Read To Me Daily Semester 4Sample

EZEKIEL 6-7:
In yesterday’s reading, Ezekiel portrayed the punishment of Israel and the siege on Jerusalem for a total of 430 days. Then he took a razor and cut his hair and divided it into three parts with a little left over. This was used as a demonstration that a third of the people would die in the city from disease and famine. A third will be killed by the enemy outside the city, and the last third will be scattered by the sword. A small remnant will be saved.

SONG OF SOLOMON 4:
In Song of Solomon yesterday, the woman had an extended speech. Today it is the man’s turn.

MATTHEW 25a:
Yesterday in Matthew we concluded Jesus’ extended teaching about the end times and His own return, and the parables about our Being READY to receive our Master. At the beginning today’s chapter, we have one of my favorite parables.

Let’s pray.
Lord Jesus, we worship you as the eternal Son of Man and Messiah. Heaven and earth will get old and You will roll them up like old clothes and toss them away. But Your words will never pass away. It is a testimony of your greatness that thoughtful people of every age since You taught these words to your disciples have looked for your coming without giving up. People don’t dismiss your words because it has been a long time. Instead You have arranged it so that we always can see signs that You will come. As you said, “So then you must always be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you are not expecting him.” Lord, help us to be your faithful servants, who will weep with joy at your coming, not weep with sorrow. May You find us awake and doing what You told us to do. And may we not be fooled by any kind of false teaching that would lead us to be unfaithful to You.
