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: John 3: 22-36

Jesus told Nicodemus, “Be born again. Whoever believes in the Son will have eternal life.” John the Baptist said, “He is above all.”

Evening Reading from the Old Testament: 2 Kings 1-3

Ahaziah consulted Baal-zebub. Elijah said that he would die. Ahaziah sent men to Elijah but they were consumed by fire. Ahaziah died.

Elisha followed Elijah. A chariot of fire appeared and Elijah went up to heaven. Elisha took Elijah’s mantle and divided the waters.

Israel, Judah and Edom went to fight Moab. Elisha said, “The LORD will send water and give you Moab.” The Moabites were defeated.
