daily reading 51.4

5-day-a-week chronological through-the-whole Bible in 2012

First pray:

O Lord, how shall I meet You, how welcome you aright?
Your people long to greet You, my Hope, my heart’s Delight!
O kindle, Lord most holy, a lamp within my breast,
To do in spirit lowly all that may please You best.

Love caused Your incarnation, love brought You down to me;
Your thirst for my salvation procured my liberty.
O love beyond all telling, that led you to embrace
In love all loves excelling our lost and fallen race. Amen.

1 John

Lastly, ponder:

• For what does this lead me to thank God?
• What does this lead me to confess to God?
• For what does this lead me to ask God?
• What does this lead me to do?
