esau at their meeting. Jacob cometh to Succoth. At Shalem he buyeth a field, and buildeth an altar called EI-eloche-Israel.
Genesis 33
Preface - The parable of the sower. Why Christ taught in parables. The exposition of the parable. The light of knowledge is given to be communicated to others. The kingdom of God likened to the seed which groweth imperceptibly: and to a grain of mustard seed. Christ stilleth a tempest by his word.
Mark 4



Daily Light - Morning
Whom having not seen, ye love.

We walk by faith, not by sight. - We love him, because he first loved us. - And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. - In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise. - God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. - Blessed are they that put their trust in him.
1 Pe. 1.8; 2 Co. 5.7; 1 Jn. 4.19; 1 Jn. 4.16; Eph. 1.13; Col. 1.27
1 Jn. 4.20
Jn. 20.29; Ps. 2.12




Daily Light - Evening
THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags.

I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. - I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God: for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him. - To her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord....that I may win Christ, and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.
Jer. 23.6; Isa. 64.6
Ps. 71.16; Isa. 61.10
Lu. 15.22; Rev. 19.8
​Phil. 3.8-9



​A Puritans Catechism
Q 1 - What is the chief end of man?

The 1689
Baptist Confession of Faith
Of the Church
Chapter 26
PARAGRAPH 4
​
The Lord Jesus Christ is the Head of the church, in whom, by the appointment of the Father, all power for the calling, institution, order or government of the church, is invested in a supreme and sovereign manner; (7)  the neither can the Pope of Rome in any sense be head thereof, but is that antichrist, that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalts himself in the church against Christ, and all that is called God; whom the Lord shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. (8)
(7)  Col. 1.18; Matt. 28.18-20; Eph. 4:11-12  (8)  2 Thess. 2:2-9



Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
The love of Christ
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye 
might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Ephesians 3 v 19

Paul says: 'The love of Christ passeth knowledge.' It is like the blue sky, into which you may see clearly, but the real vastness of which you cannot measure. It is like the deep, deep sea, into whose bosom you can look a little way, but its depths are unfathomable. It has a breadth without a bound, length without end, height without top, and depth without bottom. If holy Paul said this, who was so deeply taught in divine things, who had been in the third heaven and seen the glorified face of Jesus, how much more may we, poor and weak believers, look into that love and say: It passeth knowledge!
