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 14

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. I am in the Father and the Father in me. He will give you the Holy Spirit. Do not be afraid.”

Evening Reading from the Old Testament: 2 Chronicles 13-16

Abijah became king of Judah. He drew up battle lines against Jeroboam and said, “The LORD is our God”. The LORD routed Jeroboam.

Asa became king. He did right in the sight of the LORD. Zerah the Ethiopian brought an army against Judah but the LORD routed them.

Azariah said to Asa, “The LORD is with you when you are with Him. Do not give up.” The people made a covenant to seek the LORD.

Baasha fortified Ramah so Asa made a treaty with Ben-hadad. Hanani said, “You relied on Aram not the LORD.” Asa became ill and died.
