Daily Readings for Wednesday 11th June 2025

Daily Prayer - Wednesday
- Give thank 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 the Scripture in English, in our mother tongue.
- 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 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
He arose, and came to his father.
But when he was yet a great way off,
his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran,
and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions form us. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pirieth them that fear him.

Ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. - e who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. - Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God.
Lu. 15.20; Ps. 103.8-13
​Ro. 8.15-16; Eph. 2.13; Eph. 2.19




Daily Light - Evening
Behold, I make all things new.

Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. - If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new.

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. - Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump. - The new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

Behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. - Seeing....that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness....?
Rev. 21.5; Jn. 3.3; 2 Co. 5.17
Ezek. 36.26; 1 Co. 5.7; Eph. 4.24
Isa. 62.2
​Isa. 65.17; 2 Pe. 3.11

A Puritans Catechism
Q 49 - Which is the fourth commandment?
A - The fourth commandment is, Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservent, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.



The 1689
Baptist Confession of Faith
Of the Gospel, and of the extent of the Grace thereof
Chapter 20
PARAGRAPH 3
​
The revelation of the gospel to sinners, made in divers times and by sundry parts, with the addition of promises and precepts for the obedience required therein, as to the nations and persons to whom it is granted, is merely of the sovereign will and good pleasure of God;  (6)  not being annexed by virtue of any promise to the due improvement of men's natural abilities, by virtue of common light received without it, which none ever made, or can do so;  (7)  and therefore in all ages, the preaching of the gospel has been granted unto persons and nations, as to the extent or straitening of it, in great variety, according to the counsel of the will of God.
(6)-Ps. 147.20; Acts. 16.7  (7)-Rom.1.18-32

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
The same love
As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love,
John 15 v 9
​
The moment you become a child, the Father loves you. This is shown in what Christ said to Mary: 'I ascend unto my Father and to your Father, to my God, and your God.' Christ here intimated, that we have the same love that he had. We have not got so much of the love of the Father as Christ, because He has got an infinite capacity; but it is the same love. The sun shines as much upon the daisy as it does upon the sunflower, though the sunflower is able to contain more. Christ plainly shows you that in the 17th chapter of John, where He prays that the same love may be in us that was in Him. O how much better is it then, to be under the love of God, than under the wrath of God!
