The center column contains the day of the month. The first two columns contain the chapters to be read in the family. The last two columns contain the portions to be read in secret.2. The head of the family should previously read over the chapter indicated for the family worship and mark two or three of the most prominent verses upon which he may dwell, giving a few explanatory thoughts, and asking several simple questions.3. The portion read, both for family and private reading, would be greatly illuminated if they were preceded by a moment's silent prayer: "Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law" (Psalm 119:18).4. Let the conversation at the family meals frequently turn upon the chapter read; thus every meal will be a sacrament, being sanctified by the Word and prayer.5. Let our private reading precede the dawning of the day. Let God's voice be the first we hear in the morning. Mark two or three of the richest verses and pray over every word and line of them.6. Above all, use the Word as a lamp to your feet and a light to your path - your guide in perplexity, your armour in temptation, your food in times of faintness.---Robert Murray M'Cheyne – (1813-1843) was born on May 21, 1813, in Edinburgh, Scotland. He was licensed to preach at the age of twenty-two, ordained to the pastorate of St. Peter's Church, Dundee Scotland, at twenty-three, and died six years later.M'Cheyne left notes of only some 300 sermons when he died in 1843, but his own counsel to a fellow minister explains why these sermons brought such abundant blessing, not only to 'the noisy mechanics and political weavers' of Dundee but, later, to all parts of the English- speaking world:"Get your texts from God - your thoughts, your words, from God... It is not great talents God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus. A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God. A word spoken by you when your conscience is clear, and your heart full of God's Spirit, is worth ten thousand words spoken in unbelief and sin."M'Cheyne rarely preached outside his native land. He wrote no books and was extremely frail in health. However, the impact of the "prophet of Dundee," as he was known, lives on to this day. History records that the entire land of Scotland was shaken by him, and at his death, it wept.
