Friday 11 September
Reading: Exodus 14:1-18
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal Zephon. Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.’ And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them. But I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” So the Israelites did this.
When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, “What have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their services!” So he had his chariot made ready and took his army with him. He took six hundred of the best chariots, along with all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them. The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out boldly. The Egyptians—all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots, horsemen and troops—pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they camped by the sea near Pi Hahiroth, opposite Baal Zephon.
As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried out to the Lord. They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? Didn’t we say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!”
Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.”

Prayer
God of deliverance,�When I feel trapped between what pursues me and what blocks the way ahead, keep me from despair. Quiet the voice of fear and help me trust that you are present, even when I cannot yet see a path. Give me courage to stand firm, wisdom to recognise your leading, and faith to move when you open the way. Be glorified in my weakness, and lead me from fear into freedom.�Amen.

Thursday 10 September
Reading: Psalm 103:8-13
The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse, nor will he harbour his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;

Prayer
Compassionate Father,�You are merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. Thank you for not treating me as my failures deserve. As far as the east is from the west, remove my sins and release me from the burdens of guilt and regret. As a loving parent has compassion for a child, hold me tenderly today. Help me extend to others the patience, mercy, and forgiveness I have received from you.�Amen.

Wednesday 9 September
Reading: 1 Peter 2:11-17
Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honour the emperor.

Prayer
Holy God,�In a world of competing desires, help me resist everything that diminishes the soul. Make my conduct honourable, my freedom generous, and my words gracious. Teach me to honour everyone, love your people, respect rightful authority, and stand in reverent awe of you. May my life answer suspicion with goodness and hostility with faithful love, so that others may glimpse your beauty through me.�Amen.

Tuesday 8 September
Reading: Romans 13:1-7
Submission to Governing Authorities
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.
This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honour, then honour.

Prayer
Lord of justice and peace,�Teach me to live responsibly within my community, respecting those entrusted with authority while remembering that all authority is accountable to you. Keep me from fear, resentment, and careless judgement. Help me fulfil the law of love: to seek my neighbour’s good, to cause no harm, and to live honourably in the light. Clothe me with the character of Jesus Christ, so that my choices today may reflect his grace and truth.�Amen.

Monday 7 September
Reading: Psalm 121
A song of ascents.
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

Prayer
Faithful God,�I lift my eyes to you, for my help comes from you, the Maker of heaven and earth. Watch over my going out and my coming in today. When the way feels uncertain, steady my steps; when I grow weary, remind me that you neither slumber nor sleep. Shelter me from harm and keep my heart secure in your loving care, now and always.�Amen.

Sunday 6 September
Reading: Matthew 18:15-20
“If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
“Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

Prayer
Lord Jesus,
thank you for the gift of your Church
and for the promise that when we gather in your name, you are among us.
Help us to be a community where relationships matter,
where disagreements are handled with grace,
where forgiveness is offered
and where broken relationships can be restored.
As we worship today,
draw us closer to you and to one another.
May our life together show the world
the reconciling love of Jesus.
Amen.

Saturday 5 September
Reading: Romans 13:8-14
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbour as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbour. Therefore love is the fulfilment of the law.
And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armour of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.

Prayer
Lord Jesus,
you have loved me with a love I could never earn or repay.
Help me to share that love freely today.
Make me patient with difficult people,
generous towards those who need help
and quick to forgive when I am hurt.
Show me where my attitudes or actions need to change.
Help me to put aside what belongs to darkness
and to live openly, honestly and graciously,
clothed with the character of Christ.
Amen.

Friday 4 September
Reading: Psalm 149.1-5
Praise the Lord.
Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.
Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in their King.
Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp.
For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.
Let his faithful people rejoice in this honour and sing for joy on their beds.

Prayer
Gracious God,
today I choose to praise you.
Thank you for the ordinary blessings I so easily overlook:
for people who care, work to do, food to eat,
beauty to enjoy and moments that make me smile.
When life is difficult, remind me that praise does not deny the struggles;
it remembers that the struggles are not the whole story.
Put a new song in my heart today
and help me to notice reasons for joy.
Amen.

Thursday 3 September
Reading: Romans 10:15-17
And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

Prayer
Lord Jesus,
thank you for those who shared the good news of your love with me.
Give me opportunities today to pass that good news on—
not only through what I say,
but through kindness, patience, generosity and hope.
Help me never to be embarrassed by my faith
or careless in the way I represent you.
May something in my life today
help another person see that you are good
and that your grace is for them too.
Amen.

Reading: Psalm 119:33-40
ה He
Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end.
Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law and obey it with all my heart.
Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.
Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain.
Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.
Fulfil your promise to your servant, so that you may be feared.
Take away the disgrace I dread, for your laws are good.
How I long for your precepts! In your righteousness preserve my life.

Prayer
Lord,
there are so many things competing for my attention
and so many voices telling me what matters most.
Turn my heart towards you.
Teach me what is good, true and lasting.
Keep me from chasing things that promise much but leave me empty.
Give me a desire for your Word
and the courage to shape my choices by it.
Lead me today in your way,
the way that gives life.
Amen.
