Description

There are many resource books available to assist in the study of these passages. Bible study notebooks, books on ways to study different types of biblical literature, Bible dictionaries, and commentaries will all add to your knowledge of the Bible and its meaning in your life. The practice of having a Biblical text as a shared daily "Watchword" among the inhabitants at Herrnhut began in 1722. At that time it was taken house to house by word of mouth, to serve as a common guide to meditation and conduct. This is how it was for eight years until, for 1731, a series of texts was printed for the full year, with the texts supplemented by hymn verses. So began the tradition which is continued in this the 293rd edition. The Old Testament texts are chosen by lot and a New Testament text is then added. This process takes place annually in Herrnhut, on behalf of the world-wide Unitas Fratrum, and from there the texts are distributed to each Province, to be reproduced in a form suited to local needs. Translated into more than fifty languages, the Text Book continues to be used and appreciated far beyond the membership of the Moravian Church, we as Moravians regard this wider ministry as a God-given privilege, for which we praise and glorify His holy Name.

It is our prayer that users of this book will find that its contents speak to them in their situation, and that they may be guided to a fuller knowledge of the Bible that offers ever-increasing enrichment to their lives. May the sense of unity with so many others in the world, provided by the daily texts that are common to all editions, nourish our feeling of fellowship with the whole family of God, however the daily pattern of life varies around the world. PRAYER: A response to God of praise, confession, thanksgiving, or intercession in light of the texts and hymn verses.

This is the 293rd edition of 'Daily Watchwords' or 'Moravian Textbook'

The Daily Texts is a daily devotional guide published yearly since 1731. It is the oldest such guide in continuous use. Begun in Germany as a daily oral tradition, it soon became a regularly printed set of texts for each day of the year. Thanksgiving: Thanks, not just for daily bread and support, but for all God’s gifts through Jesus Christ. The printed texts, hymn verses, and prayers are the heart of the devotional guide. Their purpose is to help the reader get more closely in touch with God and to meditate upon the Word of God. WATCHWORD FOR THE DAY: From the Old Testament, the first printed text. It is to be a “watchword” to accompany you throughout the day. Usually a promise, encouragement, admonition, or comfort.

These texts can be the center of a daily spiritual diary where you keep a journal of your daily meditations and their meaning in your life. Imagine sharing the same devotional with 1.5 million believers in more than 50 languages around the globe. The Moravian Daily Texts has been living this ecumenical dream for many years! Private devotion and prayer are the times that we converse and respond to God and allow God to speak to us in life. These times should include:The strength of the Daily Texts lies in presenting the Scripture unhindered by commentary or illustration. The texts are left to stand alone and to speak to each reader in his or her life. This also allows the Daily Texts to be adaptable to different patterns of devotion and study.
