OUR DAILY BREAD DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
Our Daily Bread for today is here. Give us this day our daily bread (Matthew 6:11).
The word of God is food to the spirit man. “Eat and digest” the word of the Lord for today and let its unchanging power nuture your faith and help in your daily walk to Christ.
The Topic of Our Daily Bread For 24th June 2025 is “The God Who Rescues”
Bible in a Year: Job 1-2, Acts 7:22-43
Memory Verse: Jeremiah 23:3
I myself will gather the remnant of my flock . . . and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number.
Today’s Scripture & Insight: Jeremiah 23:1-8
When describing the coming king who would shepherd God’s people in the way their corrupt leaders hadn’t (Jeremiah 23:1), Jeremiah said this king would be called “The Lord Our Righteous Saviour” (v. 6). In Hebrew, this title is very similar to the name Zedekiah, the last king of Judah (52:1), which means, “Yah(weh) is righteousness.” This name suggested Zedekiah was meant to be a king who’d rule in a way that reflected God’s justice. But King Zedekiah utterly failed his people, disobeying God’s instructions with severe consequences (vv. 1-3). So Jeremiah emphasised that despite’s Zedekiah’s failures, God would enact justice and rescue for His people through the promised coming king.

ODB MESSAGE FOR TODAY
Beneath the rugged cliffs of Brora, Scotland, a sheep needed rescue. Trapped at the base of a cliff, surrounded by steep and unyielding rock on one side and the vast ocean on the other, the sheep had been on its own for two long years. Despite several rescue attempts, no one could reach her until a determined farmer named Cammy Wilson and four friends successfully executed a risky rescue mission. Three members of the team carefully descended nearly 820 feet down the cliff to get her, using a winch and a lot of courage to lift her out of her predicament.
The determined and sympathetic farmer and team reflect the compassion of our loving Father as depicted in Jeremiah 23:1-3. The prophet denounced Judah’s sinful leaders as shepherds who were “destroying and scattering the sheep of [God’s] pasture!” (v. 1). God declared through Jeremiah that—due to the ruthless way they treated His helpless people—He’d “bestow punishment” on them (v. 2). He saw the plight of His scattered flock and was deeply concerned about them. Not only was God concerned, but He also said He’d lovingly regather His sheep from places of exile and bring them to a place of safety and abundance (v. 3).
When we feel lost, trapped or isolated, our heavenly Father sees our plight and won’t leave us stranded. He actively seeks to rescue and restore us.
