Today's Reading
Zechariah. We met the "two witnesses" in Revelation 11 and they are surely the same two "heavenly beings" mentioned in Zechariah 4. Don't be surprised that this Old Testament book and Revelation (New Testament) are speaking of the same thing, even though they were written hundreds of years apart. When prophets saw things, they were looking outside their understanding of the realm of time. They just saw. Then they wrote it down. One other observation: we often justify "little white lies" or petty theft by the needy. What do you notice about God's attitude regarding those things?
Revelation. This chapter speaks in detail about the coming day when people will be forced to choose very carefully whom they will serve because there may be no turning back from the choice. Acceptance of the beast's mark to buy and sell (the technology already exists) will require allegiance to him and a permanent denial of God. The judgment during that time will be horrible.
Psalms . People in depression feel exactly what this chapter describes, I am told. It is a tragic set of circumstances and one that often needs a remedy beyond human encouragement. May all those who live in this experience and who know Christ end up in the last verse of the passage.
Proverbs. What an apt description!

That is so cool how our reading in Zechariah and in Revelation line up. It reminds me of the wood-working term, "dove-tailing".
