Today's Reading

2 Samuel. David's victory was shaky. The effect of Absalom's rebellion was to make everyone more tentative than before. It's what happens when a group of people go through what I call a "train wreck." Everyone wonders if someone else is about to abandon them; many question themselves and aren't sure if they can stay with the group.

John. Three times, Jesus asked Peter, "Do you love Me?" Each time Peter's affirmation was followed by variations of "Feed My sheep." If Jesus asked you, "Do you love Me?", what would you say? If you said, "Yes," what would He tell you to do?

The conclusion statement is telling. "Jesus also did many other things." Truthfully, He's still doing them in and through His body, the church.

Psalms. What should we do with our troubles? Take them to the Lord!

Proverbs. Wisdom will lead us around evil, whenever possible.
