‘TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING;

PROVERBS 3:5-6

‘TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING;

IN ALL WAYS SUBMIT TO HIM, AND HE WILL MAKE YOUR PATHS STRAIGHT.’

PROVERBS 3:5-6

Dear friends,

It has been wonderful to hear how so many in the church family have found the Daily Bible Reading booklet a helpful tool as we have fed on God’s Word together over the past year. We are particularly thrilled at how well received Timothy Keller’s devotional guide, ‘My Rock, My Refuge’ has been as an accompaniment to our daily readings in the Psalms.

This being so, we have produced a new Daily Bible Reading booklet for 2020, along similar lines to last year. Rather than reading through the Psalms, this year the first column of readings will help us to explore the book of Proverbs. This column reflects the breakdown of Proverbs passages found in another of Keller’s superb devotional books, The Way of Wisdom. We would very much encourage you to read this book alongside your daily readings. The second column again takes us all the way through the New Testament in a year. Each of the readings are deliberately kept short, so that we can enjoy the richness of God’s Word day by day.

We pray that 2020 will be a year during which we delight to sit humbly under God’s Word, in order that we might know Him better and grow in our love for, and likeness to, the Lord Jesus.

With our best wishes, in Christ,

Mark Lawrence, Gareth Mitchell and Ross Wilkinson
