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 21: 20-38

Jesus said, “The temple will be thrown down. Jerusalem will be trampled. The Son of Man will come in glory. Stay awake at all times.”

Evening Reading from the Old Testament: 2 Samuel 19-20

The king mourned for Absalom. The men of Judah came to escort him back across the Jordan. Shimei and Mephibosheth came to meet him.

Sheba led the men of Israel to desert David. Joab killed Amasa and besieged Sheba at Abel. The people of Abel cut off Sheba’s head.
