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 20: 27-47

The elders questioned Jesus’ authority. Jesus said, “A man’s tenants killed his son.” So they asked about taxes and the resurrection.

Evening Reading from the Old Testament: 2 Samuel 15-16

Absalom went to Hebron and sent out spies to proclaim him king. David fled, but he told Zadok and Hushai to return to Jerusalem.

Shimei cursed David but David spared him. Absalom came to Jerusalem. Ahithophel advised Absalom to sleep with David’s concubines.
