Daily Prayer - Wednesday
Wednesday
- Give thanks to God for the Bible, its inspiration and preservation for us to read it today. (2 Timothy 3.16, Proverbs 30.5.)
- Give thanks to God that we have easy access to Scripture in English, in our mother tongue. Pray for those without access to the bible because it is forbidden or not available.
- Pray the Lord would bless us as we study the Bible through the ministry this coming year. That as we work through a book of the Bible, that the Lord would continue to help us to grasp God's truth.
- Pray for the lunchtime outreach service and those who attend; pray that more from the offices nearby and Christians who commute are able to join us.

Daily Light - Morning
The ark of the covenant of the LORD
went before them...
to search out a resting place for them.

My times are in thy hand. - He shall choose our inheritance for us. - Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness....make thy way straight before my face.

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shalt bring it to pass. - In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. - Thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. - Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. - Your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. - Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Daily Light - Evening
Rabbi (which is to say....Master,)
where dwellest thou?
He saith unto them, Come and see.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. - To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne.

Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Behold, I stand at the door, adn knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. - How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
Jn. 1.38-39; Jn. 14.2-3; Rev. 3.21
Isa. 57.15

Chapter 5
PARAGRAPH 6

​As for those wicked and ungodly men whom God, as the righteous judge, for former sin does blind and harden;  (17)  from them He not only withholds His grace, whereby they might have been enlightened in their understanding, and wrought upon their hearts;  (18)  but sometimes also withdraws the gifts which they had,  (19)  and exposes them to such object as their corruption makes occasion of sin;  (20)  and withal, gives them over to their own lusts, the temptations of the world, and the power of Satan,  (21)  whereby it comes to pass that they harden themselves, under those means which God uses for the softening of others.  (22)
17)  Rom. 1:24-26,28, 11:7-8
18)  Deut. 29:4
19)  Matt. 13:12
20)  Deut. 2:30; 2 Kings 8:12-13
21)  Ps. 81:11,12; 2 Thess. 2:10-12
22)  Exod. 8:15,32; Isa. 6:9-10; 1 Pet. 2:7-8



Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
Christ gave His life
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
John 10 v 11
​
Jacob was a good shepherd to Laban. You remember his care of the sheep; he says, 'That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.' etc., (Gen. 31 vs 39-40). But he did not give his life for the sheep. David was a good shepherd. You remember when a lion and a bear came and took away the sheep, that he went after it and rescued it, and slew both the lion and the bear; (1 Samuel 17 v. 35). But David did not give his life for the sheep; but Christ gave His life. The sentence was written against the sheep, 'Thou shalt die,' - Christ came between and died for them.
