Daily Reading Plan - First Year 11) Preface - Jehoash, saved by Jehosheba his aunt from the general massacre of the royal family of Judah by Athaliah, is concealed six years in the house of the Lord. In the seventh year Jehoiada the high priest, having taken measures for his security, bringeth him forth, and crowneth him. Athaliah pressing forward into the temple is seized and slain. Jehoiada restoreth the worship of God, abolisheth that of Baal, and fixeth the king on his throne to the great joy of the people. 12) Preface - Jehoash reigneth well so long as Jehoiada liveth. The repair of the house of the Lord having been first left to the priests, and neglected Jehoash provideth more effectually for it. Hazael is diverted from his design against Jerusalem by a prest out of the hallowed and royal treasures. Jehoash is slain by a conspiracy of his servants: Amaziah succeedeth him. 2 kings 11-12 Preface - Timothy is exhorted to constancy and perseverance in the discharge of his duty, as a good soldier of Christ, looking for a certain reward of his fatigues and sufferings; to divide the word of truth righteously, and to shun profane and vain babblings. The dangerous error of Hymenaeus and Philetus. the foundation of God standeth sure. Of vessels honourable and dishonourable. Timothy is taught what to flee and what to follow, and how the servant of Christ must behave toward all men. 2 Timothy 2 Daily Light - Morning It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? - I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. Shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. - Wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee. - Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD. Let us not be weary in well doing....in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. - Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Lam. 3.26; Ps. 77.9; Ps. 31.22 Lu. 18.7-8; Pro. 20.22; Ps. 37.7 2 Chr. 20.17 Ga. 6.9; Jas. 5.7 Daily Light - Evening It is the spirit that quickeneth. The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. - That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. - Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost. If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 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. - Reckon ye....yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesu Christ our Lord. Jn. 6.63; 1 Co. 15.45; Jn. 3.6; Titus 3.5 Ro. 8.9-11 Ga. 2.20; Ro. 6.11 A Puritans Catechism Q 70 - What is repentance unto life? A - Repentance unto life is a saving grace, whereby a sinner, out of a true sense of his sin, and apprehension of the mercy of God in Christ, does with grief and hatred of his sin, turn from it unto God, with full purpose to strive after new obedience. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of God's Covenant Chapter 7 PARAGRAPH 2 Moreover, man having brought himself under the curse of the law by his fall, it pleased the Lord to make a covenant of grace, 2 wherein He freely offers unto sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ, requiring of them faith in Him, that they may be saved; 3 and promising to give unto all those that are ordained unto eternal life, His Holy Spirit, to make them willing and able to believe. 4 2 Gen. 2:17; Gal. 3:10; Rom. 3:20–21 3 Rom. 8:3; Mark 16:15–16; John 3:16 4 Ezek. 36:26–27; John 6:44–45; Ps. 110:3 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings The chief beauty in Christ I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. John 10 v 11 This is the chief beauty in Christ. The wounds that marred His fair body make Him altogether lovely in a needy sinner's eye. All that are now and ever shall be the sheep of Christ, were once condemned to die. The wrath of God abode upon them. They were ready to drop into the burning lake. Jesus had compassion upon them, left His Father's bosom, emptied Himself, became a worm and no man, and died under the sins of many. 'While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' This is the grace of the Lord Jesus. Every one in the flock can say, 'He loved me, and gave Himself for me.
