Today's Reading

Numbers. As this book draws to a close, we are given a task list for the various festivals the Hebrews celebrate each year. While I'm sure that this list has been reformed over the years, Jewish people still celebrate each festival. The traditions give great meaning to our faith.

Luke's genealogy of Jesus Christ is a bit different than the one on Matthew. Matthew starts at the beginning; Luke starts at the end.

Psalms. Verses 11 and 12 have long ministered to me, especially in times of great stress. "11 God has spoken plainly,
and I have heard it many times:
Power, O God, belongs to you;
12 unfailing love, O Lord, is yours." Unequaled Might; Unbridled Mercy.

Proverbs. It's interesting that we pursue riches, thinking we will find a great life. Yet the source of a great life is godliness.

The Numbers and Luke passages weren't particularly interesting reading to me today. Psalms and Proverbs more than made up for it. How about you?
