Welcome to this week's Daily Bread. We're looking forward to diving into God's Word together. Below you'll find a range of resources designed to help you get the most out of this week's readings. You'll need this email each day for the different content. Alternatively, you can access all the new and previous content by going to the Daily Bread Website.
Monday Meditation
Mondays are about making time not just to read but to prayerfully think and consider the Scripture you're reading. Read through it a few times, slowly and ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you.
Trumpet Tuesday
Tuesday's focus is on the major prophets in the Scripture. Full of imagery, promises and challenge. The context of prophetic writing is very important. Understanding who they were writing to and what was happening to God's people at the time will help us to apply these writings today.
Wednesday Wisdom
The book of James tells us that if any of us lack wisdom we can ask for it and God will give it to us. As we read the wisdom literature in the Bible let's trust God is going to teach us what His wisdom looks like.
Thanksgiving Thursday
The Psalms are full of human emotion, some full of rejoicing and joy, others confusion and questions. All of them agree though, whatever the circumstances, God must be praised! Let's join our voices with the psalmists on these days to praise whatever our circumstances.
Friday Feast
The practice of reading big chunks of Scripture is really helpful when understanding the context of what is happening in the stories. If finding time to read all of this in one go is difficult maybe break it into a smaller times of reading through the day.
Pause and Ponder - The book of Nehemiah is a riveting story about a leader who responded to a crisis - the broken down walls of Jerusalem - and left a safe job in the palace to do something about it! He led the people, despite opposition, to not only rebuild the walls but rededicate themselves to God. It’s an inspiring story with prayer, perseverance, and practical wisdom at its heart. The people caught Nehemiah’s vision and decided they would no longer neglect the city and the house of God. Ordinary people rebuilt the walls near where they lived (3:28) they took responsibility even if it meant endangering their own lives (4:16-18).
Where in our villages and towns do we need to take a stand and rebuild faith and hope? Who can we reach out to in our streets with the Good News that God cares for them in their brokenness? - Hilary Dalziel, LRC Market Harborough

Simple Sunday
For centuries Scripture has been predominantly read amongst families and community. In recent times reading the Bible and praying has gained a more personal focus. On these days where possible, why not read these Scriptures out loud and with others? Pray and reflect on God's Word together.
