The Moravian Daily Texts
A practice that began in 1728, when Count Zinzendorf, the leader of the Renewed Moravian Church started selecting a Daily Watchword from the Old Testament, and later added a New Testament text to match. It was read to the community each day for them to ponder and pray upon. They began to be published for the whole year starting in 1731, and each text has always been paired with a hymn stanza. When Zinzendorf entered into the nearer presence of His Savior in 1760, a committee took up this responsibility of selecting texts. In Herrnhut Germany, where the Renewed Moravian Church began, this practice continues to this day, and is printed in 50 different languages to be distributed around the world. Each entry ends with a prayer written by someone in the Worldwide Unity. This daily devotion serves thousands around the globe.
