Today's Reading

2 Samuel: David's love for his children made it difficult for him to discipline them. It seems that he ignored Amnon's rape of Tamar since surely he had heard about it. Then he ignored Absalom as he took matters into his own hands. It's a setup for what will happen next.

John: this is the true "Lord's prayer." The one we call by that title is really a model prayer for us to pray. This is Jesus' prayer for us.

Psalm 119: it's really amazing. God's Word, when empowered by God's Spirit, is alive and touches every generation in every culture, location and language.

Proverbs: have you noticed that our most recent enemies constantly use our corruption and greed as the reason they want to destroy our nation? What would happen if our entire nation humbled themselves before God and lived according to God's instructions? I believe it would change the way the rest of the world looks at us.
