Read To Me Daily Semester 2Sample

JOSHUA 6-7:
In yesterday’s reading in the book of Joshua, Joshua led the people across the Jordan on dry ground, and they set up 12 stones in two places to be memorial reminders for the people of this miracle. All the men were circumcised, and the angel who is the commander of God's army revealed himself to Joshua.

PSALM 69b:
In yesterday’s reading in the first half of Psalm 69, I appreciated that the writer made his appeal to God based on the Lord’s ‘constant love’. We will continue the reading of Psalm 69 with four verses appropriate to Jesus’ life. Note that verse 22 is quoted by Paul in Romans 11. 

ACTS 21a:
Yesterday in the book of Acts, we heard Paul's speech to the Ephesian elders. The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that they would never see him again. He warned them to be faithful in shepherding the people and to watch out for false teaching. In Revelation 2 we find out that they did as Paul commanded, but in their zeal to protect from error, they forgot to be loving.

Let's pray together.
Our heavenly Father, thank You that You have made us your own through the blood of your son it was his blood shed on the cross. It was then most of all that David’s words in Psalm 69 were fulfilled in Jesus— when “the insults of those who insulted You (heavenly Father) fell upon Him.” Through his obedience and sacrificial death, we have been made right and we have been bought to You. We are not our own. We have been bought with a price— an exceedingly precious price! Father, we thank You for the shepherds that You have put over us. I hope that my listener is a member of a church body which is under the leadership of a pastor. So I pray that You, Father, would bless that pastor with special wisdom in leading his flock in these difficult times. Keep them close to You, and help them to proclaim the whole purpose of God, just like Paul did. Lord, we thank you for the amazing message of your grace, and how that grace itself can build us up, as it works in our hearts to change us. We don't get right because of following the Law, but because You in your grace have saved us. So Lord, make us grateful, make us exceedingly thankful for all that you have done for us in your grace. Build us up that we will understand your grace to us, and help us to be ambassadors of your grace today.
