Daily Reading Plan - First Year
Preface - The Lord is the inheritance of the priests. The priest's due. All Levites who minister are entitled to like portions. The abominations of the Canaanites to be avoided. A Prophet to arise, like unto Moses, who must be hearkened unto. The presumptuous prophet must be put to death. How he may be known.
Deuteronomy 18
Preface - An exhortation to praise God, to seek him, and remember his works. His providence over Abraham, over Joseph, over Israel in Egypt, which he plagued for their sake; and over his people brought out of Egypt, fed in the wilderness, and planted in Canaan.
Psalms 105



Daily Light - Morning
Abide in me, and I in you.

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.... O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from  the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. - If Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. - If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard.

Little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. - He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
Jn. 15.4; Ga. 2.20
Ro. 7.18,24-25; Ro. 8.10; Col. 1.23
1 Jn. 2.28; 1 Jn. 2.6




Daily Light - Evening
Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?

The brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person. - The blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man cann approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. - I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Lord, I believe. - I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious.
Jn. 9.35; Jn. 9.36
He. 1.3; 1 Tim. 6.15-16; Rev. 1.8

A Puritans Catechism
Q 51 - How is the sabbath to be sanctified?
A - The sabbath is to be sanctified by a holy resting all that day, even from such worldly employments and recreations as are lawful on other days; and spending the whole time in the public and private exercises of God's worship, except so much as is to be taken up in the works of necessity and mercy.



The 1689
Baptist Confession of Faith
Of Christian Liberty and Liberty of Conscience
Chapter 21
PARAGRAPH 1
​
The liberty which Christ has purchased for believers under the gospel, consists in their freedom from the guilt of sin, the condemning wrath of God, the severity and curse of the law,  (1)  and in their being delivered from this present evil world,  (2)  bondage to Satan,  (3)  and dominion of sin,  (4)  from the evil of afflictions,  (5)  the fear and sting of death, the victory of the grave,  (6)  and everlasting damnation:  (7)  as also in their free access to God, and their yielding obedience unto Him, not out of slavish fear,  (8)  but a child-like love and willing mind.  (9)  All which were common also to believers under the law for the substance of them;  (10)  but under the New Testament the liberty of Christians is further enlarged, in their freedom from the yoke of a ceremonial law, to which the Jewish church was subjected, and in greater boldness of access to the throne of grace, and in fuller communications of the free Spirit of God, than believers under the law did ordinarily partake of.  (11)
(1)-Gal. 3.13  (2)-Gal. 1.4  (3)  Acts 26,18  (4)-Rom. 8.3  (5)-Rom. 8.28  (6)-1 Cor. 15.54-57  (7)-2 Thess. 1.10  (8)-Rom. 8.15  (9)-Luke 1.73-75; 1 John 4.18  (10)-Gal. 3.9,14  (11)-John 7.38-39; Heb. 10.19-21

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
Conversion
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
Acts 3 v 19

The conversion of a soul is by far the most remarkable event in the history of the world, although many of you do not care about it. It is the object that attracts the eyes of the holy angels to the spot where it takes place. It is the object which the Father's eye rests upon with tenderness and delight. This work in the soul is what brings greater glory to the Father, Son, and Spirit, than all the other works of God. It is far more wonderful than all the works of art. There is nothing that can equal it. Ah! brethren, if you think little of it, or laugh at it, how little have you of the mind of God.
