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 17: 1-19

Jesus said, “If your brother repents, forgive him.” He healed ten lepers. He said, “In his day the Son of Man will light up the sky.”

Evening Reading from the Old Testament: 1 Samuel 27-29

David lived among the Philistines to escape Saul. King Achish gave him Ziklag. David secretly raided the land while he lived there.

The Philistines gathered for war. Saul asked a medium to call Samuel. Samuel said, “The LORD will hand you over to the Philistines.”

David and his men marched with Achish. The Philistine commanders said, “He will turn against us,” so Achish told David to go back.
