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.
Pause and Ponder - David knows how to call on God in tough times and lift up joyful worship to the Lord. He has a deep personal relationship with God. But that is grounded in worship among God’s people, even David couldn’t do this alone. Worshipping in the house of God brings a security that can’t be found in the world and gives him a foundation that’s like standing on a rock. As we gather in life groups and on Sundays on the ‘Living Rock’ let’s believe ‘The Lord gives strength to his people: the Lord blesses his people with peace.’ Ps 29:11 - Hilary Dalziel, LRC Market Harborough
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 - Chapters 25-30 detail elaborate plans for the tabernacle, its furnishings and priestly garments, so that God could dwell with His people. Hebrews 8:5-6 explains that great care had to be taken to follow the instructions exactly because this impressive tabernacle was but a shadow of the far greater things to come. Greater things which we now enjoy! See also Hebrews 9:11-14, 10:19-22. - Sharon Chapman, 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.
