Daily Reading Plan - First Year
Preface - Directions what the Israelites are to offer for the making of the tabernacle. The form of the ark. The mercy seat with the cherubims. The table with its furniture and shewbread. The candlestick with the instruments thereof.
Exodus 25
Preface - Christ talketh with a woman of Samaria, and revealeth himself unto her: his disciples marvel; the woman calleth the men of her city to see him: Christ sheweth his own zeal to do God's work, and the blessedness of his disciples, who were to reap the fruit of his labours. Many Samaritans believe on him. He goeth into Galilee, and healeth a nobleman's son who lay sick at Capernaum.
John 4



​
Daily Light - Morning
Adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour
in all things.

Let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ. - Abstain from all appearance of evil. - If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye.... But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. - Be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world. - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: so shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. - Brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Titus 2.10; Phil. 1.27; 1 Th. 5.22; 1 Pe. 4.14,15; Phil. 2.15; Mt. 5.16
Pro. 3.3-4; Phil. 4.8



Daily Light - Evening
The words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit, and they are life.

Or his own will begat he us with the sword of truth. - The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

Christ....loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing.

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. - Thy word hath quickened me. - Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against hee.... I will not forget thy word.... I trust in thy word.... The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.... I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.... How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through  thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
Jn. 6.63; Jas. 1.18; 2 Co. 3.6
Eph. 5.25-27
​Ps. 119.9; Ps. 119.50; Ps. 119.11,16,42,72,93,103-104

The 1689
Baptist Confession of Faith
Of the Holy Scriptures
Chapter 1
PARAGRAPH 9
​
The infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture is the Scripture itself; and therefore when there is a question about the true and full sense of my Scripture (which are not many, but one), it must be searched by other places that speak more clearly.  (20)
(20)  2 Pet 1.20-21; Acts 15.15-16



Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
No condemnation
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Romans 8 v 34

Paul looks round all the judges of the world - all who are skilled in law and equity; he looks upward to the holy angels, whose superhuman sight pierces deep and far into the righteous government of God; he looks up to God, the judge of all, who must do right - whose ways are equal and perfect righteousness - and he asked, 'Who shall condemn? It is Christ that died.' Christ has paid the uttermost farthing: so that every judge must cry out, 'There is therefore now no condemnation.'
