Today's Reading
1 Samuel. This is the beginning of the reign of Saul. He was ill-prepared for being a king. He seems to have had little leadership experience and immediately used the threat of force to accomplish his first military battle, which (by God's grace) was a victory. As we watch Saul, notice how he never becomes confident about who he is. His insecurity brings great heartbreak to many, including his own family.
John. Today's passage is full of mystery. The people would have loved the miracle of little pieces of manna on the ground the way their ancestors had experienced it in the wilderness. Jesus said that He offers something much better -- Himself. What does it mean to you?
Psalms. "Those who are wise will take all this to heart;
they will see in our history the faithful love of the Lord."
God's faithfulness is what brings us through. Let's proclaim it!
Proverbs. God is even keeping watch on my tongue. May it be a fountain of life and not spewing death.
How about it today, Climbing Companion? How are you doing? What are your thoughts?

I've always liked how songs (new and old) that we sing are found in scriptures...in Psalms today there is "...love endures forever." Upon reading it the tune instantly goes through my mind. It's a good thing when the right tune is stuck in my head; of course I can't remember the rest of the lyrics so I then repeat the same words over and over and over and over... :)
