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 15: 1-10

Jesus said, “Heaven rejoices when a sinner repents. A son squandered his father’s wealth. He returned and his father called a feast.”

Evening Reading from the Old Testament: 1 Samuel 17-18

A Philistine champion named Goliath challenged the Israelites. David killed Goliath with a sling and a stone. The Philistines fled.

Jonathan loved David. Saul set David over the army but became jealous and tried to kill him. David married Saul’s daughter Michal.
