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.
Pause and Consider - Job is really struggling in his suffering, yes, he’s lost his perspective and has some serious questions for God but he hasn’t forgotten God as Bildad implies (8:13) as he keeps on talking to God all the time. Bildad appears to offer him hope of restoration (v20-22) but only if Job admits that it’s all his fault, which we know isn’t the case. Adding condemnation and guilt to the burdens people carry who live with loss and suffering is not helpful. - Hilary Dalziel, LRC Market Harborough
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.

Helpful Study Websites
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.
Pause and Ponder - Peter walked on water, he may not have done it for long but he did it! It was only when Peter takes his eyes off of Christ and places them onto the swirling seas around him that he begins to sink. Are there any issues in your life that you're more focused on than Christ? If faith has started to wane let's place our eyes on Him again and let Him raise us up in fresh faith. - Mike Shuter, LRC Stoney Stanton
