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: Luke 4:33-44

Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness. In the synagogue he read out, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me.” He healed all the sick.

Evening Reading from the Old Testament: Joshua 14-15

Judah came to Joshua. Caleb said, “Moses promised me the mountain because I obeyed the LORD fully.” So Joshua gave Hebron to Caleb.

Judah’s land bordered with Edom to the south. Caleb took Hebron, Othniel took Kiriath-sepher but Judah could not defeat Jerusalem.
