Today's Reading
We begin the next section of Israel's history with the book entitled, 1 Kings. It starts with the end of David's reign and moves on from there. It's amazing that some of the same people who loyally followed David in Absalom's rebellion turned against David in Adonijah's rebellion. It could be that they didn't trust the king to handle the transition definitively.
Acts gives the account of the boldness and bravery of the early disciples. They were facing the earliest stages of persecution. They church would keep growing and that persecution would intensify.
Psalms: do you remember one of those experiences when you were on a weak team and were constantly losing? Then a really top-notch player or two stepped in and suddenly you were winners? Do you remember what it did to you? That's the cry of praise in this Psalm. I love it!
Proverbs: it's amazing to watch the power of a few kind words. Try it out!
