Today's Reading

1 Chronicles: the record of the families continues, with occasional personal history stories thrown in.

Acts: this graphic telling of a shipwreck must be one of the best descriptions of such in ancient writing. It is critical to note that Paul's foreboding wasn't a natural fear, but something he sensed in his spirit. However, he was bound to go. Note had the care taken by the crew wasn't enough to forestall disaster. There's a great lesson there.

Psalms: David was quick to declare his dependence upon God. He was also quick to look inwardly to make sure He wasn't short-circuiting God's protection and provision by harboring sin.

Proverbs: this verse is certainly true for me!
