Today's Reading
2 Kings. The kingdom of Israel gradually grew farther and farther away from the Lord and finally were exiled from their own land. I take that as a warning for the times when I am growing farther from an intimate relationship with God. In the meantime, God was still working and another good king -- Hezekiah -- came to power in Judah. That, too, should stimulate us to walk with Him. We we disregard God and His power, we are in danger that He will take the good work He wanted to do through us and accomplish it through someone else. How tragic!
Paul was so focused! Today, in Acts, he makes it clear that he knows what lies ahead and he will walk right into it! Why? So he can complete his task. That challenges me!
Psalms. Above all else, we must praise the Lord. As we do so, we are acknowledging His Lordship, His goodness and His faithfulness over all His creation.
Proverbs. My friend tells me that keeping your mouth shut is one of the best ways to avoid trouble. I need to keep working on that!
What speaks to you today? Questions on your mind?

Paul truly is an example of how Christians should be living! So few could make the claims that he made of true devotion to Christ.
