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 8: 37-59

Jesus did not condemn a woman caught in adultery. The Pharisees questioned him. He said, “If God were your Father you would love me.”

Evening Reading from the Old Testament: 1 Chronicles 8-10

Benjamin was father of Bela, Ashbel, Aharah, Nohah and Rapha; Ner’s line was Kish, Saul, Jonathan; the sons of Ulam were mighty men.

Jerusalem was resettled by Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim and Manasseh; there were priests and Levite gatekeepers. Kish was father of Saul.

The Philistines fought Israel and Saul fell on his sword. The Israelites fled. Saul died for his unfaithfulness against the LORD.
