M’Cheyne Bible Reading Plan
10 ¶ Then Samuel took a vial of oil and poured it upon his head and kissed him and said, Is it not because the LORD has anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?
2 When thou art departed from me today, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel’s sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah, and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou didst go to seek are found, and thy father has left the care of the asses and sorrows for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
3 Then shalt thou go on forward from there, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and three men going up to God to Bethel shall meet thee, one carrying three kids and another carrying three loaves of bread and another carrying a bottle of wine.
4 And they will salute thee and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands.
5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God where the garrison of the Philistines is, and it shall come to pass when thou art come there to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery and a tambourine and a pipe and a harp before them; and they shall prophesy.
6 And the Spirit of the LORD will prosper thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them and shalt be turned into another man.
7 And let it be when these signs are come unto thee that thou do according as thou shalt find at hand, for God is with thee.
8 And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal, and, behold, I will come down unto thee to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings. Seven days shalt thou tarry until I come to thee and show thee what thou shalt do.
9 ¶ And it was so that when he had turned his shoulder to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart, and all those signs came to pass that day.
10 And when they came there to the hill, behold, the company of prophets met him, and the Spirit of God prospered him, and he prophesied among them.
11 And it came to pass when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
12 And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore, it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
13 And he ceased prophesying and came to the high place.
14 And Saul’s uncle said unto him and to his servant, Where went ye? And he said, To seek the asses, and when we saw that they were nowhere, we came to Samuel.
15 And Saul’s uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.
16 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he did not tell him.
17 ¶ And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh
18 and said unto the sons of Israel, Thus hath the LORD God of Israel said, I brought up Israel out of Egypt and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of all kingdoms and of those that oppressed you.
19 But ye have this day rejected your God, who saves you out of all your afflictions and your troubles, and ye have said unto him, No, but set a king over us. Now, therefore, present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and by your thousands.
20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their lineages, the family of Matri was taken, and from it Saul the son of Kish was taken, and when they sought him, he could not be found.
22 Therefore, they enquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come there. And the LORD answered, Behold, he has hid himself among the stuff.
23 And they ran and took him from there, and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted and said, Long live the king.
25 Then Samuel recited unto the people the rights of the kingdom and wrote it in a book and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, each one to his house.
26 And Saul also went home to Gibeah, and there went with him some from the army, whose hearts God had touched.
27 But the sons of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him and brought him no presents. But he pretended not to notice.
8 ¶ So that now, there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ, Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ, Jesus, has made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For that which was impossible to the law, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh
4 that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
5 For those that are according to the flesh know the things that are of the flesh; but those that are according to the Spirit, the things that are of the Spirit.
6 For the prudence of the flesh is death, but the prudence of the Spirit, life and peace,
7 because the prudence of the flesh is enmity against God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, neither indeed can it.
8 So then, those that are carnal cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, because the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, that person is not of him.
10 ¶ But if Christ is in you, the body is truly dead because of sin, but the Spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11 And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised up the Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
13 For if ye live according to the flesh, ye shall die; but if through the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For all that are led by the Spirit of God, the same are sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of slavery to be in fear again, but ye have received the Spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 For the same Spirit bears witness unto our spirit that we are sons of God,
17 ¶ and if sons, also heirs certainly of God and joint-heirs with Christ, if so be that we suffer with him that we may be also glorified together with him.
18 For I know with certainty that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory which shall be manifested in us.
19 For the earnest hope of the creatures waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creatures were subjected to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected them,
21 with the hope that the same creatures shall be delivered from the slavery of corruption into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.
22 For we now know that all the creatures groan together and travail in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, that is to say, the redemption of our body.
24 For in hope we are saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for what a man sees, he does not wait for.
25 But if we wait for that which we do not see, with patience we wait for it.
26 ¶ And likewise also the Spirit helps our weakness; for we know not how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself makes entreaty for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 But he that searches the hearts knows what is the desire of the Spirit, that according to the will of God, he makes entreaty for the saints.
28 And we now know that unto those who love God, all things help them unto good, to those who according to the purpose are called to be saints.
29 ¶ For unto those who he knew beforehand, he also marked out beforehand the way that they might be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 And unto those whom he did mark out beforehand the way, to these he also called; and to whom he called, these he also justified; and to whom he justified, these he also glorified.
31 ¶ What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who shall be against us?
32 He that did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also give us all things with him?
33 Who shall accuse the chosen of God’s? God is he that justifies them.
34 Who is he that condemns them? Christ, Jesus, is he who died and, even more, he that also rose again, who furthermore is at the right hand of God, who also makes entreaty for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the charity of Christ? shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?
36 (As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.)
37 Nevertheless, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 Therefore I am certain that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come
39 nor height nor depth nor any creature shall be able to separate us from the charity of God, which is in Christ, Jesus our Lord.
47 ¶ The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Palestinians, before Pharaoh smote Gaza.
2 Thus hath the LORD said: Behold, waters rise up out of the north and shall be an overflowing flood and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the cities and those that dwell therein; then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.
3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;
4 because of the day that comes to destroy all the Palestinians, and to cut off from Tyre and Zidon every helper that remains: for the LORD will destroy the Palestinians, the remnant of the island of Caphtor.
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
6 O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
7 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD has given it a charge against Ashkelon and against the sea shore? there has he appointed it.
A Psalm of David.
1 ¶ The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff shall comfort me.
5 Thou shalt prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup is running over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will rest in the house of the LORD for ever.
A Psalm of David.
1 ¶ The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein.
2 For he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.
3 ¶ Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in the place of his holiness?
4 He that has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not taken my name in vain, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his saving health.
6 This is the generation of those that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
7 ¶ Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of the hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
