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 9: 1-36

Jesus sent out the twelve. He fed 5,000 men. Peter said, “You are the Christ.” Jesus said, “Take up your cross.” He was transfigured.

Evening Reading from the Old Testament: Judges 10-11

Again the Israelites did evil. The LORD sold them to the Philistines and the Ammonites. They cried out and put aside foreign gods.

Jephthah vowed to sacrifice whatever came out to meet him if he defeated the Ammonites. His daughter met him so he sacrificed her.
