Daily Reading Plan - First Year
Preface - Five kings war against Gibeon. The Gibeonites urgently appeal to Joshua, who goeth to their assistance. God encourageth him, and casteth down hailstones from heaven upon the enemy. At Joshua's word the sun and moon stand still. The five kings are discovered and shut up in a cave till the pursuit is ended. They are brought forth, scornfully used, and hanged. Makkedah destroyed with her king, and Libnah, and Lachish, and the king of Gezer, and Eglon, and Hebron, and Debir. After these conquests the army returneth to Gilgal.
Joshua 10
Psalms 142) Preface - David sheweth that in his trouble all his comfort was in prayer unto God.
Psalms 143) Preface - David prayeth to be considered with favour in judgment: his griefs caused by his enemy's persecution: he strengtheneth his faith by meditation and prayer: he prayeth for speedy help and deliverance, for God's guidance and support, and destruction of his enemies.
Psalms 142-143

​Daily Light - Morning
If we confess our sins,
he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight.

And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. - I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. - Your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. - God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. - That he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

The will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean. - They shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood.
1 Jn. 1.9; Ps. 51.3-4
Lu. 15.20; Isa. 44.22; 1 Jn. 2.12; Eph. 4.32; Ro. 3.26

Daily Light - Evening
Shall the throne of iniquity
have fellowship with thee?

Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. - Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

The prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. - An high priest....holy, harmless, undefiled.

We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. - The prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.

Whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
Ps. 94.20; 1 Jn. 1.3; 1 Jn. 3.2-3
Jn. 14.30; He. 7.26
Eph. 6.12; Eph. 2.2
​1 Jn. 5.18-19

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
When weakness is strength
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
2 Corinthians 12 v 10.

When the believer is weakest, then is he strongest. The child that knows most its utter feebleness, entrusts itself most completely into the mother's arms. THe young eagle that knows, by many a fall, its own inability to fly, yields itself to be carried on the mother's mighty wing. When it is weak, then it is strong; and just so the believer when he has found out, by repeated falls, his own utter feebleness, cling, with simplest faith, to the arm of the Saviour and leans on his Beloved, coming up out of the wilderness, and hears with joy the words: 'My grace is sufficient for thee; my strength is made perfect in weakness.'
