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 9: 1-23

Jesus healed a blind man on the Sabbath. The Pharisees called the man and threw him out. Jesus said, “I came that the blind may see.”

Evening Reading from the Old Testament: 1 Chronicles 11-13

The elders anointed David king. David’s mighty men included the three who brought him water from Bethlehem. Abishai led the thirty.

Benjaminites and Gadites went over to David at Ziklag. David made them officers. People kept coming until there was a great army.

David said, “Let us bring the ark back.” As they carried the ark Uzzah steadied it and was struck down. David took it to Obed-edom.
