February 14

Today's Reading

Happy Valentine's Day! May you bask in the love of Christ today.

Exodus. Given the high value of precious metals, what do you think of the materials used to construct the tabernacle? Did you notice that the items in the sanctuary -- the place where they met God -- were made of gold; the items on the outside near the people were of bronze?

Matthew. Notice the various reactions of the women, the guards and the religious leaders. I watch the same reactions today.

Psalms. Does anyone want to live a life
that is long and prosperous?
Then keep your tongue from speaking evil
and your lips from telling lies!
Turn away from evil and do good.
Search for peace, and work to maintain it. (Psalm 34:12-14 NLT)

I have been praying much in this area recently. Over the years, God has developed my peace barometer and I am sensitive to conditions of strife. Maintaining peace is hard work, but the byproduct is worth the effort!

Proverbs. The wise listen to wisdom; fools won't.

I hope to hear from you today.

  1. I had never noticed the exact order of thing the passage in Matt implys. It sounds like the guards saw the angle roll the stone away before they fainted. It sounds like the women got to watch the angle move the stone too!

    What a great crescendo this book ends with!
