2CHRONICLES 2-3:
In
yesterday’s reading we returned to the books of Chronicles, and
picked up the story following King David, with the beginning of
Solomon’s reign. Solomon gave 1,000 burnt offerings to the Lord,
then the Lord appeared to him. Solomon requested wisdom to rule
Israel, and the Lord was pleased with his request.
PROVERBS 26b:
Today’s highlighted verse:
Pro. 26:23 NLT Smooth words may
hide a wicked heart,
just
as a pretty glaze covers a clay pot.
MATTHEW 8:
We
completed reading the Sermon on the Mount yesterday with the
parable of building a house on sand or on a rock. Building a house
on sand is easier. But let’s be those who persevere and lay a good
foundation.
NLT Translation note:
Mat.
8:26 Jesus responded, “Why are you afraid? [Why is your
belief in me so small?//You have so little faith!]” Then he got up
and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great
calm.
