Daily Scripture Readings
Read along with us in community as we follow this daily scripture outline.
Sunday November 17th
Daniel 12:1-3
Psalm 16
Hebrews 10:11-25
Mark 13:1-8
Jesus is the only one who can intercede for us to the Father. He is able to do this because of His perfect life and sacrifice. He cleanses us from all unrighteousness so that we can draw near to God. We must not allow ourselves to be deceived or distracted by the
things of this world, but hold tightly to Christ who will lead us from the evil of this world into the light of God’s glorious life. May we trust and obey at all times and in every way. Amen.
Monday November 18th
Daniel 8:1-14
Psalm 13
Hebrews 10:26-31
God cannot spare those who do not repent and reject His commands. Augustine put it this way, “God created us without us, but He did not will to save us without us.” Once we hear and know the truth, we must continue in it. Outside of the truth, there is punishment
and separation from God. In Christ, we have the Way, the Truth and the Life, all who trust and obey Him will be saved. May we ever turn toward Christ in reverence and love. Amen.
Tuesday November 19th
Daniel 8:15-27
Psalm 13
Hebrews 10:32-39
Faith by its nature, perseveres. Otherwise it could not be called faith. Those who have faith are then necessarily those who withstand trials and yet remain faithful. Daniel endured trials, temptation, and exile, and when given revelation that was too much to fathom, carried on in faith. May we be those who cling to faith though the storms of life.
Wednesday November 20th
Zechariah 12:1-13
Psalm 13
Mark 13:9-23
Although punishment fell on Jerusalem, God preserved from within her, those that would be spared. The punishment due to us was likewise borne by Christ, but for those of us who place our faith in Him, there is safety from harm. We must not be led astray by
those who claim any other gospel than Christ’s own, lest we too be bound for calamity too.
Thursday November 21st
Ezekiel 28:1-10
Psalm 93
Acts 7:54-8:1
“At this they covered their ears,” is what Luke the writers of Acts records the members of the Sanhedrin doing. The Sanhedrin were the rulers over the Jewish community, yet in their pride shut out the truth of Stephen’s witness to Christ. Like the kings Tyre thought that they were “a god” and that they were wise. Instead of listening, their pride
and hatred sought to kill that which opposed them. God punishes those that resist and harm His servants, but it is in His hands to deal justice. We speak the truth in love for peace.
Friday November 22nd
Ezekiel 28:20-26
Psalm 93
1 Corinthians 15:20-28
Part of Christ’s work isn’t just to forgive sins and give life to those who believe, but
to rule over all things. This includes bringing justice against the enemies of God and His
people. In doing justice it will be made clear to both those He rules and the unjust, who
alone is God. In God’s becoming King over all, holding all dominion and power, He will
finally crush death completely so that the Son and all that belong to Him might have life
everlasting. To this end we continually live, worship and pray to God. All glory be to God.
Saturday November 23rd
Daniel 7:1-8, 15-18
Psalm 93
John 3:31-36
Those who place their trust and follow Jesus are heirs to the kingdom. Although
earthly kingdoms may rise, the Lord Jesus Christ has been given everything by the Father.
That is why Daniel says “But the holy people of the Most High will receive the kingdom and
will possess it forever—yes, for ever and ever”. Praise Jesus in whom we have life forever.
