Today's Reading

2 Kings: Joash was committed to the Lord as long as Jehoida the priest was there to guide him. However, it was a grave sin to take the things dedicated to the Lord and use them to pay off Hazael, a pagan king. On the flip side, the priests were less than honorable when they took the money designated for restoring the temple and used it for their personal needs. Those are both great lessons to me.

Acts: notice how long Paul stayed at Corinth compared to often hopping around among other towns. Then remember 1 and 2 Corinthians where he wrote such detailed messages to this church. It's a great picture.

Psalms: isn't it great to know that God is there to help us when our load is heavy?

Proverbs: I heard a story about a man who loved to make his neighbors miserable because he was miserable and felt it should be spread around. True story.
