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 17

Jesus said, “Father, I have revealed your name to those you gave me. Sanctify them in the truth. May all who believe in me be one.”

Evening Reading from the Old Testament: 2 Chronicles 26-28

The people made Uzziah king. He did right and became powerful. But he went to burn incense on the altar and was struck with leprosy.

Jotham became king and did right in the sight of the LORD. He built fortresses in the hills and conquered the Ammonites.

Ahaz became king. He made idols, so the LORD gave him to Aram and Israel. He shut the LORD’s temple and sacrificed to other gods.
