2CHRONICLES 6:
Yesterday we heard of the various things that
Huram-abi made under Solomon’s direction for the temple, and of the
dedication of the temple. In today’s (not reverent) language, we
might say that the Lord ‘showed up’ for that dedication, just like
He did for the dedication of the tabernacle.
PROVERBS 27b:
Our
hightlighted verse for today:
Pro.
27:21 NLT Fire tests the
purity of silver and gold,
but
a person is tested by being praised.]
MATTHEW 10a:
Many
stories were brought together by Matthew in chapter 9, including
the calling of Matthew— who is most likely the writer of this book.
Note that opposition is ramping up against Jesus from the religious
teachers and the Pharisees. Like at the end of John 4, Jesus spoke
of the need for God to send workers into the spiritual
harvest.
