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 16: 19-31

“A shrewd manager reduced his master’s bills before he was fired. Abraham would not send Lazarus to comfort a rich man in Hades.”

Evening Reading from the Old Testament: 1 Samuel 25-26

Samuel died. Nabal insulted David so his wife Abigail pleaded for restraint. The LORD struck Nabal dead and David married Abigail.

Saul came after David. David took Saul’s spear and jug while he slept but spared his life. David called out and Saul blessed him.
