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: Acts 17: 16-34

They taught in Thessalonica and Berea. In Athens Paul said, “I proclaim the God who gives life to all. He will judge the world.”

Evening Reading from the Old Testament: Psalms 10-12

O LORD, why do you stand far off? The wicked man hunts the weak. He says, “God will never see.” O God, break the arm of the wicked!

In the LORD I take refuge. How can you say, “Flee like a bird”? The LORD hates the wicked. The LORD is righteous and loves justice.

Help, O LORD, for the godly are no more. Everyone lies. “I will protect the weak,” says the LORD. The words of the LORD are pure.
