In the morning let us prepare for the new day with the words of the New Testament and in the evening let us reflect on how God moves in the lives of his people.

Morning Reading from the New Testament: Mark 6: 33-56

He sent the twelve out to preach. Herod executed John the Baptist. Jesus fed 5,000 men. He came to the disciples walking on the sea.

Evening Reading from the Old Testament: Numbers 16-17

Korah, Dathan and Abiram rose against Moses and Aaron. Moses said, “The LORD will choose.” The ground swallowed up those with Korah.

The LORD told Moses to bring a staff from each tribal leader to the Tent of Meeting to stop the grumbling. Aaron’s staff blossomed.
