Read To Me Daily Semester 4Sample

2CHRONICLES 35:
It is simply amazing that we have books like Deuteronomy, since we we heard in our story yesterday that it (or perhaps Leviticus) was almost lost. And it shows how far Judah had slipped that they didn’t know of any copies. Josiah sincerely repented after hearing God’s Word.

ECCLESIASTES 11:
Yesterday’s chapter of Ecclesiastes was mainly separate proverbs. As an example I quote verse 3, which I like in the NLT:

Ecc. 10:3 NLT You can identify fools just by the way they walk down the street!

MATTHEW 22b:
Jesus told a pointed parable yesterday in the one about the King’s wedding feast for his son. And I hope you caught the symbolism when a man at the wedding feast got thrown out for not wearing wedding clothes! At the end of that parable Jesus said, “Many are invited, but few are chosen.” He did not say, “Few accept the offer.” He said, “Few are chosen.” Then after that, the men sent by the Pharisees with friends of King Herod failed miserably to trap Jesus.

Let’s pray.
Our dear heavenly Father, we look forward to that great wedding feast of the Lamb of God. Thank You for inviting us and choosing us! We are those who came in last, the people your servants found along the road, unworthy of the honor. We thank You that we are sitting with You now in white wedding clothes that we did not make or purchase. We had nothing to wear that was so fine. These clothes were given to us, purchased by your Son at the cost of his life’s blood. We accepted your gift— scarcely believing that we could be so fortunate. Now that You have brought us here, we desire to keep our clothes clean. May we live our lives in a way that shows that we understand the great cost that purchased our entrance into this new relationship with You.
