Daily Readings for Wednesday 27 May 2026

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 Reading Plan - Second Year
Preface - Ephraim threatened for pride and drunkenness. God will be the glory and strength of the residue. They are reproved for their excess, and carnal security. Christ, the sure foundation, promised. The security of the scorners shall end in destruction. The wisdom of God's providence is seen in the discreet labours of the husbandman.
Isaiah 28
Preface - The apostle testifieth his regard and good wishes for a certain pious matron and her children, and his joy in their good behaviour: he exhorteth them to persevere in Christian love and belief, that they lose not their full reward: and to have nothing to do with those seducers that bring not the true doctrine of Christ. He hopeth to see them shortly, and concludeth with salutations.
2 John 



Daily Light - Morning
The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble;
and he knoweth them that trust in him.

Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. - God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. - I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust - Who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! - As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?

If any man love God, the same is known of him. - The foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. - The LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. - THou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
Na. 1.7; Jer. 33.11 Ps. 46.1; Ps. 91.2; Deu. 33.29; 2 Sa. 22.31-32
1 Co. 8.3; 2 Tim. 2.19; Ps. 1.6; Ex. 33.17

Daily Light - Evening
I would have you without carefulness.

He careth for you. - The eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him... The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any god thing. - Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? - Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
1 Co. 7.32; 1 Pe. 5.7; 2 Chr. 16.9
​Ps. 34.8,10; Mt. 6.25-26; Phil. 4.6-7


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 anxious Christ
Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
John 6 V 67
​
When the crowd went away He did not cry after them - His soul was grieved, but He spoke not a word; but when His own believing disciples were in danger of being led away, He speaks to them: 'Will ye also go away?' - ye whom I have chosen - ye whom I have washed - ye whom I have sanctified and filled with hopes of glory - 'Will ye also go away?' Oh! see, Christians, how anxiously Christ watches over you. He is walking in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, and His word is: 'I know thy works'. He watches the first decaying of the first love. He speaks aloud: 'Will ye also go away?'
