Today's Reading

Deuteronomy: God knew that Israel would be tempted to take on the worship practices of the pagan tribes they were displacing. He promised to protect and provide as long as they worshiped Him alone. The word picture of how they made rows with their feet to plant vegetables in Egypt is followed by God's promised to be their irrigation specialist as long as they put Him first. Wow!

For some reason, I read Luke today through the lens of Jesus' selflessness. In the lake He had no fear of the storm and used it as a teaching opportunity. He was neither embarrassed nor afraid during the encounter with Legion. He didn't seem to think twice about the reaction when the pigs ran into the sea. Hmmmmm.

Today's Psalm reminds me that life includes shouts of victory and whispered prayers for help. David remembered one but was experiencing the other.

I can't read this verse in Proverbs without being doubly grateful for Cathy.

I would love to hear from you today.
